  • Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video portraying him as a doctor treating celebrities for "Anti-Trump Delusion Syndrome" (TDS).
  • The video features AI-generated likenesses of celebrities like Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts describing their "symptoms."
  • Trump suggests treatments include turning off "fake news," praying, and drinking Diet Coke.

U.S. President Donald Trump has released an artificial intelligence-generated video where he appears as a doctor diagnosing celebrities with "Anti-Trump Delusion Syndrome" (TDS), a condition he claims affects his staunchest critics. In the minute-and-a-half video, Trump, dressed in a doctor's coat, introduces the fabricated syndrome and its supposed symptoms. The video then shows AI-generated versions of celebrities such as Rosie Oโ€™Donnell, John Leguizamo, Whoopi Goldberg, Edward Norton, Robert De Niro, and Julia Roberts describing their "symptoms." An AI Julia Roberts states she feels she has aged 20 years and is worried about her future, while an AI Robert De Niro claims he barely recognizes himself and made everyone around him miserable. Trump proposes a "simple" treatment: "Turn off the fake news, pray, and if you ever feel anxious, have a Diet Coke like I do, and you'll see a noticeable difference in your life." Trump has previously used the invented TDS diagnosis against critics, including singer Bruce Springsteen, whom he called "horribly and incurably ill" with TDS. He also labeled actor Robert De Niro "sick and demented" after the actor suggested "getting rid of" the president. This is not the first time Trump has employed AI on social media against detractors. In April, he posted an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ during a dispute with Pope Francis, later claiming he thought he was represented as a Red Cross doctor.

Do you or someone you know have TDS? The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I'm Dr. Trump and I have a treatment plan. Let's hear what some of my patients have to say.
