Fun idea, and I could see it happen in a different country/administration. But Trump/MAGA has been explicitly “anti AI Safety; pro AI opportunities”, trying to ban federally ~ban AI regulation, etc. So this would mean departing a lot from their frame and thus potentially incurring substantial costs.
While I think that this particular type of comment around “ai psychosis” would be out of character for the trump administration, I don’t think that it is unprecedented at all for the Trump administration to occupy many different frames at the same time. They have little regard for internal consistency, just look at the many competing explanations for the Iran war.
