Trump's Controversial Video of Obamas Sparks Outrage

Donald Trump, aged 79, faced criticism for sharing a controversial video on Truth Social. The video depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys, triggering accusations of racism.

The Controversial Video

On February 6, the former US President posted a minute-long video perpetuating false claims about the 2020 election. At the end, an AI-generated image showed the Obamas as monkeys.

The video received some likes but predominantly drew backlash from global audiences condemning it as racist and disgraceful.

Reactions and Condemnations

Various individuals, including public figures like Gavin Newsom and Ben Rhodes, publicly denounced the video as racist and demanded swift condemnation from Republicans.

Trump's White House Press Secretary dismissed the outrage, claiming the video was a meme depicting Trump as the 'King of the Jungle' and Democrats as characters from 'The Lion King'.

Notably, this incident is not the first time Trump has been accused of racism, with past instances including derogatory remarks aimed at Somalia and US representative Ilhan Omar.
