Trump Sparks Outrage With AI-Generated Video Showing Obama Arrested and Jailed
It’s long past time the public stops buying into the myth of a “scandal-free” administration and reckons with the truth: Obama’s presidency was anything but clean.
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama being arrested and thrown into prison. Needless to say, this move has sparked outrage from the Left.
The video opens with a clip of Obama declaring to a crowd, “No one, especially the president, is above the law.” The theme from Larry David’s hit show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, begins to play as a montage unfolds, featuring prominent Democrats — from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to New York Attorney General Letitia James — repeating the same message: “No one is above the law.”
The soundtrack shifts to the song “YMCA” as the scene cuts to the Oval Office, where Trump and Obama are seen chatting. Trump smiles as FBI agents suddenly surround Obama, arrest him, place him in handcuffs, and toss him into a jail cell. In the last scene, Obama is depicted behind bars dressed in an orange jumpsuit.
Trump has been going full 4Chan over on Truth Social.
He is sharing AI videos of Obama being arrested and thrown in prison.
Is Trump just trolling? Or is this soft disclosure?

A second post featured AI-generated mugshots of Obama and seven of his closest advisors with the caption, “How did Samantha Power make all of that money???”
This was a pointed jab at allegations that Power benefited financially from her tenure as administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Trump is clearly gloating over the release of more than 100 documents on Friday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which shed light on Obama’s role in manipulating and politicizing the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian interference in the 2016 election — an effort aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the incoming Trump administration.
And who can blame him? The manufactured ICA went far beyond dirty politics. It hamstrung the first two years of Trump’s presidency and arguably laid the groundwork for his first impeachment. It also sowed deep divisions among the American people and plunged the country into years of political turmoil, media hysteria, and mistrust in its institutions.
Democrats claim the release of these documents is merely a distraction from the so-called “scandal” surrounding the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.
But that narrative doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. The document release has been in the works for months.
In fact, even before the recent uproar over the Epstein files, CIA Director John Ratcliffe had already initiated a review of the ICA — a process that began back in May.
For all we know, Obama may ultimately be shielded from legal consequences by the recent Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” undertaken during their time in office. That decision could very well serve as a legal firewall against any serious accountability.
However, it’s important to note that this immunity does not extend to “private” or “personal” acts — those that fall outside the bounds of official presidential duties. Whether Obama’s alleged actions fall into that category is a question for the courts to decide, and as I’ve said before, I’m not a lawyer.
What is clear, though, is that the American public deserves the truth. For years, we were told that the Obama administration was scandal-free — a model of transparency and integrity. But as more documents emerge and scrutiny deepens, that carefully curated image is beginning to crack.
The mounting evidence makes it harder than ever to maintain the illusion that Obama’s presidency was beyond reproach. In reality, it appears to have been steeped in political manipulation, selective enforcement, and institutional overreach. It’s long past time the public stops buying into the myth of a “scandal-free” administration and reckons with the truth: Obama’s presidency was anything but clean.

Screw the Communists in their Pearl clutching after they weaponize the justice system for the last several years.
Outrage? really? After all the things people do to Trump, all the time, this is tame
Dems are getting a preview to their future, they know they are guilty as hell, and karma is coming home to roost. I love Trump’s style.
Obama is untouchable. His arrest would make the George Floyd riots look like a walk in the park. Every major city would be burning.
dramacrat bastions. Let them burn. Can you say urban renewal.
Let the stupid communists burn down their own cities. Why should we care?
That’s a nice deep-state you got there….
Be a shame if something happened to it….
A lot of older Americans are out of the internet loop so never saw the endless images of Trump and his daughter Ivanka in prison.
Anyone else however has no right to be outraged about seeing exactly the same image with Obama.
The message is not a threat of arrest but “Maybe you don’t want to side with this guy” directed to Obama fans. DIspersing the estrogen cloud that Obama has always lived in.
Progressives need to take their outrage and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Noticed in the Hollywood Squares pic everyone is in orange except for Barry,
I almost spit my beer out watching that video. It’s funny but pretty tame compared to Kathy Griffin holding up Trump’s severed head
I keep hoping someone will make a pic/video of Trump holding Griffin’s head. Turn about is fair play,
At least Obama will not have to worry about turning gay in prison.
