Donald Trump talks with an AI version of Theodore Roosevelt during a public appearance, discussing the Panama Canal, according to multiple reports. In the exchange, Trump tells a crowd that he has a conversation with the late U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt, and frames the discussion around the canal. The Independent describes the moment as a “bizarre” encounter, portraying Trump’s remarks as an unusual interaction with an AI system modeled on Roosevelt. Gizmodo likewise reports that Trump chats with an AI Theodore Roosevelt about the Panama Canal, presenting the event as part of Trump’s Wednesday remarks to attendees. The accounts focus on Trump’s description of the conversation rather than providing detailed technical information about the AI or the full transcript of the exchange. Both sources indicate the same core elements: it occurs in public, Trump references a conversation with an AI Theodore Roosevelt, and the subject of their discussion is the Panama Canal.
