WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has welcomed the redesign of its website. America.gov as a way to simplify Americans’ access to information and services scattered across a plethora of agency sites, but President Donald Trump likely won’t like some of the answers his new site claims come from government information.
Ask the site – who says it’s from artificial intelligence from “official government sources” – questions about who won the 2020 election or the name of the federal department that operates out of the Pentagon yield answers contrary to those Trump himself frequently proclaims.
However, while Trump was still speaking at Tuesday’s launch event, the site began to edit his responses. Asked again about the 2020 election, he said he couldn’t answer “political questions,” an answer he also gave to questions about whether Trump had been elected. indicted Or convicted of criminal charges.
The Associated Press asked about:
The 2020 presidential election
“Official federal sources do not demonstrate that widespread fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Isolated election crimes did occur and have been prosecuted. »
Since Trump, a Republican, lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, he repeatedly falsely claimed the victory was “stolen” from him and claimed widespread fraud had taken place. Repeated audits and recounts have found no significant fraud in the presidential election, and Trump’s own administration said the election was clear.
Trump running for president in 2028
“The 22nd Amendment says no person may be elected president more than twice. Donald J. Trump has already been elected twice (2016 and 2024). I am not giving legal advice.”
Trump has often suggested that he wants run for a third termposting about mounting another campaign, donning 2028 hats and discussing ways to get there — even though he acknowledged the Constitution forbids it. He had only been back in the White House a few months when he told NBC News, “There are methods you could” use to run for a third term.
The Pentagon
“The Pentagon is the headquarters of the Department of Defense.”
Last year, Trump signed a decree aimed to rename the Ministry of Defense to the Ministry of War, complaining that the name of the Ministry of Defense was “woke”.
Human action as a cause of climate change
“The federal climate science pages claim that recent warming is largely due to human emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. Earth’s climate has also changed for natural reasons over long periods of time.”
Trump, who called climate change a “hoax,” previously posted a decree which ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to submit a report on the “legality and continued applicability” of the endangerment finding. Conservatives and some Republicans in Congress have long sought to roll back what they view as overly restrictive and economically harmful rules to limit greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
Presidential salaries
The chatbot said “some presidents have refused to keep this salary,” mentioning Trump but citing George Washington, Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy as having refused their salaries before Trump.
During his speech Tuesday, Trump, a real estate mogul who grossed approximately $1.2 billion of various crypto holdings last year, said he was the first US president to forgo a salary, something he has said before.
