Trump Posts AI Deepfake of 7 Celebrity Critics as No Fakes Act Advances

Summary
Truth Social carried an AI-made video showing Donald Trump as a doctor treating Rosie O’Donnell, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts and other celebrity critics for “Trump derangement syndrome.”
In the clip, the fake Trump offers a “treatment plan,” while deepfaked celebrities describe anger and misery before praising his advice to turn off “fake news” and drink Diet Coke.
The post lands as Hollywood presses for tighter deepfake limits and the bipartisan No Fakes Act cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee last month.
That bill would let people control digital replicas of their voice and likeness, but Trump’s video would likely fall under carve-outs for parody, commentary and other protected uses.
The measure already has backing from entertainment unions, studios, record labels, OpenAI, Google/YouTube and the White House as part of a broader AI framework.
