Trump posts AI-generated video showing Obama getting arrested to 'YMCA'
In the Truth Social post, Trump shared a TikTok video of various Democrats, including Obama, saying that "No one is above the law."
Later in the 45-second AI-generated video, Trump and Obama are seen sitting in the Oval Office before Obama is arrested by agents as the song "YMCA" plays.
The AI-generated version of Trump grins as Obama is apprehended and eventually thrown in a jail cell. The AI-generated Obama is also seen wearing an orange jumpsuit behind bars.
The video surfaced amid allegations from Gabbard that Obama and his intel chiefs manufactured the Russia collusion narrative.
"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on Fox News Channel's Sunday episode of "Sunday Morning Futures."
"Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected," Gabbard claimed.
Gabbard also said that she planned to send the uncovered documents to the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) for a criminal referral.
Documents shared by Gabbard's office claim that before the 2016 election, there was no evidence of collusion with Russia – and that politically motivated actors distorted the narrative to harm Trump, not in response to new intelligence.
"Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to 'hack the United States election,'" Gabbard told host Maria Bartiromo.
"So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people," she added.

Iowa Tea Party founder Ryan Rhodes will run in 4th District congressional race
Republican Ryan Rhodes has launched a campaign for Congress in Iowa's 4th District, saying it's time to "drain and then set fire to the Washington swamp." 'This race isn't about left versus right — it's about two very different visions for the future of conservatism,'Rhodes said in a news release. 'We're no longer just talking about tax policy — we're fighting a spiritual and cultural war for the soul of our country. I will not shy away from those hard truths. I'll be a relentless voice for faith, family, freedom, and the forgotten men and women of the Heartland.' Rhodes said he's running on a platform of "no compromise" when it comes to protecting the Second Amendment, recognizing that an unborn fetus has "personhood" rights, defending the border and ending "corporate welfare." "California could have stayed in California. New York could have stayed in New York," he said in the release. "It's time to take the fight to them and MAKE AMERICA IOWA!" Rhodes, a 43-year-old Ames resident, served as the CEO of the conservative social media site Parler before stepping down earlier this year, although he said he still serves on the board. He also was the founder of the Tea Party in Iowa. In an interview, Rhodes said he thinks Republican President Donald Trump represents embodies the ideals he set out to champion with the Tea Party movement roughly a decade ago. "Somebody's finally getting in there, cutting government and trying to get us back on the right direction," Rhodes said. "And I know he has so much more he wants to continue doing, so each new piece of legislation is a new bite of the apple to get the government under control." Rhodes previously worked for Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson and helped conduct outreach for Michelle Bachmann during their GOP Iowa caucus campaigns. The 4th District seat is expected to be open in 2026 as current Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra moves aggressively toward a gubernatorial run. It is the most heavily Republican district in the state, and the GOP primary race will very likely determine who will be elected to Congress. It has already attracted three other Republican contenders: Siouxland Chamber of Commerce President Chris McGowan, Iowa House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl and Humboldt farmer Kyle Larsen. On the Democratic side, Ashley WolfTornabane and Stephanie Steiner have mounted campaigns. Brianne Pfannenstiel is the chief politics reporter for the Des Moines Register.

Trump criticised ‘terrible first minister' Sturgeon on flight back to US
US President Donald Trump has delivered an unprompted attack on former Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon, describing her as a 'terrible first minister'. He made the comments on Air Force One as he travelled back to Washington following his five-day visit to Scotland. During his stay, he had a two-hour dinner on Monday with current First Minister John Swinney, alongside Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Mr Swinney, who also met Mr Trump on Tuesday morning, said he had used the talks to push the president to exempt Scotch from US tariffs. Speaking to reporters on his flight home, the president was asked if he offered to drop the levy on Scotland's national drink. He replied: 'No. We really didn't discuss it much. But I have a lot of respect for him [Mr Swinney].' Journalists began asking questions again before Mr Trump interjected: 'I didn't have a lot of respect for the woman that preceded him – I thought she was terrible as a first minister of Scotland. 'But I think John is doing a very good job of first minister.' A source close to Ms Sturgeon responded: 'Trump's lack of respect for women is hardly news. 'That said, the feeling was entirely mutual.' Ms Sturgeon added on her Instagram account: 'Feeling was mutual, Donnie. 'Forever proud to represent all the things that offend your view of the world.' Mr Trump criticised Ms Sturgeon, who became first minister in 2014, during her resignation in 2023. He described her as a 'failed woke extremist' and a 'crazed leftist' who 'symbolises everything wrong with identity politics'. When he was first elected as president in 2016, Ms Sturgeon described Mr Trump's behaviour and rhetoric as 'abhorrent'. Mr Trump left Scotland on Tuesday after visiting his golf courses in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, and Menie in Aberdeenshire. During his stay he struck a trade agreement, described by him as 'the biggest in history', with the EU, and held a meeting with Sir Keir to improve the UK-US trade deal. Mr Swinney said following his talks with the US leader that Mr Trump had shown a 'willingness' to move on Scotch tariffs, which currently sit at 10%. During Mr Trump's speech to open a new golf course at Menie on Tuesday morning, he asked the First Minister to stand to thank him. He said: 'John Swinney is a terrific guy – and loves golf and loves the people of this country, and we really appreciate it. 'You're really a very special guy. Thank-you very much for everything, John.'

Trump meets with candidates for four-star general in break with tradition, White House acknowledges
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has acknowledged that President Donald Trump now meets with candidates for promotion to the rank of four-star general, in a break with past practice. A White House spokesperson said the Republican president has the meetings because he wants to make sure the U.S. military retains its superiority and its leaders focus on fighting wars. 'Donald Trump wants to ensure our military is the greatest and most lethal fighting force in history, which is why he meets with four-star-general nominees directly to ensure they are war fighters first — not bureaucrats,' assistant press secretary Anna Kelly said. The meetings, however, are a departure from past practice, and knowledge of them has raised concerns about politicization of the military's top ranks. Trump has not always respected the long-standing tradition of walling off the military from partisan politics. In June, Trump took the rare step of mobilizing the National Guard and then the Marines, sending hundreds of them into Los Angeles over the objections of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat with whom the president has feuded politically. Trump followed up with a campaign-style rally at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, where uniformed soldiers cheered as he criticized former President Joe Biden, Newsom and other Democrats — raising concerns that Trump was using the military as a political prop. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., an Army veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the meetings 'very welcome reform.' 'I've long advocated for presidents to meet with 4-star nominees. President Trump's most important responsibility is commander-in-chief,' Cotton wrote in a post on X. 'The military-service chiefs and combatant commanders are hugely consequential jobs' and 'I commend President Trump and Secretary Hegseth for treating these jobs with the seriousness they deserve.' The New York Times, which first reported on the practice, said it had been initiated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
