Trump makes wild accusation against Barack Obama in new tweet - people are asking whether it's real
In a series of late-night posts on his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump unleashed another round of controversial and unverified claims, including a startling accusation against Barack Obama.
The allegations stirred up confusion and concern among political observers and the public, with many questioning the truth behind Trump's latest statements.
Trump, who has made a habit of promoting conspiracy theories, took to his platform to accuse Obama of treason. His posts included a video where Trump claimed Obama had been caught "absolutely cold" trying to "rig" elections.
In the video, Trump also implicated Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey in the alleged scheme. Trump claimed, "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader," without providing any evidence to support the accusation.
Claims made without evidence
Trump’s accusation, which he amplified by labeling Obama’s actions as “treason,” was not based on any credible evidence. As of now, no substantial proof has emerged to back up his assertions.
The president also posted a bizarre conspiracy, alleging that China, Iran, Italy, Merrill Lynch, the CIA, and others all worked with Obama to "install Biden as a puppet."
This unsubstantiated claim fits into the broader pattern of Trump’s ongoing attempts to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election and discredit his political opponents.
Trump’s posts also referenced other unverified claims, such as an assertion about Walmart closing 250 stores in California due to the state's minimum wage.
That claim has already been debunked. Despite this, Trump continued to make statements aimed at California and its Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, who is reportedly considering a run for president in 2028.
Backlash from political figures
Trump's social media outburst has sparked concern from various quarters, with some calling for a calmer approach to the nation’s political climate, especially in light of recent violence in Minneapolis.
In the midst of these turbulent events, his latest online activity has drawn criticism for further stoking division and confusion.
Trump’s posts are also raising questions about his credibility, as they often promote unfounded or discredited claims.
Political figures from both sides of the aisle have expressed alarm at his disregard for facts and the potential harm his rhetoric could cause to the public discourse.
Whether or not his accusations have any factual basis, they have certainly added fuel to an already polarized political atmosphere.
