There are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies.

AI Verified The quote is authentic. The NOTUS source URL contains this exact wording and attributes it to Trump in a June 5, 2026 article. A transcript of Trump’s June 5, 2026 Air Force One press gaggle also matches the same remark in context, though the raw spoken version includes a brief false start before 'with the companies,' so the submitted quote is a shortened/cleaned excerpt of a genuine Trump statement.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Donald Trump (2026) from the NOTUS article "Trump Is Talking With Tech Executives About Acquiring 'Pieces' of Major AI Companies." WebFetch of source_url returned HTTP 403, but an independent web search returned the verbatim quote ("There are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies") attributed to Trump, corroborated by multiple outlets (Axios, Bloomberg, CNBC — all dated early June 2026) covering Trump's interest in public/government equity stakes in AI firms. Source URL is the primary source (NOTUS broke the story). Year 2026 is correct. The "for" vote correctly aligns with the statement that frontier AI labs should contribute equity to a national fund paying citizens a dividend — Trump expresses support for the public becoming a partner/beneficiary of AI companies. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
