Donald Trump is facing accusations of racism after sharing another edited image featuring former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama on social media.
The post comes shortly after a different manipulated image triggered outrage by portraying the former first couple as apes in a jungle. That image was later removed.
Trump’s new post shows the Obamas standing on the stairs of a blue-and-white aircraft, while smiling and waving. The aircraft itself has been spray-painted with the phrases “Yes We Can” and “BLM” (Black Lives Matter). It also shows graffiti in Arabic on the plane, which reads “alhamdulillah,” meaning “praise be to God” or “thank God,” according to PBS News.
Donald Trump’s post about Obama
Last month, Trump also shared a manipulated image of Obama’s presidential library in Chicago, depicting a giant bag of garbage on the roof and a neglected landscape surrounding the building. Alongside it, he wrote: “The Obama Library ten years from now will be a ‘Mecca’ for those who hate America! President DJT.”
The altered image of the Obamas was just one of several posts Trump shared on Truth Social on Sunday, according to VT. In another, he reposted an older edited image that appears to show Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni smiling up at him beneath the caption: “RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED.”
With leaders set to meet in Turkey this week, the resurfaced image may once again become a talking point. Earlier, Trump claimed Meloni kept asking to take photos with him at the G7 summit, saying she wanted to be pictured with him because of his influence.
