Trump shares AI video showing Obama arrest amid renewed attacks on Obama-era officials
US President Donald Trump speaks at a dinner with Republican Senators, in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., US, July 18, 2025. Photo: Reuters President Donald Trump on Sunday shared an AI-generated video falsely portraying former President Barack Obama being arrested and imprisoned, as part of a broader push to revive claims of misconduct by the Obama administration. The video, originally created by a pro-MAGA TikTok user, was posted to Trump's Truth Social account. It features manipulated footage of Obama being taken into custody by the FBI during a 2016 meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, followed by scenes showing him in a prison jumpsuit. The footage is set to the Village People's 'YMCA,' a song frequently used at Trump rallies. The video post came amid a broader campaign by Trump and his allies to reignite allegations against Obama-era officials. Over the weekend, Trump posted repeatedly about claims made by his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. On Friday, Gabbard announced she had referred several Obama-era officials to the Justice Department for prosecution, alleging they manipulated intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election. She claimed newly declassified documents showed that the Obama administration 'politicized intelligence' to lay the groundwork for what she described as a 'years-long coup' against Trump. Many Democrats have strongly rejected those allegations. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, called the accusations unfounded and said it was 'an effort to cook the books.' 🚨 JUST IN: President Trump posted an AI video of Barack Obama being ARRESTED by FBI and rotting in a prison cell MAKE THIS A REALITY, @AGPamBondi! 🔥 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 20, 2025 Some critics, including within Trump's base, have questioned the timing of the announcement, suggesting it was an attempt to divert attention from renewed scrutiny over the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Despite that, Trump doubled down on his attacks, also posting edited images of former Obama officials in orange jumpsuits and suggesting Democratic Senator Adam Schiff should be imprisoned. Trump, who was convicted in May 2024 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, is currently appealing the verdict. Nevertheless, he continues to use his platform to push narratives against his political opponents—now increasingly with AI-generated media.

Who is Alexis Wilkins? Kash Patel's Girlfriend at the Center of Mossad and Marriage Conspiracy Theories
A wave of online conspiracy theories has dragged country music singer Alexis Wilkins into the spotlight after she was linked to FBI Director Kash Patel. Critics, primarily from pro-MAGA circles, have accused Wilkins of having hidden ties and claimed Patel was secretly married and divorced—a claim unsupported by any public records. The controversy began after the Department of Justice and FBI officially closed the Epstein case, maintaining that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that no client list existed. This fueled fresh speculation online, with one theory alleging that Wilkins, who has been dating Patel since early 2023, had links to Israel's Mossad—similar to those claimed about Epstein. Wilkins strongly denied these claims. In a public statement, she said she has always acted with integrity and refused anything that would compromise her values. "It's disappointing to see people spin ridiculous conspiracy theories for social media engagement," she wrote. She also urged people to research her life and judge based on facts—highlighting her career, faith, and relationship. One post on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that Wilkins was involved with Patel while he was still married and even accused him of paying $2 million in a secret divorce settlement to someone named Ritika Chaudhary. However, several users quickly debunked these claims, pointing out there is no evidence or official record of Patel being married. The allegations appear to stem from politically motivated misinformation rather than any verified facts. As of now, no documentation supports the idea that Patel was ever married or divorced. Both Patel and Wilkins have kept their relationship open to the public, attending events together, including when Patel was sworn in as FBI Director. While social media continues to be a breeding ground for baseless theories, official records and statements from those involved paint a very different picture—one rooted in transparency rather than secrecy.

Trump Booed at MAGA's Big Night Out at the Kennedy Center
Donald and Melania Trump got a loud wake-up call while holding court at the grand opening of the new pro-MAGA Kennedy Center on Wednesday night. They were greeted with a chorus of boos when they stepped out from their box in the auditorium on Wednesday for the first night of Les Misérables. The audience of 2,300 was packed with MAGA-friendly figures, including Vice President JD Vance, second lady Usha Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his wife Cheryl Hines. The pro-Trump contingent in the audience responded to the jeers by cheering and chanting 'USA! USA!' The Trumps, who were seated in a private box emblazoned with a presidential seal, stepped into the spotlight before waving down from their elevated position to the assembled masses. The mixed reception comes two months after the Vances were subjected to boos and heckles at the center, which has become a culture war touch point since Trump's re-election. Since taking over as chair of the Kennedy Center in February, Trump personally selected the entire board of trustees in his attempt to stamp out 'woke' productions at the iconic venue. 'They asked me to be chairman, I've got a lot of other things going on but it's a great honor,' Trump said on the red carpet before the pair went inside to watch Les Mis. He told Fox News last week that the musical was one of his favorites. 'I love the songs, I love the play. I think it's great,' he said. 'We may extend it.' It's unclear if his enthusiasm will survive the hostility from some people in the crowd. As part of efforts to upend the liberal institution, Trump appointed Usha Vance to the board along with Bondi, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and Fox News host Laura Ingraham. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has spent the week attacking Trump, also took aim on his X account. Newsom was one of many to point out the irony of Trump putting on a production of Les Misérables. The musical tackles themes of public rebellion and showcases the struggles of the poor and the injustices of society. 'Someone explain the plot to him,' Newsom posted on Wednesday.

In the last few weeks, former President Joe Biden has seemingly been on Donald Trump's mind A LOT. Earlier this week, Trump went on a mini-rant in the Oval Office, calling Biden "vicious," and most recently, he took to Truth Social to repost a strange conspiracy theory about the former president. On Saturday night, Trump took to Truth Social to repost a conspiracy theory from a pro-MAGA account about Biden supposedly being "executed in 2020" and replaced by "clone doubles." The original post reads: "There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference," followed by dozens of political hashtags.
