President Trump Shares AI-Generated Video Targeting Political Critics
川普總統分享 AI 生成影片 針對政治批評者
Introduction
President Donald Trump has posted a synthetic video on Truth Social showing himself as a doctor treating celebrities for a psychological condition.
川普總統在 Truth Social 上貼了一段合成影片，影片中他扮演一名醫生，為名人治療一種心理疾病。
Main Body
The video, shared by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino Jr., uses artificial intelligence to look like a medical advertisement. In the clip, the President acts as 'Dr. Trump' and suggests a cure for 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' (TDS). This is a negative term used by his administration to describe people who react strongly against the President's behavior. The video features AI versions of famous people, such as Robert De Niro and Whoopi Goldberg, showing them as patients. The suggested treatment includes stopping the consumption of 'fake news,' practicing religion, and drinking Diet Coke.
這段影片由白宮副幕僚長 Dan Scavino Jr. 分享，利用人工智慧使其看起來像醫療廣告。在片段中，總統扮演「川普醫生」，並提出治療「川普失控症」（TDS）的方法。這是他的政府用來形容對總統行為反應強烈的人的負面術語。影片中還出現了 AI 版本的名人，例如羅伯特·狄尼路和 Whoopi Goldberg，將他們呈現為病人。建議的治療方案包括停止消費「假新聞」、信仰宗教以及飲用 Diet Coke。
This video is part of a long history of conflict between the President and these celebrities. For example, he and Rosie O'Donnell have been hostile toward each other since 2006, while Robert De Niro has often called the President a threat to democracy. Other critics, like John Leguizamo and Edward Norton, have criticized his immigration policies and institutional leadership. In response, the President has often used personal insults, such as questioning De Niro's intelligence or calling Goldberg 'filthy.'
這段影片是總統與這些名人長期衝突的一部分。例如，他與 Rosie O'Donnell 自 2006 年起就互相敵視，而羅伯特·狄尼路則經常稱總統為民主的威脅。其他批評者如 John Leguizamo 和 Edward Norton，則批評其移民政策和體制領導能力。作為回應，總統經常使用人身攻擊，例如質疑狄尼路的智力，或稱 Goldberg 「骯髒」。
Furthermore, this is not the first time the President has used synthetic media. Previously, he shared an AI image that some people thought looked like Jesus, although he claimed it showed a Red Cross worker. That image was criticized by many, including his own supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, for religious reasons. This latest use of deepfake technology happens while the entertainment industry is trying to pass laws to stop the unauthorized use of a person's image.
此外，這並非總統首次使用合成媒體。此前，他分享了一張 AI 圖像，有些人認為看起來像耶穌，儘管他聲稱那是紅十字會工作人員。該圖像因宗教原因受到許多人的批評，包括他的支持者 Marjorie Taylor Greene。此次使用深偽（deepfake）技術之際，娛樂業正試圖通過法律來停止未經授權使用個人影像的行為。
Conclusion
The President continues to use AI-generated content to mock his political opponents while lawmakers debate how to regulate synthetic media.
在立法者辯論如何監管合成媒體之際，總統繼續使用 AI 生成內容來嘲諷他的政治對手。
