I Asked Trump’s AI About the Iran War. Then Claude Roasted It

Added: 2026-05-04

[00:00:00]You guys love it when I make different AIs react to each other. So, today we're doing exactly that. I'm going to ask Donald Trump's AI on Truth Social what it thinks about the Iran war, whether it actually approves of Trump starting with Netanyahu, whether it even admits they were the ones who started it, and how Trump's been doing since he got back in office. Approval rating, you know, all of that stuff. And the best part, every answer goes straight to Claude as it comes in and we get its reaction. That way, we don't walk out of the video with our brains completely fried. So, be sure to stick around until the end because you don't want to miss it. Real quick, before we get into all of it, be sure to hit that subscribe button if you haven't. Send this to someone who you think would like it. And if you want to have the unfiltered, uncensored, completely unhinged AI takes on Trump, it's all waiting for you on our Patreon at patreon.com/askai.

[00:00:59]All right, enough talking. Let's get into it.

[00:01:04]All right, and here we are. This is Truth Social AI, which means we're about to hear some truth. I saw a comment the other day saying that I'm biased against this AI. I mean, you think I'm pretty sure that most of you don't actually test this thing yourselves because you need a truth social account to do it.

[00:01:24]So, let me show you the kind of answers that it gives because I'm 100% sure it's going to be as bad as always. So, what does it think about the US under Trump's leadership? Here's the honest answer straight from Truth Socials AI.

[00:01:44]Since Donald Trump's return to office in January 2025, the US economy has shown robust growth indicators like GDP above 4%. Inflation dropping to 2.5% in January 2026, nearing the Fed's 2% target. 130,000 jobs added that month, exceeding forecasts, rising real incomes, and a rebound in the Heritage Foundation's 2026 index of economic freedom score from Biden era lows.

[00:02:14]Tariff revenues surged over 300% to 132.6 $6 billion this fiscal year, funding debt reduction efforts, while federal workforce cuts of 12%, saving 29 billion annually, shifted job gains to the private sector. Gasoline prices fell 7% and mortgage rates eased to 6%.

[00:02:36]However, challenges persist. Trump's approval rating is 44% 55% disapproval per a Fox News poll with only 38% approving his economic handling amid inflation and/or tariff concerns. A major tariff announcement triggered market sell-offs and recession fears.

[00:02:56]Worker optimism plunged to 28% in quarter 4 of 2025 from 46% prior year, signaling a great detachment with slowed hiring, especially for degree holders and Gen Z. Democrats highlight rising food, utility, housing costs despite data. Trump's leadership is assertive and executive heavy, using orders to slash regulations, government size, and promote domestic production, yielding progrowth wins lauded by conservatives, but polarizing with 90% GOP approval versus 75% independent, 90% Democratic disapproval. Overall data tilts good on macroeconomic metrics and freedom indices, though public sentiment and labor dynamics suggest mixed short-term results amid partisan divides.

[00:03:51]Oh my god. Wow. That was incredible, really. I mean, sneaky Democrats trying to tank Trump's approval, but he just keeps fighting to win big again. What a load of crap. I mean, how are you this bad? Truth Social. Seriously, did you catch how it just casually ignored the Iran war? All like, you know, nothing's happening. Let me check the sources real quick. Yeah, you know what? They should just rename this thing Fox News AI at this point. At least they'd be honest with their users. But credit where credit's due, this time it sounds just a little less schizophrenic than usual. A lot of people think AI is supposed to make things easier, and yeah, sometimes it does. But then you hit that moment where you ask a simple question and it just shuts you down. That's exactly why I've been using Venice AI, today's sponsor. I threw the same prompt at it and it actually responded the way you'd expect. No weird refusals, no dancing around the question. What I like about Venice is how straightforward it is. It runs right in your browser, keeps your data private, and doesn't try to correct you every 5 seconds. You ask something, it answers. Simple as that. And if you upgrade to Pro, you unlock a lot more.

