Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump can’t stop posting Instagram videos that mash up footage of Democrats laughing with images of Islamic State terror attacks.

The latest Trump Instagram video was released Monday and showed footage of President Barack Obama pulling faces between clips of Islamic State threats and the aftermath of the Paris attacks.

Trump has previously attacked Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, combining video of her laughing or dancing with footage of the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

In his latest video, Trump used clips of Obama smiling in a mirror, taking a picture with a selfie stick and goofing around in the White House that were taken from an interview with BuzzFeed News earlier this year.

“They’re a bunch of killers with good social media,” Obama can be heard saying of the Islamic State in Trump’s video. He made that comment last week in a news conference in Malaysia.

The video then cuts to a soundbite from the BuzzFeed interview, in which the President mocks a popular conservative meme: “Thanks Obama.”

Watch the video:

We need a great leader- now!

  1. Jesus Fucking Christ. There is no bottom to the Trump scum barrel.

  2. It’s difficult to deny Trump is the President this nation deserves. Pissing away a trillion dollars in the desert and bombing Afghan weddings and street fairs merits some sort of retribution.

    I wonder how the Trump would react to such a blatantly slanderous mashup about him being put out there. To those of you with the skills and the materials, get to it!

  4. Has anyone bothered to mention to Donald that he would not be running against President Obama?

  5. Wow. I had dismissed the “revenge” theory people were bandying about…i.e., that Trump is really out to get Obama for the jokes he told…but this has finally gotten to the point where I have to give that some small credence. This is just plain old fucked up behavior. There’s no call for it whatsoever and it’s totally disgusting. I really can’t imagine anyone going there other than because of some sort of personalized, internalized enmity based on feeling “wronged” or “slighted” somehow. I’m never one to talk about the POTUS deserving respect simply “because POTUS” or to engage in the rhetorical nonsense about “respect for the office,” but this goes beyond the pale as an attack on POTUS or even just an attack on Obama the man.

    Nobody’s laughing at ISIS attacks or any other attacks.

    #NOBODY.
