Trump Shares AI-Generated Video of Barack Obama’s Arrest on Truth Social

U.S. President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video on his Truth Social platform, depicting former President Barack Obama being arrested by the FBI inside the White House. The video, shared on Monday, July 20, shows Obama in an orange prison jumpsuit behind bars, according to a report by Fox News on Monday, July 21.

The video begins with a voiceover of Obama saying, “Especially the President is above the law,” followed by several American politicians, including Joe Biden, stating, “No one is above the law.” It then transitions to a fictional scene in the Oval Office where FBI agents handcuff Obama while Trump watches with a smile. The clip concludes with Obama depicted in a jail cell. The release of this AI-generated video coincides with claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who alleged that Obama’s administration deliberately manipulated intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election to undermine Trump’s victory. Gabbard cited a 114-page email document, heavily redacted, as evidence that Obama’s national security team fabricated intelligence to link Trump with Russia. In a post on X, Gabbard wrote, “Their goal was to subvert President Trump and disregard the will of the American people. No matter how powerful, everyone involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is essential to protect the democratic foundation of our republic.” She further stated that the documents have been handed over to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. Trump praised Gabbard’s efforts, writing, “Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard! Keep it up!!!” The video sparked immediate reactions on social media, with some users questioning whether Obama’s arrest was imminent. One user on X asked, “Arrest Obama is trending? Do you guys think Obama will actually be arrested?” Another wrote, “Is this real life? Is there a chance Obama will be arrested?” The video is entirely AI-generated, using manipulated footage, voices, and facial expressions. It is not real, and no arrest warrant or formal charges have been filed against Obama to date. Experts warn that such AI-generated videos are increasingly being used as political tools to spread misinformation and influence public opinion, emphasizing the importance of verifying the authenticity of such content before sharing or believing it.[](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-posts-ai-generated-video-showing-obama-getting-arrested-ymca)
