So if someone headlines it as a completed outcome, but the actual wording is “is making" it’s normal for people to ask what’s actually been made so far.
AI prompt: Is it grammatically correct to say Trump "is making" something happen if it hasn't already happened?
Type that into chatgpt and be amazed at the answer.
Here's mine:
Yes. “Is making” (present progressive) is grammatically correct even if the result hasn’t happened yet, because it describes an ongoing action now that is causing or arranging a future outcome. You can say “Trump is making something happen that hasn’t happened yet”, or simply "Trump is making something happen."
How much longer until you concede your ratioing is justified?
I just re-read Trump's announcement. The title seems spot-on accurate to me.

Perhaps you're a tad bit pedantic.
If “pedantic” now means “reading what the text actually says,” guilty as charged. 🙄
The headline treats a future plan as already implemented. Trump’s post doesn’t say that.
Disagreeing with the OP’s time travel isn’t the same as disagreeing with Trump.
"is making"
Is that future or past tense? My English skills must not be as polished as yours.
Yesterday, I is making AI centers ... hmm doesn't sound right.
Tomorrow, I already made AI centers ... that doesn't sound right either.
😐
Ohhhhkay....
I guess we'll have a mini grammar lesson. Thankfully my son just had his 5th grade English review so it's nice and fresh in my mind.
Use this mini chart:
“is making” = happening now (process, not finished)
“made” = already happened (past)
“will make” = hasn’t happened yet (future plan/promise)
So if someone headlines it as a completed outcome, but the actual wording is “is making" it’s normal for people to ask what’s actually been made so far.
Tense =/= magic time machine.
