  • Trump accuses Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, and more of suffering “Trump Derangement Syndrome” in AI video

    The world of Hollywood and political commentary has recently taken an absurd turn, as former President Donald Trump has allegedly diagnosed several major stars with a unique affliction: Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    This bizarre diagnosis surfaced in a recently shared AI-generated video that played out like a pharmaceutical advertisement. In the clip, the US President appears as Dr Trump, dispensing treatment plans for his “patients,” who appear to be some of his most vocal critics.

    The lineup of patients included high-profile figures such as Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo, and Edward Norton.

    The video featured fake testimonials from these celebrities claiming relief after receiving Dr. Trump’s remedies. One AI-created testimonial attributed to a former critic of the President claimed that after listening to Dr. Trump, they saw “some results,” stating they had been suffering for over a decade.

    Another participant, an AI avatar of Whoopi Goldberg, expressed astonishment: “I really thought I was a lost cause; this was gonna affect me for the rest of my life. But after using the treatment plan, I can see a difference.”

    Other fictional patients detailed their suffering, describing feelings of anger, inability to sleep, and general misery caused by the alleged syndrome. For instance, an avatar of Robert De Niro claimed that he felt “constantly angry” and that he had made everyone around him miserable.

    When asked for a treatment plan for this imaginary condition, Dr. Trump advised his hypothetical patients with what he termed a “simple” regimen: “Turn off fake news, say your prayers, and if you ever feel anxious, just have a Diet Coke like me.”

    This pattern of attributing suffering to political figures is not new. In the past, Trump has made similar claims regarding his critics. Following the tragic deaths of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, he launched highly divisive rants, claiming their demise was due to “his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, or TDS.”

    The use of AI for political commentary is also a consistent theme. Earlier this year, Trump faced backlash for posting an AI video on Truth Social that depicted former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama as apes.

    Whoopi Goldberg was among those to strongly challenge the depiction, insisting that there were no apes in The Lion King and urging others to “check your facts.” She warned that making fun of people requires creating your own material and admitting it.

  • Edward Norton hung out with Brad Pitt at the USA vs Turkey World Cup match and everyone’s making the same joke

    The world of cinema and sports collided spectacularly at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, drawing massive attention not just to the on-field action, but to a surprisingly intimate moment shared by two major figures: Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.

    The celebrity pairing became an instant social media sensation when observers spotted the actors together in the stands at the USA’s group stage match against Turkey. What followed was an immediate, witty joke that resonated across digital platforms: a playful reference to their shared connection with one of cinema’s most enduring cult classics.

    Pitt arrived sporting a Team USA shirt and a white bucket hat, while Norton leaned into the mood by wearing a Radiohead T-shirt, setting a relaxed yet unmistakable tone for the evening.

    The true talking point, however, wasn’t just the celebrity presence; it was the unexpected cinematic synergy. The juxtaposition of Pitt and Norton immediately brought to mind David Fincher’s 1999 masterpiece, Fight Club. For many film aficionados, seeing these two stars together was more than just a casual sighting—it felt like a subtle nod to the complex, internal landscapes explored in Fincher’s work.

    The connection deepened when the shared moment fueled a viral gag. Users quickly seized on the idea that Norton’s demeanor during the match mirrored the film’s central theme: an actor seen as, or perhaps, talking to himself.

    This playful interpretation exploded online, with fans jokingly suggesting that Norton appeared to be lost in his own world, a feeling perfectly echoing the narrative of Fight Club, where the narrator delves into his own fractured psyche. The sight itself became the punchline for countless social media posts.

    The atmosphere at the World Cup was already star-studded, with other notable faces in attendance, including Will Ferrell, Kelly Rowland, and others.

    On the pitch, Turkey ultimately secured a dramatic victory over the USA with a stoppage-time winner, underscoring the high stakes of the global competition. Despite the sporting results, the real victory seemed to be in the shared, unexpected cultural moment created by these two celebrated actors, turning a simple stadium sighting into a pop culture phenomenon.
