Donald Trump released a baffling AI-generated video of him curing celebrities of "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Deepfakes of stars such as Julia Roberts, Whoopi Goldberg and Robert De Niro are featured, lamenting of their fake symptoms.
"The treatment is simple: Turn off fake news, say your prayers and if you ever feel anxious, just have a Diet Coke," AI Trump declares in the clip.
Donald Trump's latest AI video might be his strangest yet.
In an AI- generated video uploaded to Truth Social minutes before midnight on Wednesday evening, Trump is dressed as a doctor, curing celebrities suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
"Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS?" Trump asks at the start of the clip, which features soft piano music playing in the background. "The symptoms can be relentless."
"Fortunately, I'm Dr. Trump, and I have a treatment plan." He then turns to some of his "patients," which happen to be some of his biggest critics in Hollywood.
Jarring AI versions of Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo, Edward Norton, Julia Roberts, and Robert De Niro talk through their TDS "symptoms" in the video.
“I have been suffering for over a decade, and after listening to Dr. Trump, I can see some results," the deepfake O'Donnell, who left the country after Trump was elected in 2024, says. AI Leguizamo meanwhile, says he didn't believe there was help out there for him.

"I really thought I was a lost cause and that this was gonna affect me for the rest of my life," an AI version of Goldberg laments. "But after using the treatment plan, I can see a difference."
Deepfake Norton admits that he didn't realize how much it was affecting his life, slowing down his work.

"I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, constantly angry, I made everyone miserable around me," fake De Niro says of his symptoms. AI Roberts claims to have aged "20 years in the past two years" from Trump Derangement Syndrome. "I was really starting to worry about my future."
AI Trump has a solution. "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 are going to see a remarkable difference in your life," the video concludes.

In response to the video shared by Trump, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle tells Entertainment Weekly via email: "President Trump is right. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a crippling disease that has unfortunately rotted the brains of many people."
Entertainment Weekly has contacted reps for Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo, Edward Norton, Julia Roberts, and Robert De Niro, and have not received an immediate response.

Months before posting this Dr. Trump video, the president shared an image on Truth Social of him appearing as a religious figure, perhaps Jesus, healing a man. When asked about the image, Trump told reporters, "I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor."
He added that he thought the picture "had to do with Red Cross," since there was a worker depicted. "Only the fake news could come up with that one," Trump said.
"I just heard about it and I said, 'How did they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better."
