US President Donald Trump has posted a falsified image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, waving before boarding an Air Force One that had been spray-painted with graffiti.
It came months after another racist post by the president that showed the couple as primates in a jungle. That one was deleted after stiff, bipartisan backlash.
The latest image, posted on Sunday (local time), shows the Obamas smiling and waving at the top of stairs alongside a baby blue and white presidential plane with graffiti painted on it that included the Democrat's campaign slogan Yes We Can, Obama and BLM, short for Black Lives Matter. The post also shows graffiti in Arabic on the plane that says the phrase alhamdulillah, which means praise be to God or thank God.
The use of graffiti is a coded message to remind people of crime and urban decay and has been used in racist messaging against Black people in the past.
Trump has a years-long record of intensely personal criticism of the Obamas, and of using incendiary, sometimes racist, rhetoric. That included everything from feeding the lie that Obama was not born in the United States to crude generalizations about majority-Black countries and posts that have sparked anger on his Truth Social website.

Trump is Obama’s opposite on many levels. Obama set a high bar for integrity, honesty and humility. Words not found in Trump’s vocabulary. No human is perfect, Obama included. Trump is incapable
of demonstrating basic integrity or empathy. We get what we vote for.
That's right, he's (Trump) the right president for this time. 2 more yrs. and hopefully your cured from TDS.
Trump is jealous. Just like many people that can not accept Obama being a smart cookie.
TDS is what YOU suffer from. Your inability to pry yourself loose from the conman. You witness orange Jesus destroying the US and wreaking havoc everywhere else and you still cling to him like he's your savior. You have a serious case of lack of self-esteem. Trump is a cancer on our planet. He'll be placed into remission in the near future.
What did Obama do in 8 consecutive years in office?
How is Trump destroying the US? If things are so bad what the hell are you doing here? There are many countries with great presidents you can move to. Why not try Mexico?
