That image was later removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s new post shows the Obamas standing on the stairs of a blue-and-white aircraft, while smiling and waving. The aircraft itself has been spray-painted with the phrases \u201cYes We Can\u201d and \u201cBLM\u201d (Black Lives Matter). It also shows graffiti in Arabic on the plane, which reads \u201calhamdulillah,\u201d meaning \u201cpraise be to God\u201d or \u201cthank God,\u201d according to\u00a0PBS News.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-donald-trump-s-post-about-obama\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donald Trump\u2019s post about Obama<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, Trump also shared a manipulated image of Obama\u2019s presidential library in Chicago, depicting a giant bag of garbage on the roof and a neglected landscape surrounding the building. Alongside it,\u00a0he wrote:\u00a0\u201cThe Obama Library ten years from now will be a \u2018Mecca\u2019 for those who hate America! President DJT.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-f8426424763d0d43b0bbbf8fcd7fe1a5\" class=\"newsner-f8426424763d0d43b0bbbf8fcd7fe1a5 newsner-incide_content_once\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The altered image of the Obamas was just one of several posts Trump shared on Truth Social on Sunday, according to VT. In another, he reposted an older edited image that appears to show Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni smiling up at him beneath the caption: \u201cRESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With leaders set to meet in Turkey this week, the resurfaced image may once again become a talking point. Earlier, Trump claimed Meloni kept asking to take photos with him at the G7 summit, saying she wanted to be pictured with him because of his influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Shutterstock, Getty Images Donald Trump is facing accusations of racism after sharing another edited image featuring former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama on social media. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,1],"tags":[2,21,20],"class_list":["post-1248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-trending","tag-breaking-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-donaldtrump"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1249,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1248\/revisions\/1249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
