OK this is amazing.
Trump’s Truth Social has its own AI search tool, which company debuted a month after Trump signed an exec order to end use of “Woke AI” in federal government.
Here's how it responds to questions about tariffs, who won 2020 election, Jan 6, etc:

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.

Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.
Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

There’s also a zero percent chance the real number is 3 trillion
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

The Party that won last week is not the Party that lost the Senate fight. We need new leadership. There's a Grand Canyon between the people & those who've encrusted themselves into the Senate roster.
New in PN: Cue the rebellion
"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.

This is weird: Trump is actually making sense on higher ed (if you ignore the HBCU thing) - foreign students are important to higher ed. Elsewhere he corrects Ingraham on the fallacy that foreign students take domestic places. But his stance is at odds with his administration's policies up to now.
