An LLM is an automated sycophant. Of course Trump loves it. An advisor might tell him he has a bad idea.
LLM can be sycophantic at times, but it will usually not hesitate to tell you you are wrong.
I think the more attractive LLM property is that you can ask questions, without thereby admitting to a human that there is something he doesn't know. That is surely very attractive to narcissists like Trump.
There is load bearing proof that trump is absolutely right.
