Washington: US President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video of former President Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents inside the Oval Office. Trump posted the video on his Truth Social platform on Sunday (local) time, which quickly went viral.
In the Truth Social post, Trump shared a TikTok video of various Democrats, including Obama, saying that “No one is above the law.”
The 45-second AI-generated deepfake video depicts a highly realistic but entirely fabricated sequence in which Trump and Obama appear in the Oval Office. As the video progresses, Obama is shown being arrested by agents while Trump looks on, smiling, with the song “YMCA” playing in the background.
The video reportedly originated on TikTok and was later reshared by Trump on social media without any direct commentary. It is captioned with the phrase: “No one is above the law.”
At the beginning, clips of various prominent Democratic leaders, including President Joe Biden, are shown saying, “No one is above the law.” This is immediately followed by a clown-faced version of the Pepe the Frog meme, which appears to mock the statement by honking its red nose.
Later, the video shows Obama being handcuffed and later appearing behind bars in an orange prison jumpsuit, further reinforcing the fabricated narrative.
