The senior Congress leader, Manish Tewari shared the video with a caption that read: "What do right-wing populists look like. Do What"

In the video, Obama announced that saying "the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound" which was compared to Trump's narration where he said, "They did a lot of shooting, and they did a lot of blasting, even not going through the front door. You know, you would think you go through the door. If you're a normal person, you say 'Knock, knock. May I come in?'"

Obama further added, "After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body." In contrast to Trump's account, saying, "He died like a dog." "His death does not mark the end of our effort," Obama added, which was cut to Donald Trump saying, "A beautiful dog, a talented dog."
