Remarks: Donald Trump Calls Jensen Huang of NVIDIA During a Live Appearance - September 14, 2026

Oh no.

This is not planned, but we know who it is.

Oh, no. Nope. Mr. President. [Laughter] Um, yes, sir. I gotta tell you something. It -- I -- I, uh, if it wasn't because of you calling, I would -- I'm on stage, with the besties. I'm on stage with the besties. [Laughter] I'm on stage with Sacks and, -- yeah, you kn- -- you know. The whole group. Yeah, Jason's here.

Chamath's here. Dave -- David's here. [Laughter] Yeah. I'm sitting in front of a few thousand people, and we're talking -- as it turns out, we were -- we weren't talking about you. [Laughter] Good job, sir.

Good job. The fact that you saw through all of that, I mean, there's a lot of complexity, and the fact of the matter is you saw through all of that and -- and I -- you know, we're all just really grateful.

[Sotto voce] Tell him I said hi. [Laughter]

Do you want sa- -- do you want to say hi, hi to the crowd?

Jason -- Jason would -- Jason would like to put you on the mic.

Even Jason.

Put him on speaker. Speaker mode. [Audience member calls out, "Speaker"]

How do you -- how do we put on POTUS?

On speaker.

Do we put him on speaker?

Speaker.

Yeah.

Right into the microphone.

Here. We're gonna get a mic.

Hang on a second, sir.

Hold on, sir, we're getting a microphone.

Mr. President?

Yes? It's me.

You're -- you're now talking to the planet.

See, the great thing about life is that Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world that nobody can copy for ten years. But he can't figure out and put me on speaker. [Laughter] That's the thing. We have to remember this one.

Roasted.

So, now, with the AI, it's almost a conspiracy, and the happiest group is China, and China's very happy. And I can even say in the country, a lot of states are happy that weren't going to get anything because they're being, uh, inundated by people who want to be there.

But now all of a sudden we see they're building in Finland. They want to build one -- Google -- wants to build a big one in Finland, which I'm not happy about, because they weren't able to get permitting. And I'm telling you, it's all a hoax. The data centers are great, and they make people wealthy, and they make states wealthy, and it's the oil of the next 20, 25 years.

It's bigger than the internet, and the AI, you know, much more so. And, uh, they're just playing right into the hands of a lot of people that don't want to see it happen. And that could be political people. It could also be China. And we're not going to let that happen. It's a -- it's a hoax. And --

You're right. We're not going to let that happen, sir.

[Inaudible] No, we're not going to let it happen. The, uh, the robots are not going to be taking over the world. And that's not going to happen. You know, my uncle was a -- the top, probably, maybe the best of all time, frankly. [Laughter] But, uh, professors at MIT for 41, 42 years, and can -- known as being one of the most brilliant men.

And, he was, he was there for 41 years as the top -- he was like at the top, top of the ladder -- top of -- did many things.

Jensen knows all about it, but did many things. So I have a little genetic, uh, a little genetic strength if you believe in the resource theory, but I do. [Laughter] I have genetics, like --

That -- that ex- -- that explains why you know so much about AI.

The robots will not be taking over our country. Well, I know about AI. I know -- I also have common sense about AI. Uh, the robots will not be taking over. The AI will not be taking over the rest of the wor- -- the whole thing is a hoax. Now, with that, we have to be a little bit careful. We have to be, you know, we have to do things, and we have to do them prudently.

But that doesn't mean we're going to stop an industry because, you know, as we work on the next ten years about how to destroy it. So I'm with you all the way. I didn't even know how you felt about it. I assumed you felt the same way as me.

Yes, sir.

And we ha- -- if we're going to lead -- and I have an expression. It's whoever wins AI, wins. That's how big it is. It's bigger than the internet. And whoever wins AI, wins. And we can't let this kind of stuff happen. And that includes, very much includes data centers. There are communities that were dying that have data centers right now, and now they're wealthy communities.

Yeah.

Really wealthy communities. And, uh, that's the plan --

We're -- we're going to make sure that -- we're going to make sure that everybody, we're going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America. Every industry --

Good.

-- every company, every state, every people.

Good. Well, I feel strongly about it, and I have the position that can do something about it. We're not going to let that stuff happen. So, I have no idea who's at the meeting. I have no idea who the hell I'm talking to. [Laughter] But I'll --

Did you -- did you hear that? Did you hear that? Thousands of people are clapping for you.

I know. All I know, if you're there, you better listen to Jensen. But, uh, he's done an amazing job, and David has done an amazing job. And good luck to everybody. And, uh, we're going to stay with the future. The country has never done better. We have $20 trillion of investment coming into the country, and that's, as opposed to much less than 1 trillion under Sleepy Joe Biden. [Laughter] And that was for four years.

This is in one year. So, you know, it's, uh, it's really, the country is, there's -- the country has never seen anything like it, and we're going to keep it going.

And so thank you all very much.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Jensen. Thank you, everybody.

Okay, I'll call you back later. Thank you, Mr. President, thank you.

Okay. [Inaudible] Bye.
