Trump’s ‘Super Intelligence’ AI Rebrand Goes Viral After His Signature Appears To Misspell ‘US’

Just embarrassing

Six tech executives stood behind Trump at the White House Tuesday to sign an agreement on the future of AI. Directly beneath the president’s own signature, the document reads “President of the Unites States.”

Trump posted the signed document to Truth Social himself, captioning it, “Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” The typo quickly became the focal point. YouTube host Jessiah Eberlin went straight for the irony; “Only Trump could misspell United States on an official document talking about intelligence.”

The agreement itself, formally titled the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” was signed by Trump alongside executives from Meta, Google, Nvidia, Anthropic, and OpenAI. It lays out four voluntary layers of AI safety oversight, noting that nothing in it is legally binding and adding that “over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations.”

The same day, Trump signed a separate executive order instructing federal agencies to drop the terms “artificial intelligence” and “AI” entirely, replacing them with “super intelligence” or “SI.” The order explains the reasoning, stating the new term “more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies.”

The rebrand came from an informal source. He had polled his own Truth Social followers earlier, offering “super intelligence” against “superior intelligence” as options. “Super intelligence” won with 65% support out of roughly 50,000 votes.

He also used part of the day’s remarks to frame AI development as a competition with China, arguing the U.S. currently holds the lead and intends to keep it. “I didn’t want to do anything, because we’re leading,” he said when asked about cooperating further with Beijing on AI oversight. “Why would I want to do anything?”

That comment came just days after he and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to set up a channel for handling AI-related incidents during Xi’s state visit.

He pushed back against efforts to slow AI expansion domestically, tying the technology to economic benefits. “You’re going to see, data centers are going to be very popular,” he said, warning that continued opposition could push development “overseas or other locations.”