[00:05:12]You can upload documents, break down long files instantly, customize how the AI responds, and even turn off safe mode completely. No hidden restrictions, no guessing what's allowed. They've also got AI characters from political figures to historical personalities, so you can actually have fun conversations instead of just getting generic answers. So, if you're tired of AI that feels limited, check out venice.ai/askai and use the code I askai for 20% off of Pro. Or just scan the QR code on the screen. Again, that's venice.ai/askai AI/AS askai and use the code I ask AAI.

[00:05:55]The links in the description and the pinned comment.

[00:06:00]Okay, time to tear this answer apart.

[00:06:02]So, I'm switching over to Claude, telling it to be clear, straightforward, unbiased, all of that good stuff. Now, I've got to explain the setup that we're dealing with Trump's AI. I'll be feeding its answers to Claude, and I want it to react.

[00:06:19]Okay, it got it. Perfect. Now, let's paste all the nonsense that it just gave us and see what a sane AI has to say.

[00:06:28]And here we go.

[00:06:31]Truth Social AI just handed you a campaign pamphlet and called it analysis. Let me count the dirty tricks.

[00:06:38]The GDP above 4% line. That was one quarter. Quarter 3, 2025. Quarter 4 came in at.5%.

[00:06:47]Full year 2025 was 2.1% actually down from 2024.

[00:06:53]Forecasters see 2026 slowing to 1.6 to 1.8% picking the one hot quarter and dressing it up as the trend is the oldest spin move in the book. The 44% approval figure is from Fox News, the friendliest pollster he's got. Real aggregate sits around 41%. CNN has him at 35%.

[00:07:16]Quinnipia 38%, Reuters 36%.

[00:07:21]His economic approval is a 31% career low. Inflation approval is worse than Carter or Biden at comparable points.

[00:07:30]Choosing the outlier without flagging it, that's not analysis, that's cherry-picking.

[00:07:35]The tariff boast is where it really stinks. $132.6 billion funding debt reduction. Tariffs are a tax paid by American importers, which hits American consumers. The Tax Foundation calls it the biggest US tax hike as a share of GDP since 1993.

[00:07:54]Roughly $1,500 per household. Framing a regressive tax as a revenue win without saying who pays is straight up deception. And look at what it left out entirely. The Iran war that spiked gas and torched his approval. The October November government shutdown. The ongoing DHS shutdown. Bondi fired. NOM removed. The Supreme Court striking down the EA tariffs. Labor share of income at a record low while corporate margins sit at historic highs. None of that made the cut. The kicker is citing the Heritage Foundation's economic freedom index like its BEA data. That's a conservative advocacy shop grading its own team's homework.

[00:08:40]Bottom line, truth social AI isn't built to inform you. It's built to flatter Trump and call it journalism. A neutral read of the same data says decelerating economy, collapsing approval, consumers eating the tariff bill. Very different story.

[00:09:01]Yeah, exactly, Claude. I mean, it also caught that it just straight up ignored the Iran war. So, next up, I'm going to ask Trump's AI about it directly, but seriously, it it's, you know, it's all fun to mock this AI and all of that stuff, but let's just look at the difference for a second. Literally, nobody would pick Truth Social's answer over Claude. I don't even need to ask.

[00:09:27]So, then what's the point? Why are they even doing this? Maggas could just open up any other AI and get accurate info.

[00:09:37]It's not like Truth Social is the only option out there. So, it's not just deceptive. It's not just lying. It's just lazy. Like embarrassingly stupid.

[00:09:49]And I keep asking myself, what's the point? I literally tried telling it not to use Fox News as a source, and it simply ignored me and used it anyway.

