Former President Donald Trump has come under fire after posting an AI-generated video depicting Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents — a move critics are calling bizarre and politically provocative.
The video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social platform on July 20, shows a digitally altered version of former President Obama being taken into custody in the Oval Office. The clip begins with various U.S. leaders, including Obama and President Joe Biden, stating that “no one is
above the law,” before cutting to a dramatic scene where Obama appears confused as FBI agents storm into the White House and arrest him. The AI animation ends with Obama pacing inside a jail cell while the Village People’s “YMCA” plays in the background.
The post appears to be a response to a recent interview with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who accused Obama of orchestrating a “years-long coup” to prevent Trump from taking office after the 2016 election.