The same people outraged by the quite funny video were moist and tingly at the thought of Trump being murdered.
So no, f88k them.
If you were to ask me how many felons I would we willing to set free in exchange for Obama finally being punished for his crimes against the Republic, my answer is *all of them*.
His single purpose in life is to destroy our nation. If you do not see this clearly, you are either with him or you’re blind. He’s the single most dangerous man in this country today and it’s not even close.
His entire existence is a lie, a fabrication. He’s is the Manchurian Candidate made flesh.
Wait till DOJ sends somebody to Hawaii to obtain Obama’s “real” birth certificate.
I know what you’re gonna say?
Name one thing about Obama that’s “real”.
Well, you got me there.
I’m mean enough to do exactly the opposite.
I would scoop up all the other people and leave Obama alone.
Like those scenes in the sword and sandal movies, where the new tyrant kills all of the family and friends of the old tyrant, and then leaves him homeless to wander.
Just a little reminder that no matter how hard you work in autopen, you can never work it hard enough to shield the guilty.
I agree with you. Prosecute everyone except 0bama.
Wouldn’t matter to Obamarama. The only person that narcissist cares about is himself.
Almost certainly trolling. Even if Trump decided to uphold the law and move towards prosecution of Obama and his regime there is an army of #Resistance Federal judges on call to toss sand in the gears of justice – and I believe he knows that. Not to mention the Communist media working to incite assassinations and terrorist attacks.
The US does not have equal justice under the law – and has not had it for a very long time.
Should The Zero go to jail for this? Probably. However, I doubt he’ll even be seriously investigated.
I’m not so sure we should go so far as to put a president in jail. Any president. Maybe not even a vice president since having that job is punishment enough.
If a president commits a crime, he must be tried, convicted, and sentenced just like anyone else. Otherwise he’s not a president, he’s a king.
Just be sure of your evidence and be able to explain it so everyone can understand what he did and why he’s in prison, and no one can say it’s all made up.
Here’s the thing… Trump is daring them to sue him for libel….
ahahahahahahaahhaahahahahahahahahahahaha
Prison would be too kind. Perhaps a few pounds of flesh shall stand as a deterrent.
You have to break eggs to make an omlette.
Obama would enjoy being a punk on the cellblock
Trump is likely doing this to deflect interest from the Jeffrey Epstein stories.
keep deflecting
Bob Seger described you in “Turn The Page:”
“You can listen to the engine moaning out it’s one-note song.”
Get a new schtick. This one is worn out.
Only someone who wasn’t paying attention could ever have swallowed the line that the 0bama administration was “scandal free”. Yeah, it was scandal free, except for all the scandals.
“Scandal free” meant that he didn’t charge for the scandals.
Anybody who expresses outrage at this needs to answer a particular question: “What did you say when the Obama DOJ manufactured false claims of Russian collusion on his way out of the office, or when the Biden DOJ launched a full investigation on the former President, seeking any way they could imprison and bankrupt him?”
The quote from A Man For All Seasons has never been more applicable.
“William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”
Yeah, that tired old argument may have worked when the standing law would protect you as faithfully as it protected the Devil. But those days are gone, my friend.
Not just here. In Germany, an AfD (think MAGA) representative and Bavarian grandma was just convicted of “doing a fascism.” A lefty ranting at one of her rallies threw Hitler salutes at her, holding two fingers of his other hand in the mustache position. This is an outright crime under German law. She videoed it and posted it on the Internet to denounce him. But — miracle of miracles — the lefty courts exonerated the lefty because he was “really” an “antifascist,” while grandma was convicted and fined under the same antifascism law of posting a video of this guy performing his action, which… turned out not to have been criminal in the first place, but let’s not bog ourselves down in such niceties.
And the beauty of all this is that as a parliamentary representative, she had immunity for such speech… which the parliament LIFTED precisely to be able to prosecute her.
Get that part? They “lifted her immunity.” What the f* is “immunity” that any assh* can lift when it suits him?
Yes, give the Devil the benefit of law, so he can turn around and kill you with it. Sucker.
