Trump shares an image post on Truth Social amid AI video spree
Trump the image-only post arrived days after the president circulated an AI-generated video casting himself as a doctor treating celebrity critics of “Trump derangement syndrome.”
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump has shared an image-only post on his Truth Social account on July 5, 2026 at 3:26 PM EST.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Truth Social post containing one image. Image analysis was unavailable.”
The post carried a single image and no text, and an automated analysis of the file returned an HTTP 403 error, leaving its contents unverified (see truthsocial). The president’s account remains one of the most-watched feeds in American politics, and his image posts frequently draw wide attention.
The post landed days after Trump leaned heavily on AI-generated content to needle his critics. Trump posted a roughly 90-second AI-generated video shortly before midnight portraying himself as a doctor in a white lab coat treating what he calls “Trump derangement syndrome” (see forbes.com). The clip featured deepfake versions of prominent critics, including Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O’Donnell, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts, Edward Norton and John Leguizamo, delivering fabricated endorsements before the fake Trump urged viewers to “turn off fake news” and “just have a Diet Coke like me” (see theguardian.com).
O’Donnell rejected the portrayal and said her view of the president was unchanged, calling for him to be removed from office (see theguardian.com). A White House spokesman defended the video as within Trump’s rights and described the syndrome as a “crippling disease” (see theguardian.com).
Trump has repeatedly courted controversy with such posts, including an image depicting himself as Jesus Christ during a feud with Pope Leo XIV that he later deleted after backlash (see forbes.com).
In the last 30 days, 129 of 527 Trump posts were on topic “Uncategorized.”
