Executive summary

There is no evidence in the provided reporting that former President Barack Obama posted a video declaring or celebrating that Donald Trump had been impeached in 2026; the sources supplied discuss renewed calls for impeachment of President Trump in 2026 and a resurfaced 2010 Obama clip but do not document Obama posting a 2026 video about impeachment [1][2]. Reporting shows active discussion of impeachment among Democrats and in the press in 2026, but not a viral 2026 Obama video endorsing or announcing an impeachment [3][4].

1. What the record in these sources actually shows about impeachment chatter in 2026

Multiple outlets in the sample trace an uptick in calls and formal steps toward impeaching President Trump in early 2026—news organizations and Congressional records describe petitions, introduced articles of impeachment, and lawmakers publicly debating whether to pursue impeachment, with concrete filings such as H.Res.353 on the congressional record [3][5], and national outlets reporting a “rising clamor” among Democrats and progressive voices [1][4]. The coverage emphasizes political calculations around midterm elections and procedural hurdles—impeachment needs a House majority and a two‑thirds Senate conviction to remove a president—rather than any immediate announcement by a former president [3].

2. What the sources say about Barack Obama and viral video snippets, and why that’s different

One article in the collection highlights a resurfaced 2010 clip of Barack Obama—circulating amid immigration debates in January 2026—where Obama discussed deportation policy; that piece documents a viral archival clip but not a new 2026 video about Trump’s impeachment [2]. Separate pieces in the dataset record past interactions between Trump and Obama in the political theater around impeachment (historical clips, past comments), yet none of the provided snippets show Obama posting a fresh video in 2026 about impeachment or announcing any such outcome [6][2].

3. How misinformation or misattribution can appear in this terrain

Misinformation often arises when old clips are recirculated during heightened news cycles and are framed as new commentary; the Fox News example demonstrates how a decade‑old Obama speech went viral in January 2026 because it resonated with current debates, illustrating how archival material can be misconstrued as contemporaneous unless platforms or outlets clearly date them [2]. The surrounding reporting on impeachment—bets and odds, members’ statements, and formal resolutions—creates a charged context where a misleading claim that a high‑profile figure “posted a video” could spread rapidly even without documentary backing [3][7].

4. Limits of the available reporting and what would be needed to confirm or refute the claim decisively

The sources supplied cover impeachment efforts, archival Obama clips resurfacing, and mainstream coverage of the political moment but do not include comprehensive social‑media archives, direct links to Obama’s verified social accounts, or a fact‑checked debunking of a specific viral 2026 Obama video; therefore, the materials cannot definitively rule out an unreported post outside these outlets’ scope but do provide no affirmative evidence that Obama made such a 2026 video [2][1]. To be definitive would require either a direct link or screenshot of a post on Obama’s official channels dated in 2026 or a credible outlet documenting and sourcing such a video.

Conclusion: direct answer

Based on the reporting provided here, Barack Obama did not post a video about Donald Trump being impeached in 2026—there is no citation in these sources of any such 2026 post, only discussion of impeachment efforts in Congress and a separately resurfaced 2010 Obama clip [5][2][1]. This dataset therefore supports the clear, evidence‑based conclusion that the claim is unsubstantiated within these reports; further verification would require inspecting Obama’s verified social accounts and broader social‑media archives or a direct report from a credible news organization documenting the post.