Sedition is not an official act of the Office of President. Trying to destroy the incoming President and his Administration by falsehoods appears to me an act of Sedition under U.S. Code as someone pointed out elsewhere. I think that Presidential Immunity would not apply.
Let’s see where this goes in the DOJ. Sometimes the process is the punishment as the Obama/Biden junta proved.
Where’s the sedition here? And how do you define sedition anyway, without violating the constitution and making your law invalid?
I’d call it more like seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to attempt a coup. Whatever makes it easier to extend past the normal statute of limitations.
You define it the same way as the judges did who convicted all those J6 participants for seditious conspiracy. It wasn’t a hard job for them, they managed it. It was way easier than defining what a woman is.
Sauce, sauce, sauce.
Seditious conspiracy, like any criminal conspiracy, requires an underlying crime that the conspirators agreed to commit. In particular, seditious conspiracy requires an agreement:
1. to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or
2. to levy war against them, or
3. to oppose by force the authority thereof, or
4. by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or
5. by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.
As you see, force is a critical component of each of the five crimes that the conspirator must be found to have agreed to commit. And of course all five are crimes.
None of that seems to apply here. The conspirators here agreed at first to trick voters into not voting for Trump, and then once he had been elected to politically sabotage his presidency; none of what they agreed to do seems to be a crime, and none of it uses force.
Spreading false rumors about a candidate is protected speech and not a crime. So is making false or irrelevant accusations and demanding endless investigations of them. These are all politics, not crime. So I don’t see how you get seditious conspiracy.
The J6 protesters, on the other hand, were accused of attempting an actual coup. The minority who were accused of seditious conspiracy were accused of agreeing to use force, up to and including murder, to oust the elected incoming president and enthrone the outgoing president for a term to which he had not been elected.
That was the accusation, whether it was true or not. If they had actually done that, seditious conspiracy would have fit.
Items 3 and 4 (and sometimes 5) are exactly what Antifa and the Occupy movement are/were about. What was CHAZ but opposing by force the authority of the United States? What are the current anti-ICE riots but an attempt “by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States”?
For decades we have been plagued by pervasive corruption because Very Learned People claimed that nothing could be done about it. Now something is being done about it, and that includes getting rid of the self proclaimed experts. Once that progresses beyond a certain point then change will accelerate and we will finally move on to whatever comes next. Then a fresh crop of pundits will settle in to exploit the new status quo. And so it goes, just as it ever was.
And your larger point is what?
Human nature persists? Better mousetraps breed better mice?
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Adapt or perish. Root, hog, or die. Life is challenge.
The release of these files is most definitely not a distraction from the Epstein files. The WSJ’s latest fraud is an attempted distraction from the release of these files, which, as noted has been pending for months. And, of course, It just so happens that President Trump’s AI is better than whatever AI they used to make up that “card.” Leftists can’t meme.
“Epstein files”! Since the most despicable people have had access to those files for so long, does anyone think the original files even exist?? Come on, we KNOW that the DOJ/FBI/etc would manipulate or destroy any REAL evidence of any DEMOcrat involved and MANUFACTURE incriminating “documents” to bring down their ENEMIES!
I like the idea of releasing the GRAND JURY files! THOSE were under SEAL and supposedly, UNTOUCHABLE! Those transcripts and evidence exhibits would then be compared to the “Epstein Files” that the FBI has been holding. Any bets on how much of it MATCHES???
OK, the video is very funny – to NON-DEMOcrats! We’ve seen the clown shows of the left for nearly 20 years! The horrors that the oblama clowns put us through are now being exposed by REAL EVIDENCE! Their CRIMES that were in broad daylight and RECORDED by Congress can now be PROSECUTED! Even the current Head of the Fed has been shown to be GUILTY of PERJURY! So what if it’s only FIVE YEARS in Prison – it’s the “thought” that counts!
I hope to see TRUE LIFE VERSIONS of the VIDEO!!
I really enjoy Trumps’ sense of humor.
Democrats don’t have one.
” Wind them up, and watch them go”
Can someone explain to me the significance of the tiny image of (I’m pretty sure) John Travolta from Pulp Fiction at the bottom of the screen during the first half? I hate it when I know there’s a joke there but I’m not getting it.
