Watch: Donald Trump trolls Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton in new parody video

President-elect Donald Trump stirred controversy on Sunday (January 12) by posting a parody video on Truth Social, mocking Vice President Kamala Harris. The video, based on a viral clip from the memorial service of President Jimmy Carter, humorously reimagines a seemingly friendly interaction between Trump and former President Barack Obama that occurred on Thursday (January 9) at the National Cathedral. The lighthearted exchange raised questions about the nature of their conversation, which Trump later filled in with a satirical twist.

The original video from the funeral showed Obama and Trump sitting together, laughing and engaging in what appeared to be a warm and amicable conversation. The interaction, while seemingly harmless, caught the attention of viewers who speculated about the details of their discussion, especially given the political history between the two.

Trump, known for his sense of humor and sometimes controversial social media posts, took the opportunity to inject his own narrative into the moment. In the parody video, Trump dubbed fake audio over the real footage, creating a fictional conversation between him and Obama.

In the video, the dubbed Obama says, “I knew you’d win,” to which Trump’s faux reply is, “Oh really? Come on, anyone could beat her.” The “her” in this case refers to Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Trump defeated in the November election to retake the White House. The parody continues with the faux Obama commenting on his efforts to help Harris, but ultimately stating, “She was horrendous.”

Trump’s social media post didn’t stop with a jab at Harris. The video also took aim at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election. In the clip, the dubbed Trump says, “You know what I realized? Hillary still hates me so much. She’ll never forgive me,” as Obama chuckles in the background. The video then cuts to Clinton, who was also at the Carter funeral with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Trump reflected on the viral moment at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, discussing his real-life exchange with Obama. He explained that he didn’t initially realize how friendly the conversation had appeared. “I didn’t realize how friendly it looked until afterward. I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other,’” Trump said. “We probably do. I don’t know. We just got along. But I got along with just about everybody.”

Despite their ideological differences, Trump seemed to suggest that there was a mutual respect between him and Obama, with both of them having “different philosophies.” Trump also noted that he got along with many people during his time in office and after, reinforcing his tendency to connect with a wide range of individuals.

Trump’s social media antics came just months after he defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, regaining the presidency after his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. Harris had taken the lead in the Democratic Party following Biden’s decision to exit the race due to a disastrous debate performance against Trump. This set the stage for Harris to take on Trump in the general election, which ultimately resulted in Trump’s victory.

As Trump prepares to retake the White House, the dynamics between him, Harris, Obama, and Clinton continue to captivate both political observers and the general public.
