SORRY BUT THIS ONE APPEARS TO BE FAKE NEWS

IS IT TRUE OBAMA HAS BEEN RECEIVING YEARLY PAYMENTS OF 2.5 MILION RELATED TO THE ACA HE HAD CONGRESS PASS

Obama ACA Royalty Payments

No, it is not true that Barack Obama has been receiving yearly payments of $2.5 million related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This claim is false and originated from a satirical website The story, which alleges that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) halted a $2.5 million annual payment to Obama for "royalties linked to Obamacare," was shared by Donald Trump on Truth Social on November 9, 2025, accompanied by the comment "WOW!"

The claim is a variation of a long-debunked conspiracy theory that has circulated since at least 2017 It stems from content published by America’s Last Line of Defense and the Dunning-Kruger Times, both operated by Christopher Blair, a satirist known for creating fake news designed to mislead conservative audiences These sites clearly state that their content is fictional

There is no evidence that Obama receives any royalty payments related to the ACA, which is commonly referred to as "Obamacare" Like all former U.S. presidents, Obama receives a pension, but it is not tied to the ACA or any trademark royalties The U.S. government does not make royalty payments for legislation, and there are no credible reports that Obama trademarked the term "Obamacare" or receives payments for its use PolitiFact and other fact-checking organizations have consistently rated this claim as false, with PolitiFact assigning it a "Pants on Fire" rating
