Trump Trade: DoW adds Google’s Gemini for Government models to suite

Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly.

GEMINI: The official account for the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering stated in a post to X, “Today, the @DeptofWar is officially adding Google’s Gemini for Government 3.1 Pro and 3.0 Flash to the suite of models available on URL These upgrades significantly reduce hallucinations, improve output quality, and accelerate productivity, giving warfighters more time to focus on mission-critical tasks.”

Meanwhile, more than 560 Google (GOOGL) employees signed a letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to block the use of its AI in classified U.S. military operations, citing concerns about harmful applications, The Financial Times’ Stephen Morris reported. The letter argues AI should benefit humanity and warns against uses such as lethal autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. “The only way to guarantee that Google does not become associated with such harms is to reject any classified workloads,” the letter says. “Otherwise, such uses may occur without our knowledge or the power to stop them.”

HORMUZ STRAIT: President Trump said on social media, “Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse.’ They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!).”

JIMMY KIMMEL: In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said, “Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking. He showed a fake video of the First Lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they were actually sitting in his studio, listening to him speak, which they weren’t, and never would be. He then stated, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason. I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