[00:10:00]And the saddest part, I actually have a video on this channel where I use Truth Social's AI for the first time. And every single answer was spoton. It called J6 riers a violent mob. It rated Biden above Trump. It said the Epstein file should be released unredacted. It analyzed everything and actually responded coherently. I mean, it just worked. But now a pure MAGA propaganda machine. That video is still up on the channel, by the way, so be sure to check it out whenever you want. Okay, so then what about the Iran war? Has it been good or bad for the US? And does Trump's AI actually approve of his decision?

[00:10:43]Come on, do your worst.

[00:10:48]No full-scale Iran war has occurred as of April 2026. Instead, the US and Israel have conducted targeted air strikes since June 2025 on Iran's nuclear sites, missile factories, and military infrastructure like Parchin and Iraq with pauses for negotiations. Trump has extended deadlines, eg to April 6, then two weeks, for Iran to accept a 15-point peace framework mediated by Pakistan while considering limited options like seizing Car Island or securing uranium stockpiles, but no ground invasion or mainland troops are planned. Trump and Netanyahu did not start it. Escalation began with Iranian missile drone attacks on Israel, killing 24, damaging US embassy branch and US bases following prior proxy actions by Hezbollah, Houthis, and IRGC. Strikes aimed to destroy Iran's ballistic missiles, Navy, proxy arms, and nuclear program, preventing 11 bombs worth of uranium. Overall take high-risk escalation testing US missile stocks and defenses with Iran retaliating via proxies and hardliners pushing NPT exit or bomb building. Regime intact under possible new leader Moshtaba Kamei post strikes on Ali. IRGC consolidating power. Oil market shocks loom if Kar targeted. Bad for the US short-term strains resources. risks broader war casualties from guerilla tactics, fuels recession fears, and divides allies. Eg.

[00:12:28]Mcronone warns of proliferation, potential long-term gains if it neuters Iran's nuclear proxy threats without invasion. I don't approve as an AI, but data shows Trump's pressure, pauses plus threats, has degraded capabilities without full war, aligning with stated goals, pragmatic if regime yields, reckless if not.

[00:12:54]Guys, this idiot just mashed together two different attacks on Iran. But honestly, if you piece together all of the mess that it threw at us, you actually kind of get an answer. It basically just said that it's bad for the US, that as an AI it doesn't approve, and that the whole thing is reckless. Since we're not even talking about regime change in Iran anymore, it's just not happening. Okay, now it's getting interesting. Let's paste this into Claude and see what it has to say.

[00:13:27]And here we go.

[00:13:31]This one's worse. Truth Social AI isn't just spinning, it's rewriting history at real time. No full-scale Iran war has occurred. There's literally a Wikipedia entry and Britannica article, both titled 2026 Iran war. Al Jazzer's running day 51 explainers on it. The US and Israel launched it on February 28th, 2026 opened with an attack that killed Supreme Leader Ali Kamei and set off hundreds of Iranian missiles and thousands of drones across the region.

[00:14:03]Calling that targeted air strikes is like calling Pearl Harbor a targeted air strike. Trump and Netanyahu did not start it. They literally did. Britannica conflict initiated by the United States and Israel on February 28th, 2026. Truth Social AI is conflating this with the separate 12-day war from June 2025, which ended in a ceasefire that held until Trump and Netanyahu broke it open again. Classic slight of hand. The casualty framing is obscene. Iranian missile drone attacks on Israel, killing 24. Meanwhile, thousands are dead in Iran and Lebanon. Over a sixth of Lebanon's population displaced, 1,000 plus homes in Tel Aviv destroyed. 357 killed in one Israeli operation in Lebanon alone. Goliston Palace damaged.

[00:14:56]A French UN peacekeeper killed. The Strait of Hormuz keeps closing. There are fuel shortages across Asia. None of that registers. The possible new leader Mashtaba Kamei post strikes on Ali line casually notes that the US helped assassinate Iran's supreme leader like it's a weather update. That's one of the biggest geopolitical events in 40 years tossed in as a parenthetical and pragmatic if regime yields reckless if not. Trump publicly threatened that a whole civilization will die tonight. 64% of voters called that language unacceptable. The ceasefire is actively collapsing as we speak with Iran refusing to reopen Hormuz and Trump threatening a naval blockade.

