It is a Friday and would like to close with a little something…..many people are using AI to get to the heart of a story (I think it is kinda lazy but that is just me)….

Most people with a functioning brain thinks Donny is a liar….even his own AI chatbot thinks so as well….

I thought it would be helpful to see what the new artificial intelligence chatbot Trump added to Truth Social on Aug. 6 had to say about whether he is trustworthy and whether his signature policies are popular.

Truth Social AI, the chatbot, offered me answers that echoed opinions from the new national polling and responded this way when I asked if Trump has a history of lying: “Yes. Major fact-checkers, courts, and official investigations have documented numerous false claims by Donald Trump over many years.”

So Trump’s own chatbot calls him out as a liar. How awkward for him. How candid and correct for the rest of us.

On the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Truth Social AI told me that “most national polling shows Americans disapprove” of it, though some people approve of “specific provisions” such as some tax breaks included in it.

On tariffs, Truth Social AI said, “Most credible analyses find Trump’s tariffs have been a net drag on the U.S. economy ‒ raising consumer and business costs, reducing overall employment and output ‒ though they can modestly lift employment in some protected manufacturing industries.”

Asked about how Trump is changing the federal government, Truth Social told me “approval is mixed and modest,” citing Associated Press-NORC polls showing “roughly 4 in 10 Americans approve.” That was interesting framing, since a clear majority in those polls don’t like how Trump is operating.

Maybe he ought to put his IT guys to work corrected this oversight…..he just cannot have his own AI on his own social media site contradicting his words.
