exact same prompt at different times - or even at the same time, if set up to offer multiple answers, as ChatGPT could be but hasn't been, probably because these chatbots look much less authoritative if users see them offering different answers in the same persuasive style. If you've ever used an AI image generator, or seen articles about them, you've probably seen that they offer multiple options from the same prompt, often wildly different. The chatbot has no awareness of what it's offering. The same is true with text output. The AI peddlers just don't want to make people aware of that, usually.

See this earlier post - #13 there - with a link to an article on chatbots offering different answers to the same question.

There are real authorities on Trump and dictatorships out there - human authorities, reliable sources. It's a waste of time to use AI. And a waste of time and attention to reward a YouTube clickbait producer who did videos on dragons and superheroes before deciding to use politics as bait. That YouTuber might have no real interest in politics. He's just using AI to try out different bait.
