Donald Trump posted an image Sunday morning on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and several of his top national security officials dressed in orange prison jumpsuits, in what appears to be a direct threat against a former president and his allies.
The image, styled as a Brady Bunch-style grid of mugshots, showed Obama — labeled "Barack Hussein Obama" — alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former UN Ambassador Samantha Power, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, who was labeled 'Ben "Hamas" Rhodes.' The graphic was captioned with, "The Shady Bunch."
"This is a bad (Sick!) group of people," Trump wrote. "Very destructive to our great Nation. Caused tremendous damage through Weaponization! President DJT"
The post comes as Trump's Justice Department has moved aggressively against perceived political enemies. Trump has repeatedly suggested — without evidence — that Obama-era officials engaged in illegal surveillance and other misconduct against his 2016 campaign, a conspiracy theory his supporters refer to as "Obamagate."
