I recently decided to test the limits of today’s AI heavyweights—ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek—with a deceptively simple question: Who is the most misleading and dishonest president in U.S. history? Several presidents told fewer lies—yet with far greater geopolitical impact:– Lyndon B. Johnson leveraged misleading claims around the Gulf of Tonkin incident to justify deepening U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Among the most prominent claims:– Ending conflicts: Trump asserted that he “ended seven wars,” despite ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. – Zero-cost wars: Trump argued that allies had already covered the financial burden of military operations, even as Pentagon figures showed a $22 billion shortfall in just two months. Fifth: Domestic Misinformation– Investment claims: Trump touted $17 trillion in investments, while verified figures place the number closer to $8.8 trillion.
