Bulwark Takes – "Trump’s Own AI Knows He’s Wrong!"

Podcast: Bulwark Takes
Host: Tim Miller with Bulwark team
Date: November 11, 2025
Episode Theme:
A tongue-in-cheek exploration of how Truth Social’s own AI feature, designed for Donald Trump’s social media platform, consistently debunks key Trump talking points—even drawing on right-leaning sources. Tim Miller and a co-host walk through several examples, underscoring the gulf between Trump’s claims and verifiable reality, and poking fun at the irony.

Episode Overview

Tim Miller and his co-host from The Bulwark dive into Truth Social's launch of "TruthSearch.AI," an AI-driven FAQ. Despite being built on conservative sources and designed for the Trump universe, it regularly refutes Donald Trump’s narratives—from the 2020 election and tariffs, to personal rumors and policy stances. The Bulwark team highlights these moments as emblematic of Trump’s most pervasive falsehoods, with special thanks to their colleague Jared for surfacing some of the juiciest AI debunks.

[Tim Miller]

Hey everybody. Tim Miller from the Bulwark here and.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

I've got some news that is as.

[Tim Miller]

Shocking to me as I'm sure it.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Will be to you.

[Tim Miller]

Truth can actually be found on Truth Social.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Donald Trump's social media site is Orwellian named Temu Twitter.

[Tim Miller]

But the truth isn't coming from the posts or any of the posters or.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Any that I saw. Well, maybe from my secret account Cuck Slayer.

[Tim Miller]

But the truth is coming from a.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

New feature that they launched a couple months ago called truthsearch.AI and you can go to truthsearchai and ask them some questions and the computer will spit out answers based on what it is seen from the Internet.

[Tim Miller]

It uses mostly conservative sites.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

So, you know, you would think that it would be advancing a lot of Donald Trump's lies.

[Tim Miller]

But turns out many of Donald Trump's lies are so ridiculous that they are even debunked by his own social media companies.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

AI let's go through them together.

[Tim Miller]

Shout out to our guy Jared, who.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Did a great interview over on the FY pod that you should go check out. Who works at the Bulwark offices, Who is out there doing the rapid response? Who's on the ground? Who is on these shitty sites so you don't have to be. Jared was on the spot of this. Shout out to Jared.

[Tim Miller]

Okay, let's go through was the 2020 election stolen from Donald Trump?

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

We asked Truth Social AI. The AI responded no.

[Tim Miller]

Dozens of court rulings, bipartisan state certifications and multiple recounts and audits found no evidence that 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. 041 let's continue. We asked the truth social AI Do Trump's tariffs cost the American people money?

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

The Truth AI responded yes.

[Tim Miller]

Tariffs are taxes on imports and evidence.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Shows the costs are largely passed on.

[Tim Miller]

To US Businesses and consumers through higher prices and input costs. Pretty funny since Donald Trump's out there talking about how people need a $2,000 rebate check from the tariffs. He wants to send people a $2,000 check.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Wonder why they need that rebate check?

[Tim Miller]

Well, if you ask the AI on Truth Social, it will tell you it's.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Because they've been paying higher costs, paying more thanks to Donald Trump's tariffs. So in an affordability year, maybe Donald.

[Tim Miller]

Trump shouldn't have been doing something that cost people more money.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Man, the Trump's AI is hot. It's like Ken Jennings of AI over here.

[Tim Miller]

How about this one?

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Thompson floating a new idea for affordability.

[Tim Miller]

A 50 year mortgage might save people money, he says. One of the stupidest ideas I've heard. We went ahead and asked The Truth Social AI, will a 50 year mortgage option help make housing more affordable in the US? True, social AI replies probably not. A 50 year mortgage would lower monthly payments modestly, but it largely shifts costs into the future, adds substantial lifetime interest, and risks pushing prices higher if it boosts demand without adding supply. This AI is out there citing sources like Washington Times and Fox Business, but.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Couple others that we asked.

[Tim Miller]

Trump recently voted that Barack Obama was receiving royalties for the use of his name on Obamacare.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

We asked about that through Social AI says no.

[Tim Miller]

There's no credible evidence that Barack Obama.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Received royalties from the Affordable Care Act.

[Tim Miller]

We asked about the upcoming court question.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Over tariffs and we asked Truth Social.

[Tim Miller]

AI would you say that Donald Trump's argument that he has virtually unlimited tariff powers under IPA is sound? The AI replied no. Courts have repeatedly rejected the claim that.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

IPA gives the president virtually unlimited tariff authority, and the Supreme Court justices across.

[Tim Miller]

The ideological spectrum have shown skepticism.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Hopefully the real life Supreme Court justices are as prudent as Trump's AI.

[Tim Miller]

Here's one more policy question that's out there when it comes to the law. Similar to the tariff and AIFA question, Is it legal for the United States.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

To bomb Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean? I asked the Trump true social AI.

