Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 06, 2026

President Donald Trump on Sunday 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 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.

It's like being around a gaggle of snarky middle school boys en route to perpetual goondom who think they're cool because nobody will associate with them.

Donald's doing this sort of thing because he knows how Obama is remembered, and he knows how he himself is going to be remembered.

Trump's mental illness tortures him on this account. His last word as he dies will be "Obama". And no one will confuse that with a boyhood sled.
