3 things that should scare us about Trump's fake video of Obama
Los Angeles Times ^ | July 22, 2025 11:47 AM PDT | Anita Chabria

Posted on 07/22/2025 11:58:36 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On Sunday, our thoughtful and reserved president reposted on his Truth Social site a video generated by artificial intelligence that falsely showed former President Obama being arrested and imprisoned.

There are those among you who think this is high humor; those among you who who find it as tiresome as it is offensive; and those among you blissfully unaware of the mental morass that is Truth Social.

Whatever camp you fall into, the video crosses all demographics by being expected — just another crazy Trump stunt in a repetitive cycle of division and diversion so frequent it makes Groundhog Day seem fresh. Epstein who?

But there are three reasons why this particular video — not made by the president but amplified to thousands — is worth noting, and maybe even worth fearing.

First, it is flat-out racist. In it, Obama is ripped out of a chair in the Oval Office and forced onto his knees, almost bowing, to a laughing Trump. That imagery isn’t hard to interpret: America’s most esteemed Black man — who recently warned we are on the brink of losing democracy — forced into submission before our leader.

The video comes as Trump claims that Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, has uncovered a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” in which top Obama officials colluded with Russia to disrupt the election. Democrats say the claim is erroneous at best.

If you are inclined to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, right before this scene of Obama forced to kneel, a meme of Pepe the Frog — an iconic image of the far-right and white supremacy — flashes on the screen.

Trump posted it because it is about to happen and he is innoculating the public response for when it does.

Hmm video of a talk show host holding Trump severed head was “free speech” Trump making a meme about Obama is “chilling”

So done with these hate filled hysteric children pretending to be “journalists”

Message to Anita Chabria: more pain is coming your way, much more. Trump has only just started to inflict the punishment to subversive scumbags in the USA. The cretins at the LA Times are also on the list. Have a nice day. /spit

And, as a bonus, here’s Number 4!:

The Left has absolutely no sense of humor.

There are those among us who feel when we’re called the ‘deplorables’ and our President is called ‘Hitler’ that we don’t give an effing bit about what we say back. Just a ‘cult’ member’s opinion.

Hmm
Didn’t they arrest Trump?

“ Shortly after 19:30 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), August 24, Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia and was booked, given inmate number P01135809, processed and released on bond.”

What were the charges

Maybe he’s hinting that BO ought to turn himself in

The zillion pics that the left posted depicting Trump in an orange jumpsuit with a defeated look on his face were not meant to scare the “right”, then? (Contrast that with the defiant look in his actual mugshot over nothing.)

It’s amazing how people look at the same thing and see entirely different things...that’s why eyewitnesses suck.

The left doesn’t understand humor so it must be racist..funny how tiny minds work.

The filthy journo-list has no problem though with Obama using the power of the presidency to falsely set up a political rival and destroy his innocent family members though. Disgusting!

A deep state coup to overthrow a president and election is not chilling, but a video promising justice is chilling and racist. Ok 👌

It is racist to suggest that an action by or on a person is racist if the person is non white but fine if involving a caucasian person.
These people are marinated in race and they aren’t even aware of the irony of their statements.
