Summary
On July 7, 2026, President Donald Trump posted a doctored image to his Truth Social account depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama beside an Air Force One covered in graffiti. The manipulated image shows the Obamas smiling and waving from an aircraft stairway, while the presidential plane is digitally altered to include graffiti such as Obama’s 2008 campaign slogan ‘Yes We Can,’ ‘BLM,’ and Arabic script reading ‘alhamdulillah.’ The Associated Press described the image as falsified and noted that graffiti has historically been used in racially charged messaging. The White House and representatives for the Obamas did not respond to requests for comment at the time of reporting.
