Reported AI-Manipulated Video Depicts Donald Trump Endorsing Peter Obi and Criticizing Bola Tinubu

August 4, 2024

A viral video, initially fact-checked as false by FactCheckAfrica, purports to show former U.S. President Donald Trump endorsing Nigerian politician Peter Obi and criticizing President Bola Tinubu. The deception is attributed to AI manipulation of the original 2017 U.S. presidential interview audio and visuals, creating a politically charged narrative unrelated to the source material.
