President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday establishing America.gov, an AI-powered government portal through which users can access public services and search thousands of federal databases.

The order, “Streamlining access to government services through America.gov,” establishes the website and directs all agencies to integrate their public-facing services into the platform within 90 days.

Trump signed the order hours before he is set to meet with top AI executives in a lunch meeting at the White House.

It directs senior officials, including those at the National Design Studio, to establish the website as a single access point for Americans seeking federal government services such as passport replacement. NDS was created by an August 2025 executive order and is led by Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia.

“With America.gov the federal government no longer stands in your way, it only stands at your service” President Donald Trump said at an event announcing the website.

He added, “we’re simplifying it. We’re glamorizing it. We’re making it what it should be.”

The website says it is sourced from “official U.S. government resources” and prompts users to use the platform as a chatbot, asking questions about anything from applying for a passport to information about national parks.

Administration officials celebrated the launch, touting it as the start of a new relationship between the government and its people.

“We’ve become used to a government so big it makes the citizens feel very, very small,” Trump said. “But with America.gov, the entire U.S. government will fit in the plan.”

    Okay. I should take care of everything I need to before this goes live, I guess. It’s a useful heads up, but wow, can’t wait to see how this inevitably results in all US governmental services failing to work properly.

    The empire is truly run by fail children.

    90 days. These people are such unrepentant idiots. I bet they’ll complain that it’s government inefficiency when nobody ends up integrating with this in 90 days. I’m sure they already laid off half the software developers and website maintainers.

    I’m watching the 20 minute speech he gave to the press. Trump says that he’s going to sign a different executive order to rename ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Super Intelligence’, which he previously announced during his UNGA speech. Trump claims that Xi Jinping loved his idea to rename ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Super Intelligence’.

    Then he says that he’s going to rename ‘Fake News’ to ‘Artificial News’. This is Trump making a joke, but also he thinks that “artificial” means “fake”. I’m mad at myself that I didn’t post this joke yesterday because I knew he was going to say this. Yesterday I was thinking that ‘Artificial News of the United States’ would be ‘ANUS’. I didn’t post it because it sounded too silly.

        Trump didn’t say that. It was a thought I had when I commented on your post yesterday about predicting the Trump announcement. I’m mad that I didn’t post it.

        He did say the phrase “artificial news” and then he said CNN or something.

        Trump said that he talked with Xi Jinping about AI. Trump says “Why don’t we do it with China?”. Then he tries to explain that US will be the world-superpower if US wins the AI race, so the US can’t help anyone else.

        He talks about merging all other government websites into the chatbot.

        He implies that nobody should try to hack the US websites because the FBI would catch them.

        In the last couple minutes of the speech, Trump says that Iran is losing the war and that gas prices will soon plummet.

    Well maybe the incompetent LLM will fail to enforce anti-trans, racist, anti-immigrant and other class war policies.

    More likely it is a way to allow “fraud” by friendly “fraudsters” and conduct further theft.

    If I didn’t have such a hard stance against AI and the knowledge that what I say to that AI especially is not private I would be tempted to ask it questions about communism for fun