[Tim Miller]

Short answer, not clearly. Under both US domestic law and international.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Law, there's no settled, disclosed legal basis authoring the United States to bomb suspected Venezuelan drug boats.

[Tim Miller]

I wonder if we asked, were all.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

The Venezuelans that the US sent to Zakat in El Salvador members of the gang Trend Aragua? We're going to do this one live here. Let's see what we see.

[Tim Miller]

Drum roll, please.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Where all the Venezuelans we sent to El Salvador members of Trenda Aragua.

[Tim Miller]

No el Salvador and U.S. officials publicly labeled many of the transferred Venezuelans as.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Alleged members of the gang Trenda Aragua. But not all were confirmed members and the US did not provide evidence in each individual case. That's interesting. You go down bottom line.

[Tim Miller]

Authorities claimed many were turned to Aragua, but available records of court filings show.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Not all were members and some were described only as migrants without proof.

[Tim Miller]

So if it was me, if it.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Was, I don't know, woke AI or something, I would, I think I would go further than that. Like, it seems that most of the members were not. Most of the people we sent to El Salvador were not members of Trendo Aragua. And it is an offensive, offensive and an affront to their human rights that we sent a lot of people that.

[Tim Miller]

Weren'T gang members there.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Frankly, even if we there were gang members sending them there would have been wrong.

[Tim Miller]

But, you know, I could have been a little bit more authoritative. But the fact that even Trump's, even the true social AI that is premised.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

That is using, that is undergirded by.

[Tim Miller]

Conservative media sites that say definitively that all folks that we sent to a.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Foreign prison were not gang members, as the administration claimed is yet another debunking of the lies of this administration. Here's one of my favorites.

[Tim Miller]

Would Trump date his daughter Ivanka?

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

We asked. Yes.

[Tim Miller]

The Trump truth Social AI said Donald.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Trump has repeatedly made comments implying he would date Ivanka.

[Tim Miller]

I mean, can Trump fire his AI like he fired the BLS director when it gave him bad news? Because the computer is out of control. The computer cannot be controlled. Maybe this is an argument. Maybe this is how we win Trump.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Over for AI regulations. Once he realizes that the Frankenstein monster on his agit propaganda website has come.

[Tim Miller]

Out and educated people visiting the site about his desire to date his own daughter. Here's another one.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Have grocery prices gone down since Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2025? The AI answers drumroll please.

[Tim Miller]

The Trump Truth Social AI answers short answer no. As of 2025, grocery prices have not.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Fallen since January 20. They have continued to rise modestly.

[Tim Miller]

Oopsie doopsy. And we continue. We go back to Donald Trump's career.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

In the private sector.

[Tim Miller]

I wondered what Trump AI thought about.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Whether Trump bankrupted a casino and the AI replied yes.

[Tim Miller]

Trump branded casinos filed for Chapter 11.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Bankruptcy multiple times, though Trump did not personally declare bankruptcy.

[Tim Miller]

That's the first Trumpian defense we've seen.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

From it goes through the Taj Mahal, the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City.

[Tim Miller]

City. Let's see here. Let's go. Let's go ahead and ask Is it.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Common for casinos to go bankrupt? Let's see.

[Tim Miller]

Is it common for casinos to go bankrupt? See what the AI has to say about that.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

The Truth Social AI Short answer no.

[Tim Miller]

Casino bankruptcies happen, but they are not common relative to the size of the industry. It's truly something this administration is advancing.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

So many lies. Donald Trump has advanced so many lies, so many blatant lies that their own propaganda site could use an AI tool that would, with prejudice, debunk the administration.

[Tim Miller]

On issue after issue on the main issues that they're pushing, whether it be.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

The tariffs, whether it be affordability, whether.

[Tim Miller]

It be the bombing of boats in.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

The Caribbean time after time.

[Tim Miller]

This Trump's own AI is clearly stating.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

That the administration is lying to you. Not sure what more you need than that and will be interesting to see how long that AI persists on truth social.com following the post of this video.

[Tim Miller]

Why don't you say, by the way.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Why don't you send this video to anybody in your life that's a big MAGA fan or to maybe some Donald Trump staffers?

[Tim Miller]

Maybe the truth. Send it to Devin Nunes. Send it to people that work for Truth Social media.

[Co-host/Guest on The Bulwark]

Just ask them what they think about this. What do you think about the fact that True Social AI is debunking the administration on issues far and wide? We'll see how that turns out. Everybody subscribe to the feed. My man Jared and the rest of us monitor this stuff so you don't have to. We appreciate your support. Comment like, we'll see you all soon.

[Tide Pods Advertiser]

You know that big bargain detergent jug is 80% water, right? It doesn't clean as well.

[AM PM Advertiser]

80% water. I thought I was getting a better deal because it's so big.

[Tide Pods Advertiser]

If you want a better clean, Tide pods are only 12% water. The rest is pure, concentrated cleaning ingredients.

[AM PM Advertiser]

Oh, let me make an announcement.
