Trump Posts AI Video as Doctor Curing Critics

Donald Trump posted an AI-generated social media video on Thursday, July 2, 2026, depicting himself as a doctor. In the video, he claims to have cured prominent celebrity critics, including Rosie O’Donnell, of a fictional condition termed "Trump derangement syndrome." This marks a new instance of the former president utilizing artificial intelligence for political messaging.

Rosie O’Donnell responded to the AI-generated content with a statement asserting her assessment of Trump remained unchanged. She offered her own diagnosis, stating, "He’s quite ill-and getting worse daily. The 25th amendment exists for exactly this reason. Remove. Impeach. Convict." O'Donnell's statement directly contrasts the narrative presented in Trump's AI video, highlighting ongoing public discourse surrounding his political commentary and mental fitness.

The AI video was shared on Trump's Truth Social account, a platform he frequently uses to communicate with his supporters. The use of AI technology in political campaigns and messaging continues to be a developing area, raising questions about authenticity and the spread of information. This particular post generated significant attention due to its direct targeting of well-known figures who have publicly opposed Trump.
