Trump speaking with AI robot analysing market data

Since Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House in early this year, political messaging has once again become market-moving material.

We’re no longer just parsing policies – we’re analysing rhetoric.

Curious to see what patterns might emerge, I asked ChatGPT to analyse Trump’s speeches since his inauguration – with a focus on the past two months. Not for entertainment (well, maybe a little), but to better understand how language, frequency and framing shape market expectations.

AI Picks Up Patterns

👉 The AI identified consistent themes:
🔋 Energy independence
🛡️ Security & defence industry
🏭 Inward-focused industrial policy
🛠️ Big infrastructure promises

All paired with the usual Trumpism: “Greatest ever”, “America first”, “Tremendous results.”

It was fascinating – the semantic structure of a presidency turned into an economic sentiment map.

Insight ≠ Advice

But let’s be clear: just because the AI detects patterns doesn’t mean it understands portfolios. So, I brought in an investment expert. We reviewed the themes, weighed the risk, and translated some of it into a temporary satellite positioning – not gospel, just strategic alignment with a volatile narrative.

Because no matter how clever the model…

AI still doesn’t know that you don’t put St. Galler bratwurst on a vegan tasting plate.
