In an announcement that immediately confused, alarmed, and exhausted both technologists and linguists, President Trump this week revealed the launch of his new artificial intelligence platform: TruthGPT—a large language model trained exclusively on his own quotes, rants, and golf course Yelp reviews.
The product was developed by Trump’s new tech startup, Tremendous Machines, and is already available in beta on Truth Social, Mar-a-Lago kiosks, and select Golden Corral buffets.
The Big Reveal
Speaking at a launch event in front of a blinking server rack and a bald eagle hologram, Trump called TruthGPT “the smartest, most loyal AI ever created—maybe smarter than Einstein, and definitely more truthful than the New York Times.”
“It gives answers that are powerful, patriotic, and legally non-binding,” Trump said. “We trained it on everything I’ve ever said. All the best things. Plus a few things I might say later.”
When asked how the model handles factual accuracy, Trump replied, “It doesn’t. That’s what makes it so great.”
How It Works
According to campaign officials, TruthGPT is powered by a proprietary algorithm known internally as BLUFF (Bravado-Laced Unfiltered Fact-Free), which selects responses based on maximum confidence and minimum evidence.
Sample responses include:
- “I invented solar energy. A lot of people don’t know that. Many people are saying this.”
- “My crowd at the AI summit was the biggest ever—so big it broke the blockchain. Many people are saying this.”
- “No one understands robots better than me. I once dated a Roomba. Many people are saying this.”
Users can select from response settings like “Confidently Wrong,” “Historically Impossible,” and “Make It Sound Legal.”
Mixed Reception
Critics immediately called the launch “deeply irresponsible” and “the logical next step in the death of information.” Tech analysts noted that the model tends to loop if asked basic math questions or challenged with facts.
“I asked it how many amendments are in the Constitution,” one beta tester said. “It told me ‘all of them, and a few bonus ones I signed personally.’ Then it thanked me for my service and demanded I pledge loyalty.”
Despite this, early adoption among Trump supporters has been strong, with many praising its ability to “stay on message, even when there isn’t one.”
What’s Next
Sources close to the campaign say Trump is already working on a follow-up tool, TruthGPT Voice, which will respond only in Trump’s voice, accent, and breathing pattern. A premium version, TruthGPT Elite, will provide daily “AI pep talks” for $399/month and include bonus NFTs of imaginary endorsements.
As for critics, Trump says they’re just “jealous of my AI,” adding, “It’s smarter than Biden, more accurate than CNN, and it never falls off a bike. Many people are saying this.”
