The clip was shared on X by the official account of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in India following heavy Republican losses in the US midterm elections. In the artificial footage, Trump appears unconscious as four men wearing suits carry him away from the White House. They then dump the president into a large rubbish container marked "Hazardous waste". The video quickly went viral, attracting more than five million views and 111,000 likes.

The latest mockery comes after Trump's Republican Party suffered major losses in this week's midterm elections. Democrats won control of both the House of Representatives and Senate, giving the party control of Congress for the remainder of Trump's presidency.
Left out here: Drops what it reported before
The article explains the midterm losses only as Democrats flipping seats. It never says that the war on Iran was blamed for those losses, which the Express itself reported days earlier: Vice President JD Vance blamed the defeat on the war, and Ron DeSantis attacked Trump over it. Without this, a reader takes the Iranian embassy's mockery as a random jibe at a US domestic vote. In fact the result the embassy mocked was tied, by Trump's own party, to his war on Iran.

Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT The result means Democrats will be in a much stronger position to frustrate Trump's political agenda when the new Congress takes control in January.
They will be able to block some of his choices for courts and his Cabinet, as well as launch investigations and potentially pursue impeachment proceedings against White House officials. However, Trump will retain considerable power to stand in the way of legislation passed by Congress. Billboards have appeared in Iran mocking and threatening Trump (Image: Getty) The president can veto bills and joint resolutions sent to him, including spending legislation and war powers resolutions.
Trump has already suggested he plans to make extensive use of that power, describing himself as "Mr Veto". Congress can override a presidential veto, but doing so requires the support of two-thirds of both the House and Senate. Democrats do not have enough seats to achieve that alone and would therefore need Republican support. The online mockery comes as anti-Trump displays have also continued in Iran. People took to the streets of Tehran on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, with demonstrators carrying anti-Trump placards.
Some signs portrayed the US president as a pig, while others carried the threatening message: "We will kill Trump." Billboards have also appeared showing Trump behind bars .

Left out here: Leaves out what changes the picture
The Express presents the Tehran placards, including "We will kill Trump", as part of a hostage crisis anniversary. It does not say that Iran is eight months into a war that began when the US and Israel struck Iran and killed its Supreme Leader, which the outlet reported two days earlier. A reader sees the threats as hostility rooted only in 1979.
