Could Obama sue Trump? [View all]

For posting the AI clip showing Obama on his knees in front of Trump, being handcuffed and arrested? Trump was laughing gleefully in the video.

Since Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch for printing a drawing of a nude in a birthday card for Epstein, then it would seem that what Trump has done is ten times worse.

Is he the only person in America that can sue?
