Trump shares doctored photo of Obamas beside graffiti‑covered Air Force One

cultureJul 6, 202615318

President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a falsified image showing former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama waving as they boarded an Air Force One that had been spray-painted with graffiti reading "Yes We Can," "Obama," "BLM," and the Arabic phrase "alhamdulillah". The image revived controversy after a February post in which Trump depicted the Obamas as primates; that earlier post was deleted after bipartisan backlash and was blamed on a staffer. The use of graffiti in the image echoes a long-running racist tactic linking graffiti to crime and urban decay, a point highlighted by civil rights commentators. The photo came days after Trump took the maiden flight on a newly retrofitted Boeing 747-800 presidential plane valued at $400 million and featuring a darker color scheme favored by Trump. The White House and the Obamas did not immediately comment. The doctored image was one of several altered photos Trump circulated Sunday, and the posts risk fueling fresh controversy ahead of his trip Monday to Turkey for a NATO summit.

Gee, it’s almost as if Trump hates black people. NARRATOR: There is plenty of evidence that Trump is a total racist asshole.

It was a racist photo but I noticed that you didn’t mention that in the headline.

Appreciate CTV using plain language and not putting in the "some say" type bullshit.

It never ends bc he’s a sociopath incensed by the fact that Obama is both the better president and the better man. He has no play but being a racist asshat at which he excels

WOULD SOME NEWS ORGANIZATION TREAT THIS AS IT SHOULD BE TREATED? -->President Donald Trump posted a doctored photo defaming his predecessor, President Barack Obama, and his wife. Trump regularly posts doctored and AI-produced graphics with racist and Nazi content. He is unfit for office.

I won’t post the image but yes it’s disgustingly racist trash I’m used to seeing from this man. He is a bigot, a fascist and a convicted criminal. When this is over, we will rip his name down off everything.

can we just cut to the part of the movie where trump stands outside the obama library with a boombox over his head

Zoomer Antimillenarian40

Dude will never, ever get over the fact that Obama does not respect him.

This loser shit. The loser President knows he's losing and Obama will always be more popular than him.

Seriously. Fuck this racist, rapist loser. What do we have to do? Who do we have to pay to make him go away?

This week Trump posted racist imagery of the Obamas, hijacked Taylor Swift's wedding billboard, declared himself a FIFA expert, and blamed vandals for the Reflecting Pool. Iran negotiations are collapsing. Inflation is at 4.1%. Tariffs cost households $700 this year. The pool remains green.

Why can't I find the doctored post by Trump in which he falsely shows the Obamas boarding Airforce 1, covered in graffiti? Lots of stories about it, but the media is hiding the actual post ... Why? MSM: Stop protecting Trump! Let us see his evil without your filter. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

He’s a disgusting, jealous pig. He cannot stand the fact that HILL always be rational matter how much gold he surrounds himself with. He knows already the Obama‘s are royalty in America and he’s a piece of fucking shit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Reminder from February 2026: ‘I didn’t make a mistake’: Trump says he won’t apologize for racist post about Obama That's a headline from AP about depicting the Obamas as primates. Did any major news outlet call upon him to resign? Or anyone in Congress attempt to impeach him for it? Yeah, no.

"Trump targets Obamas again with doctored image posted on social media." The image contained graffiti which is "coded to remind people of crime and urban decay and has been used in racist messaging against Black people in the past." www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

I have a Truth Social account that I seldom use, I only logon to verify that Trump really posted something I saw your post. So I logged onto Truth Social& saw Trump posted all of these images at 4:51pm, insulting Hilary Clinton, the Obamas & Meloni I wish the media would shine a spotlight on this!

Trump can try to smear the Obamas all he wants but he will never measure up to them. Money can’t buy what the Obamas have - respect, integrity, widespread international admiration and appreciation for their diplomacy, charisma, and public initiatives.

How loved Obama is, and how much more intelligent and refined the Obamas are. Trump hates being compared and always found wanting. And I love that for him.

If the Obamas had refinanced their home for a better interest rate while he was in office, Fox News would STILL be talking about it. Meanwhile, Trump and Melania BOTH launched their own crypto coins and bilked over a million people out of $4B, while they pocketed hundreds of millions themselves.

does Trump think the Obamas know Arabic and could write الحمد لله (Alhamdulillah - praise to God) on "their" plane? Of course the Obamas would write OBAMA on the plane because Trump likes to put his name on everything.
