According to President Donald Trump, several Hollywood stars have been diagnosed with the fake “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Coincidentally, almost all of the celebrities that Trump is calling out in a recent AI video posted on his social media are outspoken critics of him. And it’s well known that Trump can get quite petty with those who don’t align with him and his political views.
The AI video (below), shared Wednesday night, featured the president dressed as “Dr. Trump” sharing his “treatment plan” for his “patients” who suffer from TDS. The video, which resembled a pharmaceutical ad, then played AI-generated clips of fake testimonials by Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo and Edward Norton.
“I have been suffering for over a decade and after listening to Dr. Trump, I can see some results,” a fake O’Donnell said. An AI-created Goldberg added, “I really thought I was a lost cause; this was gonna affect me for the rest of my life. But after using the treatment plan, I can see a difference.”
“I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep, constantly angry. I made everyone miserable around me,” the AI avatar of De Niro said, while the fake Roberts claimed, “I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the last 2 years. I’ve been so concerned. I was really starting to worry about my future.”
At the end of the video, Trump detailed his “simple” treatment plan for the imaginary TDS. “Turn off fake news, say your prayers, and if you ever feel anxious, just have a Diet Coke like me,” he said, “and you’re gonna see a remarkable difference in your life.”
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to reps for Roberts, De Niro, O’Donnell, Goldberg, Leguizamo and Norton for comment.
The president has long been posting AI-generated images and videos on his social media, many of which have been heavily criticized. Earlier this year, Trump was slammed for posting a since-deleted AI video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, as apes.
This also isn’t the first time he’s accused his critics of suffering from the Trump-created TDS. Following the deaths of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the president went on a rant about the couple for their progressive politics. He said their deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”
