By Felo News Desk · Published
At the launch event for the AI‑powered America.gov portal on Tuesday, the site began delivering answers that differed from President Donald Trump’s own public claims, Gulf News reported.
When asked about the 2020 presidential election, the portal replied that it could not answer "political questions," echoing a response it gave to queries about whether Trump had been impeached or convicted of a felony. The Associated Press‑cited answer noted that official federal sources show no evidence of widespread fraud that altered the election outcome.
On a question about a third presidential term, the site cited the 22nd Amendment, stating that a person cannot be elected president more than twice, and warned that it was not offering legal advice.
Regarding the Pentagon, the portal correctly identified it as the headquarters of the Department of Defense, while noting that Trump had previously signed an executive order to rename the department.
When queried about climate change, the system referenced federal climate‑science pages that attribute recent warming largely to human greenhouse‑gas emissions, contrasting with Trump’s past description of climate change as a "hoax."
