A video showing a man resembling US President Donald Trump being picked up and thrown into a dustbin has gone viral on social media following the Republican Party’s poor performance in the US midterm elections. The video carries the caption, “US Midterm Elections.”

The information was reported by Indian newspaper The Statesman on Wednesday (November 4).

Following a major setback for Donald Trump’s Republican Party in the US midterm elections, the Iranian Embassy in India posted the video on its official X account.

The video shows four men lifting a figure resembling Trump and throwing him into a garbage bin labelled “Hazardous Waste.”

Posted with the caption “US Midterm Elections,” the video is actually an AI-generated meme. It went viral shortly after being uploaded and has so far received nearly 1.5 million views.

This is not the first time Iran has mocked Trump in this way. Iranian embassies have repeatedly used memes on X this year to ridicule the US president.

Earlier, following the announcement of a ceasefire, the Iranian Embassy in India published an AI-generated image of Trump kneeling in front of a statue of a horseman holding the Iranian flag.

In September, the Iranian Embassy in Tunisia mocked Trump using a meme featuring Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. Referring to the upcoming elections, the post asked Trump how things were going for him.
