Donald Trump mocks Barack Obama with AI video of him being arrested and behind bars

Sky News AU3 days ago
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.

Trump's Aussie ‘alpha male' is falling flat in Malaysia

Will Adams treat the prime minister the same as 'Leslie'? The 40-year-old was barely known in his native Australia before being tapped by Trump this month. His claim to fame before packing up for the US was being Australia's youngest ever deputy mayor (for Ashfield council in Sydney), a platform he used in the mid-noughties to spout wacky ideas that went nowhere, like culling pigeons to stop avian flu. The Americans, however, put him on the telly and conservative speaking circuits, where he has relished owning woke lefties, worshipping Trump and espousing supposed old-school masculinity. This, of course, caught Trump's eye. The president returned the love by endorsing Adams' books, including 2016's Retaking America, in which the author declares, 'We don't want a president who has more sympathy for Muslims than Jews' and 'there are many peaceful and law-abiding Muslims, but this does not make Islam a religion of peace'. In one passage, written in the context of Islamic State's brutality in the Middle East, Adams muses on the 'culturally confident, passionate' leaders of Australia and America who locked up people of Japanese descent during World War II. 'There is significant evidence of disloyalty ... both on the individual and mosque level. Yet never once, anywhere, to my knowledge, has the internment of Muslims as a policy idea been floated,' he wrote. 'Let me be clear: I am not advocating for the current internment of Muslims in America, Australia or anywhere else. But I also do not believe it should never be considered, nor do I believe anyone should fear raising the concept.' Here is another titbit from Retaking America: 'I'm a Western civilisation guy. I have little cultural interest in Asia and Africa. Except for Israel, I have no great impulse to visit the Middle East.' Perhaps he has since discovered an appreciation for Asian cultures. Anwar is staring at a Nick Adams-shaped pickle. The youth wing of his People's Justice Party said it would submit a memorandum of protest to the US embassy. Others are upset too. Kasthuri Patto of coalition partner DAP (Democratic Action Party) said 'Malaysia deserves better' than a man of his 'extreme and conservative views including Islamophobia'. But Anwar can hardly push back on Trump's nomination when Malaysia is attempting to negotiate down from a steep 25 per cent tariff rate. At the same time, conservative elements of Malaysian politics would like to leverage any perceived weakness in defending Islam and the Palestinian cause. Anwar said the government would give Adams 'due consideration'. Loading 'My understanding is that the Malaysian government will not reject whoever is sent by Washington because they can't afford to fight Washington at the present moment,' Professor James Chin, a Malaysia expert at the University of Tasmania, said. 'So the spin in Kuala Lumpur is that, yes, this guy is stupid, he's nasty, he's pro-Israel blah, blah, blah, but he has a direct line to Trump. We may need him to help us with the trade deals. 'My guess is that he will totally reinvent himself in front of the Senate hearing. You will see that he'll say all the right things about Islam; all [the] right things about Malaysia. He'll come across as a reasonable person.' Adams did not respond to requests for an interview or comment.
