Donald Trump plays ‘Dr. Trump Says ‘Turn Off Fake News, Drink Diet Coke’ In Viral AI Video | Today’s news
US President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated video on his social media platform Truth Social depicting himself as “Dr Trump” prescribing a satirical treatment for what he calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS), a phrase he often uses to mock his political opponents and critics.
According to FLIGHTTrump released the 90-second video on Thursday, sandwiching it between two official videos highlighting his administration’s achievements and the newly acquired presidential jet from Qatar. In the clip, the US president appears in a white lab coat, introduces himself as “Dr Trump” and presents a bogus treatment plan for people allegedly suffering from TDS.
The video opens with Trump saying, “Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with 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.” It will then be reduced to AI-generated versions of several prominent public figures who have criticized Trump over the years. According to ANI, they include actors Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts, Edward Norton and John Leguizamo, as well as TV personalities Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell, all of whom seem to approve of the fictional treatment.
One AI-generated “patient” says, “I’ve been suffering for over a decade. And after listening to Dr. Trump, I’m seeing some results. Man, I’ve been suffering for years.” The clip ends with Trump’s mock prescription: “The cure is simple. Turn off the fake news. Say your prayers. And if you ever feel anxious, have a Diet Coke like I did and see a remarkable difference in your life.”

The clip then cuts to AI-generated versions of several well-known public figures who have publicly criticized Trump over the years. Among the digitally created avatars are actors Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts, Edward Norton and John Leguizamo, along with TV personalities Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell, according to ANI.
One of the AI-generated “patients” says, “I’ve been suffering for over a decade. And after listening to Dr. Trump, I’m seeing some results. Man, I’ve been suffering for years.” The video ends with Trump offering the AI-generated what he jokingly describes as medicine. “The cure is simple. Turn off the fake news. Say your prayers. And if you ever feel anxious, have a Diet Coke like I did and you’ll see a remarkable difference in your life,” she says.
Part of Trump’s growing use of AI-generated content
According to FLIGHTthe latest post is part of a growing series of AI-generated images and videos Trump has shared over the past few months, many of which have sparked widespread discussion online. One of the most discussed posts featured an AI-generated image showing Trump alongside Pope Leo XIV during a period of public spat between the two. After criticism, the image was removed from Truth Social.
However, ANI reported that Trump later shared another AI-generated image of him hugging the Pope against the backdrop of an American flag. The “Dr Trump” video is the latest example of the US president using AI-generated content in his online news, mixing political satire with digital manipulation. The growing use of such content by political leaders has also fueled broader conversations about the role of artificial intelligence, disinformation and authenticity in political communication.
