The hilarious clip draws a conspicuous contrast between the current and former Presidents of United States--Donald Trump and Barack Obama. The short video put to display the striking distinction between Donald Trump's media address announcing the death of ISIS so-called caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria and the killing of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. 

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 mashed speeches of Obama and Trump, Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that the former US President's speech lasted for about 9 mins, as opposed to the current US President's speech that was as long as 40 minutes. 

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."
