Former US President Donald Trump has set social media ablaze with a bizarre AI-generated video showing his predecessor Barack Obama behind bars, accompanied by a late-night rant targeting his political enemies.
The Controversial Clip
The unsettling footage, which surfaced overnight on Trump's social media platform, uses artificial intelligence to depict Obama in an orange prison jumpsuit - imagery strikingly similar to Trump's own mugshot from his Georgia election case.
Overnight Social Media Storm
Trump's post included a lengthy caption accusing Obama and other political opponents of unspecified crimes, continuing his pattern of inflammatory rhetoric against those he perceives as adversaries. The timing of the post - in the early hours of the morning - has raised eyebrows among political commentators.
AI and Political Messaging
This incident marks one of the most high-profile uses of AI technology in political messaging, blurring ethical lines about the use of synthetic media in public discourse. Experts warn such content could further erode trust in political institutions.
The video has drawn swift condemnation from Democrats while receiving mixed reactions from Republican circles, with some allies distancing themselves from the provocative content.
