Heading into the July 4 long weekend, President Donald Trump shared a late-night social media post slamming some his biggest celebrity critics as suffering from the imaginary “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
In an AI video posted on Trump’s Truth Social account just before midnight Wednesday, the president is dressed as “Dr. Trump” and, in the soothing tones of a pharmaceutical ad, he claims to “have a treatment plan” for those suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The clip then presents fake testimonials from Rosie O’Donnell, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg and Robert De Niro who describe their “TDS” symptoms. Also featured as purported TDS suffers are AI-generated versions of Julia Roberts, John Leguizamo and Edward Norton.
Trump appears to believe that “TDS” is a real medical condition, saying at a May event at the White House that “I’m hearing it is actually a disease” (via Mediaite).
After Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were murdered last December, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that the director and actor had died “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.”
