Reactions: Trump's Fake Obama AI Video
The clip begins with a speech from Obama, during which he says, "No one, especially the president, is above the law."
Then, later in the video, an AI-rendered clip of Trump and Obama sitting together in the White House appears.
Soon, the two are surrounded by FBI agents...
...but the agents shift their focus to Obama.
The former president is pushed down to his knees — much to Trump's apparent delight.
AI Obama's hands are brought behind his back...
...and he's arrested.
The clip — which surpassed 1.6 million views on X after news of Trump's post circulated on the platform — ends with AI Obama behind bars.
The MAGA core was all for it.
But others? Not so much.
A lot of people called out racist undertones. One person wrote, "This is not funny. It is particularly disgusting to show an innocent Black person getting arrested--particularly one who has spent a lifetime trying to overcome the stereotypes that racists like Trump favor."
"this who y'all voted for?" another asked.
Others pointed out what could be viewed as hypocrisy, considering Trump was previously convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in one case and found liable for sexual abuse in another.
Ergo:
Timing-wise, Trump's post coincides with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's claims that she has evidence of an 'Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert Trump's 2016 Victory and Presidency.' In a tweet, she wrote: "Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people."
According to the New York Times, Democrats have called her claims baseless. This, however, does not appear to be stopping Trump from bolstering the idea.

Exotic snake found hidden in kitchen of Aussie home raises biosecurity concerns
Australian authorities have warned an invasive animal found hiding in a home kitchen posed a 'serious risk' to the nation's biosecurity. They believe the bright orange American corn snake was likely being kept as an illegal pet before it escaped and entered a residence in Sydney's west. Snake catcher Austin Pols told Yahoo News when the snake was described to him over the phone, he initially dismissed the caller's authenticity. 'The guy said, I have an orange snake coming out of my oven, and I immediately assumed it was a prank call. I told him, there are no orange snakes in Sydney and asked him to send me an image,' he recalled. Related: 😳 Discovery in remote bushland prompts renewed calls to combat Aussie crisis The photo that was sent through to Austin's phone allayed any concerns that the situation was not genuine, and he apologised for not believing the caller. The Sydney Snakes and Wildlife Removal founder then jumped in his car and drove directly to the Macquarie Fields address. Why exotic snakes pose a 'serious risk' to Australia The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPIRD) told Yahoo News it manages 20 to 25 detections of the corn snakes each year, but the species is yet to become established as a pest in the wild. 'The species poses a serious risk to Australia's biosecurity, biodiversity, environment and economy,' it said. DPIRD explained illegally keeping exotic species of snake can create several problems for Australia's native reptiles: Adding extra pressure through habitat destruction; Competing for limited resources; Introducing foreign animal diseases. 'It is more likely that the snake was being illegally kept at a nearby property and was either dumped by the owner or escaped from captivity, and then sought shelter from the cold by moving into the nearby residence of the person who reported the snake,' a DPIRD spokesperson said. 'All exotic reptiles, including corn snakes, are illegal to be kept or traded by members of the public in Australia.' Snake species poses danger to humans Austin has been called out to capture two corn snakes this year. The other one was an albino with golden stripes. They are naturally a dull orange or brown, but illegal collectors often want specially bred individuals in bright colours. It took Austin 20 minutes to meticulously pull apart the oven and remove the Macquarie Fields snake. 'Its head was sticking out, but I couldn't pull it out or I would have shredded it against the oven. So we had to let it go back in the oven, and disassemble it,' he said. It was then surrendered to a vet and humanely euthanised after DPIRD was notified. Although corn snakes are non-venomous, they can carry diseases and parasites that are dangerous to humans. Anyone who detects or suspects they have seen a corn snake or another strange, exotic animal in NSW can report it here or contact their local snake catcher.

Migrant sent to El Salvador prison by the Trump administration says he was beaten by guards
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Homeland Security said in an email that Rengel was a 'confirmed associate' of the Tren de Aragua gang — though it did not specify how it reached that conclusion — who had entered the country illegally. It called his claims a fake 'sob story.' Advertisement 'President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow foreign terrorist enemies to operate in our country and endanger Americans,' the email said. It added, 'We hear far too much about gang members and criminals' false sob stories and not enough about their victims.' Advertisement At El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, Rengel said guards hit him with fists and batons and, on one occasion, viciously beat him after taking him to an area of the prison without cameras. Rengel was sent to Venezuela earlier this month They are seeking compensation for emotional and psychological injuries. A federal judge ruled in June that the Trump administration must give some of the migrants sent to the prison in El Salvador a chance to challenge their deportations. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg said the people hadn't been able to formally contest the removals or allegations that they were members of Tren de Aragua. He ordered the administration to work toward giving them a way to file those challenges. The judge wrote that 'significant evidence' had surfaced indicating that many of the migrants were not connected to the gang 'and thus were languishing in a foreign prison on flimsy, even frivolous, accusations.' At a hearing on Thursday, an attorney for the Trump administration told Boasberg it would not immediately bring the migrants sent from El Salvador to Venezuela as part of the prisoner exchange back to the U.S. Trump officials planned to await the outcome of other court cases before deciding whether to allow the migrants to return, U.S. Department of Justice attorney Tiberius Davis said. Boasberg had ordered the administration to turn planes carrying the accused gang members around, but the demand was ignored. Rengel's attorneys say he was on one of those planes. Advertisement The judge has found probable cause that the administration committed contempt of court. Boasberg said Thursday he planned to expand his contempt probe to include a recent whistleblower complaint that claims a top Justice Department official suggested the Trump administration might have to ignore court orders as it prepared to deport Venezuelan migrants it accused of being gang members.

Videos: Trump accuses Obama of ‘treason,' Obama responds
President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama on Tuesday of committing 'treason' after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents providing 'new evidence' that the Obama administration engaged in a 'treasonous conspiracy' to undermine Trump's first term in office by falsely claiming Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Asked by a reporter in the Oval Office on Tuesday who should be investigated regarding the allegations against the Obama administration, Trump said, 'Well, based on what I read, and I read pretty much what you read, it would be President Obama. He started it, and Biden was there with him, and Comey was there, and Clapper, the whole group was there.' 'If you look at those papers, they have him, stone cold, and it was President Obama. It wasn't lots of people all over the place,' Trump added. 'It was them too, but the leader of the gang was President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?' Trump told the reporter that Obama is 'guilty' and that the alleged actions of the officials under his administration amounted to 'treason.' 'This was treason. This was every word you can think of,' Trump continued. 'They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries.' Trump: 'The leader of the gang was President Obama … This was treason.' — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 22, 2025 Trump was also asked by a reporter regarding the Justice Department's plan to interview Jeffrey Epstein's former associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. After Trump described the interest in Epstein as a 'continuation' of a 'witch hunt,' the president said, 'The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama, absolutely cold.'

'So people say, oh, you know, a group. It's not a group. It's Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office. They sent everything to be highly classified. Well, the highly classified's been released, and what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal. It's criminal at the highest level.' Trump: "It's time to start—after what they did to me—and whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people. Obama's been caught directly." — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 22, 2025 In response to Trump's claims, Patrick Rodenbush, an Obama spokesperson, released a statement obtained by NBC News, saying, 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' 'Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,' the Obama spokesperson added. 'These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.'
