In a whirlwind of political drama, recent headlines and viral videos have ignited speculation about former President Barack Obama being arrested under orders from Donald Trump. But the truth is far more complex—and controversial.
The rumors stem from a series of AI-generated videos shared by President Trump on social media, depicting a fictional arrest of Obama to the tune of “YMCA.” These videos, while clearly fabricated, were posted in tandem with explosive claims by Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence. Gabbard alleges that Obama and top intelligence officials—including James Comey, John Brennan, and James Clapper—engineered a “treasonous conspiracy” to delegitimize Trump’s 2016 election victory.
Gabbard’s office recently declassified over 100 documents, which she claims show that intelligence was manipulated to fabricate the Russia collusion narrative. According to her, this was a coordinated effort by Obama’s administration to sabotage Trump before leaving office. She has referred these findings to the FBI and DOJ for criminal investigation.
Despite the dramatic imagery and serious accusations, no legal action has been taken against Obama. The arrest scenario remains purely fictional, part of a broader campaign by Trump and his allies to frame the Obama-era intelligence community as corrupt and politically motivated.
This episode underscores the escalating tensions in American politics, where AI-generated media and partisan narratives blur the line between reality and spectacle. Whether Gabbard’s claims lead to actual prosecutions or fade into political theater remains to be seen—but the implications are undeniably historic.
