Irrelevant.  POTUS doesn’t find wealth or make laws.

I agree.  However my question is about how to “find” all the unimaginable wealth, and whose unimaginable wealth is unimaginably found.

I am not claiming to know.  It has a lot to do with what the superhuman AI decides to do.  There is no point in obsessing about POTUS, for he doesn’t make law or find wealth.

Government printing presses….

 

OK, so are you suggesting the government print counterfeit money?  That isn’t finding wealth, that’s just counterfeiting.

 

>…That will cause inflation….

 

Not necessarily.  If sufficient investors come buying treasuries, indicating arbitrarily high confidence in the currency, it will be like before the superhuman AI occurred.

That would depend entirely on whose wealth is generated.  If it is generated by AI, then the likely recipients are Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, Microsloth, Amazon and Tesla.
