President Donald Trump has posted a manipulated image on his Truth Social platform showing former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama appearing to board an Air Force One aircraft covered in graffiti, marking the latest in a series of altered images targeting his predecessor.

The image depicts the Obamas smiling and waving while standing at the top of the aircraft stairs beside a light blue and white presidential plane that has been digitally altered with graffiti. The markings include the slogans "Yes We Can," "Obama," and "BLM," referring to Black Lives Matter. Another inscription, written in Arabic, reads "alhamdulillah," meaning "praise be to God" or "thank God."

Latest in a Series of Posts

The post comes several months after Trump shared another altered image portraying the Obamas as primates in a jungle. That post, published during the first week of Black History Month, was deleted following widespread criticism from civil rights groups and members of both major political parties.

Although the post was later blamed on a staff member, Trump declined to apologize for it.

Trump has long directed personal criticism at Obama, including promoting the false claim that the former president was not born in the United States. He has also drawn criticism over remarks and social media posts that opponents have described as racially inflammatory.

The use of graffiti in the latest image has also attracted attention, with critics arguing it evokes stereotypes linking Black communities with crime and urban decay.

Air Force One in the Spotlight

The manipulated image was shared days after Trump flew for the first time aboard a newly retrofitted Boeing 747-800 that is serving as Air Force One. The aircraft, valued at about $400 million and gifted by Qatar, features a redesigned exterior that replaces the traditional light blue paint scheme with Trump's preferred navy-blue underside and red and gold stripes.

Trump had no public events on Sunday after delivering a speech in Washington the previous evening to mark Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He spent the day at his golf club in Virginia before preparing to travel to Turkey on Monday for a NATO summit.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and a spokesperson for the Obamas also declined to comment.

More Doctored Images Shared

Sunday's post followed another manipulated image Trump shared last month depicting Obama's presidential library in Chicago with what appeared to be a large bag of rubbish on its roof and a surrounding wasteland. Trump claimed the library would become a "Mecca" for people who hate America and posted the altered image twice on Truth Social.

Among Sunday's other posts was an old photograph that appeared to show Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni smiling at Trump beneath the caption "RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED."

The post comes after Trump claimed Meloni repeatedly asked to have her photograph taken with him during the recent G7 summit. Meloni rejected the account as "completely fabricated," saying neither she nor Italy had begged for a photo. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani subsequently cancelled a planned visit to Washington.

Oh Donald, Donald, Donald!

Your unhealthy focus on Barack and Michelle Obama is difficult to ignore, especially when it's expressed through repeatedly altered images, each presented as if it were meaningful political commentary.

When these fabrications are presented as factual commentary, they operate less as political argument and more as a sustained projection of unresolved grievances, made evident by the persistent fixation on the same two individuals.

Your reliance on manipulated visuals rather than verifiable events also suggests that the purpose is perversely symbolic rather than substantive.

And when this approach expands into claims about foreign leaders, that those leaders immediately deny, the resulting diplomatic consequences, such as Italy postponing a Washington visit speak for themselves.

Racist scum.

So what else is new?

Americans voted for this moron.

Had Kamala and Hillary won;

1. The Straight of Hormuz would still be open.

2. Hundreds of people would not have been killed in Iran

3. Food prices in the US would not be at an all-time high

4. Schools would not be forcing Christianity on children

5. Hundreds, if not thousands of people who legally entered the US, and awaiting green cards, would not be rotting in Central American prisons

6. Most importantly, America would still be the United States of America
   Get rid of this criminal in the white house.

My previously disputed age comment stands. This is not the work of a three-year old. At least five!

No, just almost any scum would be better than Kamala and Hillary scum.

Or do you feel Kamala and Hillary are representative of all women?

Thats hilarious.

Try not to have a heart attack about this. Perhaps a walk and a cold beer would help?

No they are not just jokes, but it would be a waste of time explaining that to one of his brainwashed cult disciples.

Sometimes it is interesting to see into the minds of the liberals, and it is frightening.

Obama was asked on the "All the Smoke" podcast with former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson about how the Trump administration is "still very fascinated" with him and how he responds to the "negativity and the racism" thrown his way.

"You got to ask him what it is that...the obsession," Obama said. "I obviously have a room in his head, a suite in his head."

Yep, Obama does live rent free in a huge apartment in poor Donny's little orange head.

I'm waiting for Meloni to smash him in the nuts.

The idiot should know better than to mess with Italian women -- hasn't he ever seen an Anna Magnani movie?

When I see a silly post like yours, two Trump quotes come to mind:

"I love the poorly educated" Trump, 2016

"Smart people don't like me." Trump, 2025

The shoe fits. Slip it on, Cinderella.

Trump lied in his bank loan documents about the size of his Trump Tower apartment, claiming it was 30,000 sf when it was only about 11,000 sf. That was part of his 34 felony convictions.

On second thought, maybe it wasn't lying, but confusion of a demented old curmudgeon. The 30,000 sf apartment is the place Barack Obama lives rent free in Trump's otherwise empty noggin.

Notice how he didn't say it again. I think it was during the brief moment when he brought in GOP shepherd Frank Luntz. He also shortly thereafter fired Luntz with the full insult treatment.

That was part of the NY State civil fraud trial.

My favorite Trumpism:

Reporter “Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus ...?"

Trump: “Suspending who?”

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see this one. The answers can be found at the gas pump, the supermarket, and the drug store. We've been screwed over badly by an administration more interested in increasing the family bank account and self-aggrandizing than improving the lives of American citizens.
And that's not how the Founders planned America's growth, or how that goal has been achieved by past presidents. They didn't con the gullible Americans.

But he doesn't have a great sense of humor does he, much like yourself if this is funny? It doesn't matter what side of the political divide one sits, jokes based on one POV are only funny to one side so if you are telling gags and half the room isn't laughing you are failing. Check out KhunLAs gags on the Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts) thread as a case in point.
