Obama on knees, handcuffed, in jail: Trump posts AI video of Obama after Tulsi Gabbard's claims of 'treasonous plot'
US President Donald Trump on Sunday posted an AI-generated video showing former President Barack Obama being arrested inside the Oval Office. The clip, widely circulated after being reshared from TikTok, was uploaded to Trump's Truth Social platform without any comment. The 45-second video opens with real footage of Obama stating, 'especially the President is above the law.' Other high-profile Democrats, including Joe Biden, are then shown saying, 'no one is above the law.'

A clown version of the meme Pepe the Frog honks its nose before the video cuts to a fabricated meeting between Trump and Obama in the Oval Office. FBI agents enter and arrest Obama, who is later seen in a jail cell wearing an orange jumpsuit. The arrest sequence plays to the tune of 'YMCA' by the Village People, a song Trump often uses at rallies. Deepfake or distraction? The clip has divided viewers. Trump supporters on Truth Social were quick to celebrate it. Nick Sortor, a right-wing commentator, wrote on X, 'MAKE THIS A REALITY,' tagging former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Live Events Critics, on the other hand, called it misleading and inflammatory. Some even suggested the timing wasn't a coincidence. The Gabbard factor The video appeared just after Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic Congresswoman and now Trump ally, made fresh allegations against the Obama administration. Speaking to Fox News, Gabbard said, 'The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic.' She added, '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 claims that the Obama administration politicised intelligence to fuel the narrative that Russia helped elect Trump. She stated the documents would be referred to the FBI and Department of Justice for possible criminal action. According to Gabbard, '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'.' She further argued, '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.' Democrats have dismissed Gabbard's claims as inaccurate and politically charged. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, a leading Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, responded by saying, 'It was one more example of the director of national intelligence trying to cook the books.' Meanwhile, some Trump supporters themselves questioned the timing, especially as the Trump administration faces continued scrutiny over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Critics argue the AI video and Gabbard's claims are being used to steer attention elsewhere. This is not the first time Trump has posted inflammatory material about his political opponents. On the same night, he also suggested jailing Democratic Senator Adam Schiff and shared digitally edited mugshots of former Obama-era officials like James Comey, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice, all shown in orange prison attire. The broader context is hard to ignore. In May 2024, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. It marked the first time a former US president was found guilty of felony crimes. He is currently appealing the verdict. A Supreme Court ruling in 2023 complicated things further. It held that presidents have immunity for official actions while in office, potentially shielding Trump — and past presidents — from prosecution for their conduct in the Oval Office.

Contrary to Trump's claims, Canadian border is not major source of fentanyl, U.S. report says
Article content Most of the fentanyl entering the United States continues to come from the southern border, not the northern one, according to a recent report by an American think-tank, despite President Donald Trump's statement on Thursday that Canadian authorities have failed 'to stop the drugs from pouring into our country.' Article content 'Countering supply effectively depends on understanding what the dominant drug-trafficking routes are,' says the report by the Manhattan Institute, which was published July 1. 'New data on fentanyl seizures presented here largely reinforce previous understanding that most IMF (illegally manufactured fentanyl) enters the U.S. from the south. These data call into question tariffs and other policies and policy justifications that treat the threat from the northern border as comparably severe.' Article content Donald J. Trump Truth Social 07.10.25 08:15 PM EST — Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) July 11, 2025 Article content Article content The report used new data regarding fentanyl seizures, which challenges public pronouncements made by Trump and the White House about the threats posed by the Canadian border. Authors Jon Caulkins and Bishu Giri write that such concerns are largely overstated and could even undermine America's ability to prioritize tightening the country's border with Mexico. Article content Article content The report looked at 'large' seizures of fentanyl — defined as over a kilogram of powder or more than 1,000 pills — that would suggest wholesale trafficking as opposed to smuggling for personal use. It found that officials made more large seizures in U.S. counties along the northern and southern borders when compared to the rest of the country. However, far more seizures were made in the south. Article content 'Counties along the Mexican border account for only 2.35 per cent of the U.S. population; but in 2023–24, they hosted about 40 per cent of the nationwide quantity of fentanyl appearing in large seizures, for both powder and pills,' says the executive summary of the Manhattan Institute's report. 'By contrast, counties in the lower 48 states that border Canada account for 3.1 per cent of the U.S. population but only 1.2 per cent of the powder and just 0.5 per cent of the pills obtained in large seizures.'

Trump 'terminating' trade talks with Canada over digital services tax
Article content OTTAWA — U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday he is putting an end to trade discussions with Canada because of the digital services tax moving ahead next week. Article content Article content 'We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with… has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country,' he wrote. Article content 'Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period.' Article content Article content Donald J. Trump Truth Social 06.27.25 01:44 PM EST — Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) June 27, 2025 Article content Article content Carney had already lowered expectations this week about reaching an agreement with Trump for an economic and security pact within 30 years, as agreed to during the G7 summit in Alberta, by saying 'the right deal is possible, but nothing's assured.' Article content The first payment for Canada's digital tax is due Monday, according to the Finance department, and covers revenue retroactively to 2022. The tax is three per cent of the digital services revenue a firm makes from Canadian users above $20 million in a year. Earlier this month, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said his government was moving ahead with the tax even though it remained an irritant with the United States. Article content 'That's the law in Canada. We had fairly long, extensive discussions at the G7 about the different regimes that you find in different parts of the world. That's not unique to Canada, by the way,' he said. Article content Article content Trump accused Canada of 'copying' the European Union (EU), which has many countries that also have a digital services tax in place. Article content Article content The EU is also in talks with the U.S. to avoid so-called 'reciprocal tariffs' of up to 50 per cent. Trump issued a deadline of July 9 to strike a deal but said in a press conference on Friday he could decide to extend the deadlines or make them shorter if he wanted to. Article content Trump said he has already made deals with a handful of countries on the world stage, including China and the United Kingdom, and was in the process of making some others.
