‘No one is above the law’: Trump shares AI video showing Obama being arrested; ex-president seen behind jail bars

In another jibe at the Democrats, Donald Trump on Sunday shared an AI-generated video that shows former US President Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents inside the Oval Office.Trump posted the video on his Truth Social platform and it quickly became viral. The video was created using deepfake technology, which shows a highly realistic scene where Obama is handcuffed and taken away by agents while Donald Trump looks on, smiling.The footage appears to have originated on TikTok and was later reshared by Trump without any direct commentary. The clip is captioned with the phrase: “No one is above the law.”In the beginning of the video, various prominent Democratic leaders, including former US President Joe Biden, say, “No one is above the law.” A clown version of the Pepe the Frog meme then appears on screen, honking its red nose, seemingly mocking their statements.In the next segment, the video shows Obama being handcuffed, and later, he appears behind bars wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. The video sparked strong reactions on social media. Trump’s supporters on Truth Social celebrated the post, while critics condemned it as misleading and provocative.The internet went buzzing with reactions. “Anything to distract from the Epstein files…,” said X handle Republicans against Trump.Others like user Publius asked: “Will Obama be arrested?”Political commentator Nick Sortor said, “make this a reality.”MAGA Voice reshared the video and said, “I absolutely voted for this.”This mocking video of Obama comes at the same time as serious claims made by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence (DNI).On Friday, Gabbard said she has “striking” and “overwhelming” proof that some of Obama’s top officials made up the Trump-Russia collusion story after the 2016 election. She said it was done to try and stop Trump from becoming president.Gabbard also said she plans to give the secret documents to the department of justice and the FBI so they can take action against Obama. So far, Obama and his former team have not responded to these claims.“The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic,” Gabbard said Sunday on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.“Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected.”
