    When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice

    I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time. (This could apply broadly to a few different people in the Admin)

    I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero’s rugged countenance and she’d betray her own father. (Would Ivonka betray him? Yes, definitely.)

    I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line “No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” (After that, death is usually instantaneous.) (Fascism never has a realistic assessment of strengths and weaknesses)

    I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans. (I don’t know that this has specifically happened, but I bet Trump would fall for it)

    I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am. (LLMs ain’t smart, but a Raspberry Pi can run one smarter than Trump)
