Donald Trump Posts AI Video of Himself as a “Doctor” Treating Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell & More for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Donald Trump has posted a new AI-generated video on his social media platform Truth Social, where he appears as a fictional doctor treating what he calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The video was shared late Wednesday night ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend. In it, Trump is shown as “Dr. Trump,” speaking in a style similar to a medical advertisement. He claims to offer a “treatment plan” for people who he says suffer from the so-called condition.
The clip quickly moves into AI-generated testimonials from several well-known celebrities, including Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell, Julia Roberts, John Leguizamo, and Edward Norton. The celebrities appear in fake video form describing symptoms tied to “TDS,” which is not a real medical condition.
In the AI version of Rosie O’Donnell, the character says, “I have been suffering for over a decade and after listening to Dr. Trump, I can see some results.” An AI-generated Robert De Niro says, “I had no idea how much this was affecting my life. My work has slowed down. I’m hardly recognizable anymore. I just needed help. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. Constantly angry. I made everyone miserable around me.”
A digital version of Julia Roberts also appears, saying, “I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the last two years,” while expressing concern about her future. The video ends with “Dr. Trump” offering a simple solution for the fictional condition. According to the clip, the “cure” includes turning off news outlets he disagrees with, praying, and drinking Diet Coke. In the video’s closing line, he says, “Turn off fake news. Say your prayers and, if you ever feel anxious, just have a Diet Coke like me and you’re gonna see a remarkable difference in your life.”
The post is the latest example of Trump using AI-generated content on social media. In recent months, he has shared multiple AI-created images and videos, including portrayals of himself as a religious figure, a superhero, and even fictional political scenarios involving public figures.
The White House has previously defended some of these posts as satire, though others have been removed after public backlash. Trump himself has often stood by the content, saying he shares posts quickly and does not always review every detail.
The “Dr. Trump” video continues a pattern of politically charged and digitally altered content featuring public figures. The inclusion of recognizable celebrities in AI form has added to the attention the post is receiving online.
The video remains available on Trump’s Truth Social account, where it continues to circulate and draw reactions from supporters and critics alike.
