US President Donald Trump shared a AI-generated video on Truth Social on Sunday evening. It shows how FBI agents arrested the former President Barack Obama and tug from the Oval Office. The incumbent president shared or wrote several contributions in which he approved the detention of his political enemies. He was largely based on right -wing extremist conspiracy theories. This flood of contributions comes at a time when he tries to distract the public from the Jeffrey Epstein disaster, which has been burdening his government for weeks.
AI video shows Obama in handcuffs in the Oval Office
Suffering Trump’s fascist fantasies to see his opponents-from democratic MPs to late night moderators-are not just a distraction. They are part of a very real authoritarian project that he and his government have been actively pursuing for six months. And that they obviously want to continue until the end of their term.
The video in which federal agents Obama has been pushing away was apparently created with artificial intelligence. It is underlaid with the song “Ymca” by the Village People. It begins with a compilation of clips, in which democratic officials-including Obama, the former spokeswoman for the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-Kalifornia) and former President Joe Biden-say: “Nobody is above the law.” The video then shows a AI-generated clip in which Trump and Obama sit in the Oval Office. FBI agents occur. Make Obama on his knees. Place it in handcuffs. And arrest him while Trump grins. In the end you can see another AI-generated picture of Obama. In a prison cell in an orange overall.
Trump has been raging from the director of the national intelligence services, Tulsi Gabbard for days, according to which Obama and high -ranking members of his government had led a “traitorious conspiracy” against Trump in 2016. Gabard accused the Obama government of “manipulated and politicized” intelligence information. To lay the basis for what she described as long -term coup against President Trump, in connection with the Russian election interference of 2016.
“The Shaady Bunch” and the call for political revenge
On Sunday, Trump also shared another AI-generated video. This time from an account called “DeepfaKquotes”. It shows a man with Guy-Fawkes mask. Who explains to the viewers: “This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not speculation. They are documented facts.” In the split screen you can see a headline that emphasizes Gabard’s proposal to pursue Obama and other officials in a criminal law because of their supposed participation in the alleged plan.
In keeping with the subject of the persecution of political opponents, Trump also posted a picture collage in the style of the preload of the television series “The Brady Bunch”, in the middle of which “The Shady Bunch” is. The collage shows several prominent Democrats from the Obama era in orange overalls. With police images in the hands. As if they were posing for a search photo. Obama are shown. The former UN ambassadors Samantha Power and Susan Rice. The former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes. Ex-FBI director James Comey. And the former CIA director John Brennan.
Another AI-generated picture that the President shared shows presumably tied MPs who march before the Capitol. With the caption “Until that happens, nothing changes.” He also wrote on Sunday that Senator Adam Schiff (D-California), a long-standing goal of Trump, which he recently accused of mortgage fraud, should “pay the prison sentence for a real crime”. “Not for one that was invented by corrupt applicants!”
So that nobody forgets that the president is a 79-year-old man who is addicted to his own social media platform, Trump published a “top 25” video with long outdated viral clips for loosening up. Underlaid with generic rock music. A bizarre outlier in the middle of the authoritarian AI flood.
Distraction of Epstein – or part of an authoritarian plan?
In a way, Trump apparently tries to distract from the weeks-long consequences of his government decision, to suppress files for investigation of the epstein. A topic that threatens to tear down the highest levels of the federal government. And that busy the president so much that he personally tries to put down the “Maga uprising”. Trump seems desperately to be concerned about steering the national discussion back on his openly fascist plans to punish political opponents based on baseless stories. While at the same time he demands from all major private companies to act exactly according to his will.
Trump’s wish to see Obama in a prison overall is anything but likely. In particular in view of the decision of the Supreme Court on Presidential Immunity, which Trump favors considerably. But it would be a mistake to dismiss his repeated hints on Truth Social and elsewhere to the authoritarian plans of his government as a mere distraction of Epstein. Because his government has already proven that it is ready to actually follow the fascist fantasies that Trump indicates there.
Media, company, comedy – everything under pressure
At the weekend, Trump also asked several professional sports teams in his rage posting to reintroduce their “racist names”. He did this after six months in which he repeatedly demonstrated how willful he uses the federal government to use to make life difficult for private companies if they did not follow his will.
At the end of last week, Trump Höhnisch celebrated the deposition of “The Late Show”, moderated by Stephen Colbert. A common Trump critic. Against the background of the planned billion -dollar fusion of the paramount paramount with SkyDance, the dismissal took place. A deal that Trump and his government made clear that they could make him fail at any time. “I absolutely love that Colbert was fired,” Trump posted on Friday. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is the next.”
Its tip against Kimmel, which moderates a late night show at ABC, is also not a mere distraction. Several high-ranking officials from the Trump government have had told Rolling Stone for months that the president had-and repeatedly-talked about how he could use government power and the influence of the FCC to punish large media companies. Or even silence his opponents in the late night comedy.
“Pounds meat”
Already during his first term that the Ministry of Justice was going against NBCS Saturday Night Live and other shows that annoyed him, and he instructed his employees in the White House to put Disney under pressure, censor. None of this was implemented – partly because some of his high -ranking employees simply waited until he lost interest. In his second term, however, Trump is almost exclusively surrounded by followers who are determined to implement his authoritarian fantasies as far as possible.
In fact, several current high-ranking Trump officials say that the president and his team felt “reinforced” by the large number of large corporations and private organizations that have leaned over to his will in the past few months. A Trump consultant said that the “Pounds Meat”, which Team Trump had already cut out of companies such as Paramount Global and CBS, were significantly larger than expected.
The lesson that this president and his closest confidants learn is: they get through with it – and it is useful to move the boundaries on their autocratic project. And that also applies in the weeks in which Trump does not want to talk about his former friend Jeffrey Epstein.
