What will Trump say this week?
Kalshi prices this Barack Hussein Obama at 99%. The reporting broadly agrees.
Donald Trump has amplified his repeated claim that critics suffer from "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or "TDS," by posting an AI-generated video that portrays him as a doctor treating various public figures for the condition. The video, widely reported by outlets including The Guardian and Variety, features AI-rendered images of celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, and Julia Roberts, all seemingly afflicted with "TDS." This public assertion comes as a prediction market is tracking whether Trump will explicitly state "TDS" or a related phrase before July 20, 2026. The market currently shows an overwhelming probability that he will, with 99% reflecting this expectation.
Background
