Trump Shares and Deletes Controversial Obama Meme

February 6, 2026 | Lena Dorsey

Former President Donald Trump has reentered the controversial terrain of conspiracy theories, with his latest video once again stirring political discourse. Released online, the minute-long clip lambasted the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election, reigniting claims that have been dismissed by courts and election officials alike. Nearing the video's conclusion, the former president made a statement deemed racially insensitive, further inflaming tensions in an already charged political climate.

The video, punctuated by sweeping imagery and bleak narration, revisits familiar themes from Trump's post-election rhetoric. Accusations of widespread voter fraud and manipulation were reiterated, despite significant evidence to the contrary. Independent reviews and audits in key states have consistently upheld President Joe Biden's victory, a fact underscored by numerous officials across both party lines.

Trump's choice to once again lean into these unfounded theories seems to signal a continued strategy to galvanize his base. Political analysts suggest that by reigniting the fervor of 2020 election claims, Trump aims to sustain his influence over the Republican electorate. Yet, the inclusion of the racially charged comment risks alienating swaths of potential voters and further polarizing discourse within the party.

Concerns over the divisive nature of Trump's rhetoric have already sparked responses from various political figures and civil rights organizations. Many have called for a return to civility in political communication, warning that such rhetoric can have dire implications for societal cohesion. As the public reaction unfolds, the video stands as a testament to the enduring tumult of the nation's political landscape.
