Donald Trump Shares AI-Generated Photo of Robert De Niro Wearing Pro-Trump Shirt
President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated photo of actor Robert De Niro holding a pro-Trump shirt. De Niro, a fierce critic of Trump, has recently called for public protests against the current administration.
AI-Generated Image Sparks New Clash
U.S. President Donald Trump shared an image on his social media platform, TRUTH, showing 83-year-old Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro holding a red T-shirt that reads "Trump is my President." Trump captioned the post with a mocking remark:
"Even this fool is starting to get it!"
However, the image is highly likely an artificial intelligence generation. De Niro has been one of the most vocal and prominent celebrity critics of Trump for nearly a decade, making any genuine endorsement impossible.
A Decade of Public Feuds
The bitter rivalry between the two public figures has featured numerous personal attacks over the years. In March 2024, Trump claimed De Niro suffered from a "terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome," calling him a "silly guy" and a "low IQ individual."
Two months later, Trump attacked him again, calling De Niro "crazy" and describing him as "small, both mentally and physically."
De Niro has been equally unsparing. During the 2016 election campaign, he released a video calling Trump a "pig," a "punk," and a "bullshit artist," famously stating:
"I'd like to punch him in the face."
In a 2019 interview with The Guardian, De Niro remarked that he "couldn't wait to see him in jail," later adding that Trump is "too stupid to realize that he is evil."
Continued Opposition After Trump's Return
De Niro's public opposition did not soften following Trump's return to the White House. In May 2024, the actor appeared outside a Manhattan courthouse during a Joe Biden campaign event, calling Trump a "clown" and warning against his return to power.
On February 24, 2026, De Niro attended an event in Washington held in parallel with the State of the Union address. In a video interview, he expressed deep disillusionment:
"I feel betrayed by my country."
He urged citizens committed to the Constitution and the rule of law to be ready to take to the streets.
In June 2026, during a CNN interview, De Niro compared loving the country under the current administration to an abused partner staying with their abuser. By August 2026, he declared:
"I don't even use the word 'hope' anymore with this administration. We need to get them out of there."
This latest AI-generated post marks another chapter in the ongoing personal and political feud between the president and the Hollywood star.
