[Report] According to the “Beast Daily” in the United States, on the 26th, President Trump shared a meme on social media featuring a parody of former President Obama driving a white Ford Mustang during his escape from the murder trial in 1994. Trump himself and Vice President Pence played the role of police chasing Obama.
The report mentioned that Trump posted this meme on Instagram and its own social media platform. The image was modified by Pence, which originated from a meme trend popular on social media several months ago.
The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry about Trump’s actions.
The “Beast Daily” reported that Trump’s move seemed to echo a statement made by National Intelligence Director Tulsidaq Gabbard last week. Gabbard had previously accused some officials from the Obama administration of being “involved in a conspiracy to commit treason” for handling the Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
Trump himself took to social media on July 19 and 20, directly accusing Obama of “treason,” stating, “Obama abused power to manipulate the intelligence system, harming the foundation of American democracy.” He demanded a thorough investigation. In response, the Obama camp accused the accusations as “absurd and without factual basis,” as “a blatant political manipulation,” emphasizing that the conclusions of the “Russiagate” investigation have been confirmed across party lines. They criticized Trump for creating “false narratives” for election interests.
Analysts suggest that Trump’s move could be a means of diverting domestic policy debates. Recently, Trump has been under constant public pressure due to tariff policies, spending cuts, and the Epstein list among other topics, making high-profile accusations against Obama to create new issues and divert attention.
It was reported that the incident occurred in June 1994 when Simpson was being pursued by Los Angeles police for allegedly murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson himself attempted to avoid arrest. As a result, police conducted a globally watched chase on the Southern California highway for several hours. Simpson’s friend Al Cowlings drove the vehicle, while Simpson sat in the back. The television broadcast of the chase reportedly attracted around 100 million viewers. In the end, Simpson surrendered to the police. In 1995, Simpson was acquitted of all charges due to insufficient evidence, causing widespread outrage.