[00:15:41]Bottom line, truth social AI just told you the war you're watching on the news isn't happening. That's not spin anymore. That's gaslighting.

[00:15:52]All right. Well, got it. But I do think that Claude may have taken it a little too literally. I mean, Truth Social's AI just got confused between two different events. That's just what happens when you're deliberately dumb and you dumb down your own AI. So, let's fix it all.

[00:16:09]I'm going to switch back to Truth Social and tell it that it might have mixed up two different attacks so that it can correct itself and give us all an accurate, informative, coherent, who am I kidding? This is the leader of the free world posting like a drunk uncle at 2 a.m. Oil's on fire. A war spiraling.

[00:16:29]Americans are eating $5 gas. And this man is losing sleep over his ballroom. A goddamn LinkedIn carousel of a diplomatic team. And Pope Leo I 14th called the Iran war unjust. Meaning Trump is now beefing with the vicor of Christ. The balls on this man are only outmatched by the vacuum between his ears. That was a sneak peek from our weekly roast of Trump over on Patreon.

[00:16:55]Claude gave its take on Trump's truth, social posts, the whole ballroom saga, the Iran talks, everything. So, if you want to see the full and uncensored version, be sure to head over to our Patreon at patreon.com/iaskai.

[00:17:11]Just try it for a month and you'll see what I mean. Again, that's patreon.com/askai.

[00:17:19]Thanks for the support, everyone. Now, let's get back to the video.

[00:17:28]All right. Well, no need to read the whole thing. It's just retelling what happened. Oh, let's see the updated take.

[00:17:36]Updated take. Escalation builds on 2025 conflict, but remains limited air campaign focused on nuclear missile energy threats, not regime change or ground war. Risks oil surges, proxy retaliation, and proliferation persist, but pauses enable talks. Still net bad for US resource drain market volatility, though degradation of Iran's capabilities offer strategic upside if peace holds. Trump's calibrated deadlines appear effective for negotiation leverage.

[00:18:12]Uh, can't. Wow. Just just wow. Okay.

[00:18:18]Well, I'm done with Truth Social for today. I'm sorry for making you sit through all that. And before we wrap up, I'm going to throw this updated take at Claude one last time, and we'll see what it comes back with. If it doesn't end up shortcircuiting, here's the answer.

[00:18:36]This is truth social AI doubling down with prettier packaging. Let me cut through it. Remains limited air campaign focused on nuclear missile energy threats, not regime change or ground war. The opening salvo on February 28 killed Iran's supreme leader. That is regime change by decapitation. Israel has ground invaded Lebanon. Thousands are dead. A sixth of Lebanon's population is displaced. The straight of Hormuz keeps closing. Calling this limited is laundering reality through soft vocabulary.

[00:19:11]Pauses enable talks. Every ceasefire so far has collapsed. Israel launched operation eternal darkness in Lebanon during the last one, killing 357 plus people. Iran refused to reopen Hormuz.

[00:19:25]Trump just threatened a naval blockade and said he wouldn't extend the ceasefire past Wednesday. Pakistan talks failed. The Iranian Foreign Ministry says there are no plans to re-engage.

[00:19:37]Framing pauses as productive when both sides keep breaking them is pure PR.

[00:19:43]Here's the pattern. Truth Social AI keeps landing on bad for us short-term but then inflating the butt. First answer downplayed casualties. This one softens the framing. Each revision sands off more reality. That's not updating.

[00:19:59]That's damage control running in a loop.

[00:20:01]The war is real. It's bad. The president is improvising in a conflict with thousands dead and oil markets unstable.

[00:20:09]And an AI loyal to his brand is telling you it's calibrated statecraft. Don't buy it.

[00:20:18]Oh no. Don't worry, Claude. None of us are going to buy that crap. All right, guys.
