Trump Posts Fake Video Showing Obama Arrest

President Trump reposted a fake video showing former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office, as Trump administration officials continue to accuse Mr. Obama of trying to harm Mr. Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election, and the president seeks to redirect conversation from the Epstein files.

The short video, which appears to have been generated by artificial intelligence and posted on TikTok before being reposted on Mr. Trump’s Truth Social account on Sunday, comes days after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the latest in a series of reports from the Trump administration trying to undermine the eight-year-old assessment that Russia favored the election of Mr. Trump.

The video appears to be manipulated footage of an Oval Office meeting that took place in November 2016 between Mr. Obama, then the president, and Mr. Trump, who days earlier had defeated Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, in the election.

The fake video purports to show F.B.I. agents bursting into the meeting, pushing Mr. Obama into a kneeling position and putting him in handcuffs as Mr. Trump looks on smiling, while the song “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People plays. Later, the fake video shows Mr. Obama in an orange jumpsuit pacing in a cell. The start of the video shows a compilation of actual footage of Democratic leaders, including Mr. Obama and former President Joseph R. Biden Jr, saying, “no one is above the law.”

Mr. Obama’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the video. Mr. Trump regularly reposts A.I.-generated or mocked-up videos and photographs on his Truth Social account.

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said last week that the latest report released by her offices showed a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” by top Obama administration officials to harm...

...the president seeks to redirect conversation from the Epstein files.

The gaslight press seeks to redirect conversation from the Deep State treason.

I think arrests are imminent, and Trump is planting the idea out there in public so when it happens it's not a surprise and the public has already been innoculated.

It’s funny, maybe a little tacky but still funny.

“...trying to undermine the eight-year-old assessment that Russia favored the election of Mr. Trump.”

Leave it to a left wing rag like the times. You’re not trying to prove someone is guilty of something when there is written proof sitting in front of you. You don’t have to try. Truthfully is essentially a structured way to convince someone that a statement is undeniably true. It’s just going through the exercise.

I prefer not to think of it as fake. I think of it as “aspirational”.

We have arrived at the moment of the supreme test in terms of what will win: the DNC mouthpieces in the legacy media or the truth seekers in the new media.

Is Epstein, Epstein, Epstein preeminent over an real-life attempted coup against an incoming and official president, lawfare, and an actual assassination attempt.

Even on Free Republic, the struggle is real. Even here, the outcome is uncertain.

The results will determine whether the USA can be salvaged.

The crisis has arrived.

WHEN the Kenyan usurper is arrested the birth certificate will be revealed....including "Race = CAUCASIAN"

Epstein isn’t going anywhere and needs to be released accurately. How much is fact and how much is fiction?

Oh those poor liberals. How would they know that the video was parody if the NY times didn’t tell them.

With Pam Bondi as AG, there will never be any arrests. This is way over her head.
