They work similarly, intuitively and conversationally. Experiment with them.

President Trump zigs and zags into countless political and diplomatic issues, but none comes close to his sustained, and surging, all-in alliance with tech billionaires and AI companies reshaping the U.S. economy. He won on the backs of working-class MAGA. But he governs, socializes, and surrounds himself with tech swells and moguls.
