US President Donald Trump has taken a jab at former US president Barack Obama with an AI video of him being arrested and put in jail.
On Sunday, President Trump posted the cryptic video to Truth Social following recent claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Several Democrats were heard saying, 'No one is above the law' in the video that Trump shared from TikTok.
At around the 40-second mark, the video shows Trump and Obama sitting in the Oval Office before the former president is arrested by FBI agents.
Following Obama's arrest in the video, the 44th president was then shown in an orange jumpsuit behind bars.

Labor vows to ‘fight' as Trump threatens pharma tariffs

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a list of federally subsidised medicines and a prized Labor invention. Health Minister Mark Butler last month introduced legislation that, if passed, would cap PBS-listed medicines at $25 from January 1, 2026. Aside from subsidising medicines, the scheme also compels firms to negotiate prices with the federal government, which helps keep products affordable. Celebrated as a cornerstone of the healthcare system in Canberra, the scheme is denounced by pharmaceutical lobbyists in Washington, who claim Australia is 'freeloading on American innovation'. One group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), has explicitly urged the Trump administration to 'leverage ongoing trade negotiations' to influence Australia's PBS policies. But Anthony Albanese, Mr Butler and other ministers have ruled out budging on the PBS. 'We'll fight for our PBS and fight for the jobs of Australian manufacturers here,' Mr Butler told the ABC on Friday, noting most production is in Melbourne. Pharmaceutical exports to the US totalled north of $2bn in 2024, making it the biggest foreign market for Australian producers. Exports are mostly blood products and vaccines but also include packaged medicines and miscellaneous medical items, such as bandages. Though, as Mr Butler noted, the US still exported more to Australia and did so without tariffs. 'We have zero tariffs on those imports that we take from America companies,' he said. 'We're making the case that should continue in reverse. 'We should be able to continue to export our terrific blood and plasma products and medicines to Americans without what might be a 250 per cent tariff.'

Last week, he wrote to 17 major pharmaceutical companies demanding they lower their prices for American consumers to bring them in line with prices overseas. A Rand Corporation report found that Americans pay nearly four times more than Australians for medicines and about three times more than the average in other developed economies. The answer, according to Mr Trump, is making pharmaceuticals in the US. Mr Trump's 250 per cent tariff threat was a warning shot to firms, but one that, if realised, would hit producers Down Under hard.

South Park returns with savage mockery of Trump, Vance and Kristi Noem

South Park has sparked another controversy with the return to its 27season with its second episode titled 'Got a nut'. The episode saw South Park Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone satirically go after the Trump administration, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance slammed. The Comedy Central show depicted Noem as repeatedly shooting dogs, referring to a 2024 story that Noem had shot her 'untrainable' family dog. In her book, Noem wrote that her dog had an 'aggressive personality' and was being trained to be used to hunt pheasant. The episode also saw commentary on Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and its continued raids across America, including a parody of ICE ads. The plot saw School Councillor Mr Mackey fired due to cuts to the Department of Education by the Trump administration, resulting in him joining ICE and deporting illegal migrants.

US judge orders temporary halt to new 'Alligator Alcatraz' construction

Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. A US federal judge ordered a temporary pause on Thursday to further construction of the migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in a case filed by conservation groups. District Judge Kathleen Williams issued the temporary restraining order in a lawsuit filed against the Trump administration by Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. The detention center, built on the site of an abandoned airfield in the Big Cypress National Preserve, can continue to house immigration detainees, but the Miami-based judge ordered an immediate two-week halt to new construction while the suit proceeds. Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity are arguing that the detention center threatens the sensitive Everglades ecosystem and was hastily built without conducting the required environmental impact studies. President Donald Trump, who has vowed to deport millions of undocumented migrants, visited the center last month, boasting about the harsh conditions and joking that the reptilian predators will serve as guards. The name "Alligator Alcatraz" is a reference to Alcatraz Island, the former prison on an island in San Franciso Bay that Trump recently said he wanted to reopen. The conservation groups that filed the lawsuit welcomed the judge's ruling. "We're pleased that the judge saw the urgent need to put a pause on additional construction, and we look forward to advancing our ultimate goal of protecting the unique and imperiled Everglades ecosystem from further damage caused by this mass detention facility," Eve Samples, executive director at Friends of the Everglades, said in a statement. Elise Bennett, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said it was a "relief that the court has stepped in to protect the Everglades' sensitive waters, starry skies and vulnerable creatures from further harm while we continue our case." "We're ready to press forward and put a stop to this despicable plan for good," Bennett said. The ruling was also welcomed by the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, which joined the case. "The detention facility threatens land that is not only environmentally sensitive but sacred to our people," tribal chairman Talbert Cypress said. "While this order is temporary, it is an important step in asserting our rights and protecting our homeland." The detention center is also the subject of a lawsuit filed in another federal court claiming that detainees are not being given access to attorneys and are being held without charges. cl/ksb Originally published as US judge orders temporary halt to new 'Alligator Alcatraz' construction
