Disclaimers:
I am NOT yet accusing Trump of treason.
Below I’ll tell you why.
March 7, 2025. Kyiv, Ukraine?
By the time you read this, events may have changed the percentages.
Since February 21, I’ve been conversing with Grok on Trump and his relationship to the Ukraine situation. My full conversation is 50+ pages so far, so this article is just the essence.
I’m an American citizen who has spent a lot of time in Ukraine, so my bias is pro-Ukraine . My politics are independent libertarian, so this was not intended as hit piece.
In my table below, traitor and treason are in relation to the US. Asset, ally, etc., are all in relation to Russia.
Grok’s Trump Traitor Table
Why Grok?
Since Grok was created X, Musk’s company, I figured it is the AI least likely to be biased against Trump and Musk.
For current events analysis, it’s ideal because of its ability to access socials and outlets.
Prompt Engineering Caveats?
A prompt is only as good as its prompter, and I’m no pro. I used Grok 3 which at the time of this writing is in Beta testing.
Also, Grok gathers data from news outlets, X, and possibly other socials. Those sources are human created, and subject to bias.
Personally, I would never want to see humans judged and sentenced by an AI.
Why Do This?
Certainly not for fun!
These past couple two weeks have been hell for me.
This war has been hell for me, but not nearly the hell it has been for the Ukrainians.
The Oval Office brawl was NOT good television as Trump said. I’m still in shock.
I did it because I’m searching for answers anywhere I can find them. I know I’m not going to find them from my country’s leadership.
I wish I wish I did this experiment before the election.
Grok’s Track Record So Far
As “far back” as February 21, 2025, Grok predicted that Trump had a 70-90% chance of betraying Zelensky. Since that day, I’ve noticed similar Grok experiments posted about Trump with similar results.
March 8, 2025
As recently as yesterday, I was prepared to argue against Grok and say that Trump probably was not a traitor. Since yesterday, I didn’t bother to adjust the percentages.
In my previous articles, less than a month ago, I’ve defended both Trump’s peace plan?
The fallout from Trump revoking satellite support for the armed forces of Ukraine was the last straw for me. He cannot now bring the dead back to life. Without those guidance systems, HIMARS and air defense can’t do their jobs as effectively.?
Since Ukraine was our military ally at the time of the election, this fits what many would see as a colloquial definition of a traitor. Note that soon after the Oval Office incident, Zelensky wrote a letter of submission to Trump, but Trump would not turn satellite support back on. The Russians used this to not only drive Ukraine out of Kursk, but attempt to encircle its large number of troops there.
Without US help, Ukraine never would have enacted the Kursk offensive. If we wanted to withdraw support, we at least owed to the Ukrainians to give them enough warning to evacuate their troops for Kursk. Since Trump didn’t do that, I’m assuming his goal was to harm Ukrainian forces and possibly civilians.?
Since this betrayal of Ukrainians wasn’t part of Trump’s campaign, I’m going to agree with Grok, Musk’s own AI, that this fits the colloquial definition of a traitor to the US.
Treason, however, requires a certain legal standard of proof that has yet to be met. Therefore, I also agree with Grok that Trump and the actors above are not yet proven to be guilty of treason against the US.
Of course, you will judge for yourselves.
Until next time, if there is one,
Slave Ukraina! Heroium Slava!
