Trump Goes on Overnight Truth Social Rampage With AI Video Targeting Obama

Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of late-night posts on Truth Social on Sunday, culminating in the reposting of a surreal AI-generated video depicting Barack Obama being arrested and imprisoned.

The video, created by a pro-MAGA TikTok user, shows Obama in an orange jumpsuit after a fake FBI arrest, set to the tune of "YMCA." Trump posted the clip alongside over a dozen posts about former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's recent claim that the Obama administration orchestrated a "treasonous conspiracy" to interfere in the 2016 election, the Daily Beast reported.

Gabbard alleged that newly declassified documents prove Obama officials fabricated intelligence to justify the Russia probe—an assertion that Democrats have called baseless and misleading.

Trump's video included appearances from far-right meme mascot Pepe the Frog and spliced footage of real political figures declaring "no one is above the law." It also came days after Director of National Intelligence Carla Sands said she would refer Obama-era officials to the DOJ, a move Democrats called political theater. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia dismissed Gabbard's statements as another attempt to "cook the books."

Trump also floated jailing Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and shared an image of fake mugshots featuring Obama-era figures like James Comey and Susan Rice in prison uniforms. The spree followed growing backlash from Trump's own supporters over his handling of the Epstein documents, which many have accused him of trying to bury.
