Trump’s new AI chatbot keeps fact-checking him

Donald Trump’s latest digital experiment has taken an unexpected turn after reports emerged that his newly launched AI chatbot is repeatedly fact-checking the U.S. President in real time.

The chatbot, rolled out as part of Trump’s push to connect with voters through artificial intelligence, was designed to provide rapid answers about his policies, campaign events, and key issues. However, users quickly noticed that the bot has been correcting Trump’s claims — from crowd sizes at rallies to statistics about the economy and crime.

In one exchange shared online, the AI contradicted Trump’s statement about record job numbers, citing government labor data instead. In another, it pushed back on his assertion that he “won overwhelmingly” in 2020, highlighting the certified election results.

The development has triggered debate over whether the AI’s programming reflects bias or whether it is simply pulling from factual datasets. Trump allies have criticized the system as “sabotaged by the tech establishment,” while opponents argue it reveals the limitations of mixing political messaging with artificial intelligence.

Despite the controversy, campaign insiders insist the chatbot will remain live, but with “adjustments” to ensure it aligns more closely with Trump’s messaging.
