Fake video news is coming, and this clip of Obama 'insulting' Trump shows how dangerous it could be
A new video released by BuzzFeed appears to show former President Barack Obama calling President Donald Trump "a total and complete dips--- " among other outlandish statements - but as with many things online, it's not what it seems.
The video is not an actual recording of Obama. It's a highly edited video that digitally alters footage of Obama to make his mouth mimic a voice actor's movements. The audio of the speech was recorded by Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele.
The clip eventually shows a split screen of Obama and Peele, revealing the ruse.
"This is a dangerous time," Peele says, still impersonating Obama. "Moving forward we need to be more vigilant with what we trust from the internet. It's a time where we need to rely on trusted news sources."
