Trump Talks to AI Teddy Roosevelt During Presidential Library Visit

Trump’s remarks referred to a lifelike AI Roosevelt exhibit as he highlighted a 90-acre land transfer for the presidential library project.

  • On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, President Donald Trump toured the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, where he engaged in conversation with a lifelike AI replica of the 26th president.
  • Developed by Microsoft and LemonSlice, the 'Talk With TR' exhibit allows visitors to interact with the AI via a personalized RFID 'compass' wristband that relays name and age data to the system.
  • Trump questioned the AI about the Panama Canal, asking if it was his "greatest achievement," while claiming Democrats gave the waterway away for $1, a figure critics dispute according to Newsweek.
  • Historical records confirm President Jimmy Carter signed the 1977 treaty initiating the canal's phased handover, which concluded in 1999, contradicting Trump's assertion regarding a $1 transaction.
  • The library, which received $750,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities, opens to the public on Saturday, July 4, as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday.
