I mean you want a serious answer? Or a joke one? Cause they're kind of related.
Trump makes so many AI videos and social media posts, he has caused the Ram shortage.

You realize the indication right?
For I dunno like 30 years. Every year semiconductors became smaller and cheaper. Ram and Storage was doubling, etc.
Here's some Corsair Ram that's been out since I think 2020? I can't fully remember if they updated. But here's the pricing over the last year
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16)

This is a problem. And it's one that isn't be resolved by the President. Instead he's actively pursuing what's causing this issue. Instead he wants to invest in AI everything.
Here's a PC I bought back in October 2024 for 1049
So i7-14700 16 GB DDR5 4060 TI 16 GB.
vs. a comparable,
So the processor is a bit faster, the GPU is a bit better. Both on benchmarks of about 10% improvement. But I'm paying nearly a 20% premium for that.
So yeah, you can say unprecedented tech inflation is something I'd be concerned about.

To me this is just a bi-product of a data center boom. Should Trump ban private companies from building those?

Tariffs were last year, shitty deals were last year. We're still not recovered from it.
you don't need to ban companies from it. You can work on ways to make it more expensive instead of incentivizing them. AI Boom is built around a bubble that's going to pop and cost us a lot of money.
