Obama was front and center through the whole posting spree, with Trump sharing conspiracy theories, arrest fantasies, and accusations of treason that sounded like somebody handed a cable news comment section an energy drink at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>The late-night flood began around 10:14 p.m. on May 11 and continued until after 1 a.m. on May 12. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/03\/trump-approval-ratings-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post\/ABC News\/Ipsos pol<\/a>l found that 59% of Americans believe Trump lacks the mental capacity to lead the country, and honestly, a three-hour overnight posting marathon about Obama probably is not helping calm anybody down.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this obsession has been hanging around for 15 years, including birtherism, wiretapping claims, and AI-generated arrest videos. At this point, Trump and Obama have one of the longest-running rivalries in modern politics, except this one somehow keeps getting stranger every season.<\/p>\n<h2>55 Posts, Three Hours, And One Very Familiar Target<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"truthsocial-embed\" style=\"max-width: 100%; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/trump-has-been-obsessed-with-obama-for-15-years-his-latest-overnight-posting-spree-shows-its-only-escalating\/about:blank\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/116559317299457396\/embed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe class=\"truthsocial-embed\" style=\"max-width: 100%; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/116559317299457396\/embed\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nMost of the posts were reposts from supporters and MAGA personalities, plus several AI-generated memes tossed into the mix for dramatic effect.

Incarcerate them all at once for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government. But first, Barack Obama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another post labeled Obama \u201cthe most DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades,\u201d while several others falsely accused Obama and his allies of rigging both the 2016 and 2020 elections. Trump also widened the target list to Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey, because apparently, the reunion tour was expanding.<\/p>\n<p>Then Tuesday morning arrived, and Trump was somehow still going.

He publicly questioned whether Obama was born in the United States, claiming he had investigators in Hawaii digging into Obama\u2019s birth records, which already sounded wild even before social media became what it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Obama released his long-form birth certificate in April 2011. Then, just days later, he stepped onto the stage at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2011\/05\/01\/135891299\/roast-trump-served-at-white-house-dinner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> roasted Trump directly<\/a> while Trump sat in the audience looking deeply unamused. Obama mocked Trump\u2019s presidential ambitions and his role on Celebrity Apprentice, and the whole thing became political pop canon immediately.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Watch Obama roast Trump\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HHckZCxdRkA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s former chief speechwriter<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/jon-favreau-obama-trump-keeping-it-1600-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Jon Favreau later explained the strategy<\/a> behind the jokes, saying: \u201cWhat we wanted to accomplish more than anything was show people how absurd he was.\u201d Comedian Seth Meyers, who also roasted Trump that night, later approached him at a charity event to thank him for being a good sport.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s response was short and very on brand. He told Meyers: \u201cYou went too far.\u201d Trump did not formally acknowledge Obama was born in the United States until September 2016, and even then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/election-us-2016-37381452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the statement included no apology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>From \u201cObamagate\u201d To AI Arrest Videos, the Obama Fixation Just Kept Escalating<\/h2>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trump accuses Obama of treason over 2016 election probe, deflects Epstein question\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AFuaAq810nw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The accusations did not slow down after Trump entered office.

The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Things escalated even further in July 2025 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/07\/21\/us\/politics\/trump-fake-video-obama-arrest.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump posted an AI-generated<\/a> video showing FBI agents dragging Obama out of the Oval Office and throwing him into a jail cell while \u201cYMCA\u201d by the Village People played in the background.
