Trump Misleads with AI Image of Robert De Niro as Supporter

In a recent post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump unveiled an AI-generated image that misleadingly depicts actor Robert De Niro as a supporter. The artwork showcases the acclaimed 83-year-old actor holding a shirt emblazoned with the words "TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT." Trump’s caption insinuated that De Niro has had a sudden change of heart, stating, "Even this jerk is beginning to get it."

De Niro, celebrated for his roles in iconic films like Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, has been one of Trump’s most vocal critics in Hollywood. Over the years, he has not held back his disdain for the former president, once calling him a “pig” and a “bulls*** artist” during the lead-up to the 2016 election. More recently, De Niro expressed his fears about Trump’s impact on the nation, declaring, "I can’t wait to see him in jail," and emphasizing the need to remove Trump from office to prevent further destruction.

Trump has reciprocated the animosity, previously disparaging De Niro on social media. In a post from 2024, he remarked, "I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was," while labeling him a victim of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” This latest instance of using AI-generated content to twist narratives highlights the ongoing feud between the two, as Trump continues to target critics from the entertainment industry.
