Donald Trump has posted a bizarre AI video to social media, where he’s ‘diagnosing’ a number of famous faces with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.
The US President, 80, took aim at a number of celebrities in the clip, which was made using artificial intelligence.
In the video, which was posted to Truth Social on Thursday (2 July), Trump is wearing a doctor’s outfit as he asks: “Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS?
“The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I’m Doctor Trump, and I have a treatment plan.”

For those who are unfamiliar, ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is essentially a derogatory term for those who have negative opinions about the Republican leader.
The Republican leader then asks if viewers want to hear from his ‘patients,’ before the AI-video cuts to fake versions of celebs who have publicly opposed him in the past, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts, John Leguizamo, Edward Norton, and Rosie O’Donnell.
They go on to describe their ‘symptoms,’ with AI Roberts saying: “I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the last two years,” and fake De Niro adding: “I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, constantly angry. I made everyone miserable around me.”
“I have been suffering for over a decade,” says the version of O’Donnell, “and after listening to Dr Trump, I can see some results.”
While AI Goldberg said, “I really thought I was a lost cause and this was gonna affect me for the rest of my life.”
The strange video then cuts back to AI doctor Trump, who says: “I really wasn’t sure I could help some of these people. They were so far gone, I wasn’t really sure.”
He adds, “The treatment is simple. 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.”
Reacting to the video on X, one user wrote: “This is unhinged. Donald Trump posted AI slop showing himself as a doctor treating celebrities with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.”
While a second angrily added, “Trump just disgustingly posted this AI video, which uses the likeness and voices of multiple celebrities to defame them. I pray to God that every one of these celebrities sue Trump.”
A third brutally wrote: “Trump uses AI to say these people are so far gone and proves how far gone he is.”
And a fourth agreed: “Using AI to put words in real people's mouths isn't free speech it's manufactured deception. If your message is strong, you shouldn't need fake videos to sell it.”
White House Spokesman, Davis Ingle, said: “President Trump is right. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a crippling disease that has unfortunately rotted the brains of many people."
