It wouldn't be foolish. The US has an active cult of personality, and whatever the leader says, half the country believes it unquestioningly. If OpenAI is said to be protecting America and DeepSeek is doing terrible, terrible things to the children (many smart people are saying it), there'll be an overnight pivot to half the country screaming for it to be banned and harassing anyone who says otherwise.
Who cares if some people think you look foolish when you have a locked down 500 billion dollar investment guarantee?
