Bizarre 250th spectacle in North Dakota sees Trump take ride on red, white and blue train – and speak with hologram of 26th president The sound of YMCA by the Village People booming through the badlands of North Dakota could only mean one thing: Donald Trump’s 250th anniversary travelling circus had reached a remote corner of America more familiar with bison, wild horses and bighorn sheep. The US president visited Medora on Wednesday to dedicate a $450m library and museum honouring Theodore Roosevelt , the 26th president, in the region where he roamed as a cowboy and big-game hunter in the 1880s. In what critics saw as his latest effort to cloak himself in the mantle of great men of history, Trump delivered a speech that drew comparisons with Roosevelt, whose face is carved into Mount Rushmore in neighbouring South Dakota, but notably said little about his predecessor’s environmental legacy. Even by the haphazard standards of the America250 events so far, Wednesday’s extravaganza was bizarre. Trump’s trip marked the debut of a refurbished Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One, featuring a red, white, dark blue and gold paint scheme selected by the president. Against a dramatic landscape of eroded hills, deep ravines and layered rock, Trump then emulated Roosevelt’s whistle-stop tours by taking a short journey on a train painted red, white and blue with bunting and the words “Freedom”, “Liberty” and “1776-2026”. The train halted at a railroad crossing with horn blasting and bell ringing as a crowd, who had waited in the sun for three hours in the company of a Roosevelt impersonator, chanted “Go, Trump!” and “USA! USA!” Trump, who has previously shown little interest in railways, disembarked at the same spot as the 24-year-old Roosevelt more than 140 years before. Chris Pawlik, 35, an army veteran who works for a solar energy startup in Austin, Texas, was wearing a t-shirt with an image of Mount Rushmore doctored to include Trump’s face above the words: “Making history again.” He said: “Trump is similar to Teddy Roosevelt. It’s like the big stick policy is how he sees himself as well.
Mark Zuckerberg had big ambitions for Meta's AI business. Billions of dollars have been poured into the effort, top AI researchers have been hired, rivals have been aggressively poached for talent, and the company has spent years trying to catch up in the generative AI race. But despite all that investment, Meta is still struggling to establish itself alongside industry leaders such as Anthropic or OpenAI. Now, the Facebook parent appears to be looking for another way to make money from its AI ambitions by renting its artificial intelligence infrastructure. According to a Bloomberg report, Meta is considering turning its AI infrastructure into a cloud business by letting other companies rent its computing power, even as its own flagship AI model faces delays and remains unavailable to developers. The report says Meta is weighing two options. One would let developers access AI models hosted on Meta's infrastructure and pay only for the computing power they use, similar to Amazon Web Services' Bedrock platform. The other would see Meta rent out its spare AI computing capacity, putting it in direct competition with AI cloud providers such as CoreWeave, as well as cloud giants including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The reported cloud business is expected to operate under an internal project called Meta Compute, which manages the company's growing AI infrastructure According to the report the strategy is still under discussion and could change. The delay has raised questions about whether Meta can catch up with rivals despite spending billions of dollars on AI talent and infrastructure.
