'This Was Treason': Trump Jabs Obama With OJ Simpson Meme Amid New Russia Probe Allegations
President Trump has accused former President Obama of treason and shared an OJ Simpson meme along with a deepfake video showing Obama being arrested by the FBI, amid renewed inquiries.
US President Donald Trump has reignited his long-running feud with Barack Obama—this time using a meme that quickly caught fire online. The image, originally shared by Donald Trump Jr. and later reposted by Trump himself, reimagines the infamous 1994 OJ Simpson police chase. In this altered version, Obama is depicted as the fugitive in a white Ford Bronco, while Trump gives chase in a police cruiser.
But it wasn’t just the two presidents who stole the spotlight. The meme also featured a surprising cameo from JD Vance, Trump’s newly announced vice-presidential pick. Vance appears in a second squad car trailing the pursuit, sporting his long-haired, college-era look that’s already become a meme of its own. His throwback appearance reignited a wave of online chatter, giving the meme a second viral surge far beyond its original political jab.
AI Video Shows Obama Being Arrested
Trump didn’t stop there. Alongside the meme, he also posted an AI-generated video showing Obama being handcuffed by FBI agents in the Oval Office, as Trump watches with a smug grin. While some online users found the video amusing, others raised alarms over the deepfake’s implications—especially in an election year where misinformation is already a growing concern.
These provocative posts surfaced as Trump amplified accusations about the origins of the Russia investigation. Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence and a former Democratic presidential contender, claims to possess more than 100 documents allegedly showing that senior Obama administration officials—potentially under Obama’s direct instruction—fabricated the Russia collusion narrative to undermine Trump following his 2016 victory.

According to Gabbard, the documents were first compiled in 2020 but remained classified until recently. She now intends to hand them over to both the Department of Justice and the FBI, alleging that political motivations tainted the intelligence process and that sources were selectively curated to fit a narrative.
Trump Escalates: “This Was Treason”
In a fiery statement, Trump didn’t mince words, directly accusing Obama of treason.
“It’s there, he’s guilty. This was treason,” Trump declared. “The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold... They tried to rig the election and they got caught—and there should be very severe consequences for that.”
The claim marks one of Trump’s most serious public accusations yet against his predecessor and signals an escalation in his broader campaign narrative heading into the 2024 election cycle.
A spokesperson for Obama swiftly dismissed Trump’s comments, calling them “a bizarre and ridiculous allegation” and “a weak attempt at distraction.”
As the political temperature rises and the use of AI blurs the lines between satire and disinformation, one thing is clear: the digital battlefield is heating up—and it’s becoming harder than ever to separate spectacle from strategy.
