President Trump posted a doctored image of the Obamas boarding a graffiti-covered Air Force One.
On Sunday, President Trump shared a falsified image on Truth Social showing Barack and Michelle Obama waving before boarding an Air Force One spray-painted with graffiti including 'BLM,' 'Yes We Can,' and Arabic script. The post followed a February incident where Trump shared a racist image of the Obamas as primates, which was deleted after bipartisan criticism.
