President Donald Trump launched a new artificial intelligence chatbot on Tuesday, calling it “damn good.” Turns out that one of the things it’s reasonably good at is debunking Trump’s own lies.

We asked the America.gov chatbot about numerous false claims the president has made in recent months, including one he uttered at the Tuesday launch event itself. The chatbot flatly and correctly noted that many of these Trump claims are not true – including assertions he has made about elections, the economy, immigration and foreign affairs.

The chatbot is not the best tool for political fact-checking. Intended to help Americans access federal information and services, it refused to address some Trump falsehoods on the grounds that the answers would require information from sources outside the federal government. It also provided outdated or incomplete evidence in some cases. Still, its firm rejections of some of his most frequent falsehoods represent a rare repudiation of his dishonesty from a source his administration developed and he personally endorsed.

52 years after his resignation and 32 years after his death, the Department of Justice is looking into whether President Richard M. Nixon was wronged by federal prosecutors investigating the Watergate scandal. Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) said Thursday that Nixon was “absolutely couped out of office and was framed.”  Moore also compared Nixon to President Donald Trump, claiming that they were both victims of the “deep state.”

CNN’s “NewsNight” panel debates the news, and former Nixon Library director Tim Naftali speaks with Laura Coates. Also, Jim Antle of the Washington Examiner discusses the “Nixonmaxxing” trend, in which Gen Z lionizes the ex-president.

President Donald Trump has locked on to a new excuse for the GOP’s impending 2026 midterm losses: It’s the messaging, not the results.

President Trump’s net approval rating on inflation hit -65 points in AP-NORC’s cost of living poll Thursday. CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten points out that this rating is the record low not only for Trump, but for any president ever. Enten also observes that Trump is the first president to poll below -50% net approval on inflation ever: “Donald Trump is underwater. . .among Democrats, independents, and Republicans as well.”

Also, Abby Phillip’s “NewsNight” panel debates Trump’s historic unpopularity.
