President Donald Trump has posted a bizarre meme of himself and Vice President JD Vance chasing down Barack Obama in a recreation OJ Simpson’s infamous 1994 police chase.
In the picture, Obama drives a white Ford Bronco, trailed closely by six police cars. In the two closest cars, Trump is pictured in the driver’s seat of one, with Vance in the other.
While Trump is all smiles in his photo, he has chosen a less flattering picture of his VP, with Vance depicted as bloated and with long curly hair.
Vance didn’t take the unflattering picture to heart, sharing the meme to his own X account and adding a laughing emoji.
The post he shared read ‘look closer at JD’s face. No way!’
Trump offered no explanation for the meme, but it came amid his latest attack on Obama in an effort to shift criticism of his handling of the Epstein files onto his predecessors.
He has repeatedly tried to distance his administration from his campaign promise to release Epstein’s client list and investigate his cause of death after Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed no such list exists and confirmed he did die by suicide.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also released a declassified report allegedly implicating Obama and his administration of 2016 election interference that accused Trump of colluding with Moscow.

Trump has accused Obama of treason, while Obama issued a statement denying any allegations.
His latest post was a bizarre reference to a famous picture of retired NFL star Simpson, who at the time was accused of killing his ex-wife and her friend.
Simpson was sensationally acquitted of the alleged murders during what was dubbed the ‘trial of the century.’ The decision is still considered controversial 30 years later.
Trump’s fixation on Obama’s alleged crimes came after being asked yet another question about Jeffrey Epstein – a matter that is itself so explosive that House Republican leaders sent members home on recess, thereby avoiding a difficult vote on the issue.
‘I don’t follow it too much,’ he said of the Epstein matter, before immediately turning the tables on Obama.

Even as Trump tries to paint Obama as a criminal, the Supreme Court ruled in a monumental 2024 decision that the President of the United States has immunity from prosecution for official acts in office, in a case argued by lawyers on Trump’s behalf.
Trump was asked if ‘presidential immunity’ would apply to Obama before his trip to Scotland on Friday and the president didn’t deny it, going as far as to say he’d done his predecessor a favor.
‘He has done criminal acts, no question about it. But he has immunity and it probably helps him a lot. He owes me big. Obama owes me big,’ Trump said.

Simpson faced court during what was dubbed the ‘trial of the century’ and was sensationally acquitted of the alleged murders – a decision which is still considered controversial 30 years later
The ex-president’s team argued in late 2023 that Trump, and any president, must have absolute immunity from prosecution over actions taken while in office or it could impair important decision-making.
The 6-3 decision split along the court’s ideological lines ensures that Trump will not face another blockbuster trial anytime soon – with the case sent back to a lower court to determine what is considered his ‘official’ versus ‘unofficial’ acts.
Obama spoke out about the case via his spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush earlier this week, refuting many of the accusations circling around him.
‘The bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,’ Rodenbush noted.

‘These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio,’ Rodenbush concluded.
GOP leadership in both the House and Senate are pursuing investigations into members of the Biden and Obama administrations as they fend off clamoring calls for transparency in the Epstein scandal enveloping the Trump administration.
Democrats have portrayed the reintroduction of the ‘Russian hoax’ saga as a way for the Trump Administration to distract from the demands around Epstein.
Trump has repeatedly shared outrageous memes since his return to the White House, including making himself the Pope after the death of Pope Francis and sharing an AI video of his vision for Gaza complete with bizarre bearded belly dancers and a statue of himself.
