Former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to President Donald Trump’s newest terminology campaign with the sort of carefully footnoted policy memo generally represented by two words and one middle-finger emoji.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the White House considers anyone who says “Artificial Intelligence” instead of his preferred “Super Intelligence” to be “THE ENEMY.” He has promoted the replacement term while announcing a federal Super Intelligence Force, because apparently the technology revolution was waiting for a branding meeting.
Greene reposted the forbidden phrase—“Artificial Intelligence”—and added the emoji. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie joined the mockery, writing that artificial intelligence had historically been a term reserved for politicians. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh also warned that statements like Trump’s were unhelpful before the midterms.
Greene resigned from Congress in January after a very public break with Trump and has continued criticizing the movement she once helped define. That history makes the post more than random internet snark. It is another small but visible example of a former loyalist treating presidential declarations as material for ridicule rather than instructions.
No executive order changed the standard name of the technology, and using “artificial intelligence” does not carry a legal penalty. The verified event is a presidential social-media post followed by public mockery. The rest is political theater with a new acronym and the same old concession stand.
