Did Trump personally post and or support the video?
NO, so give your narrative a rest.
I have no narrative-just posting facts
In early February 2026,2026,
Donald Trump's Truth Social account shared and subsequently deleted a video that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. The Post: The video was part of a series of late-night posts on Truth Social and appeared at the end of a 62-second clip that promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, appearing to show the Obamas' faces on dancing apes to the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".Backlash and Defense: The post immediately drew bipartisan condemnation, with South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott calling it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House".
The White House initially defended the post, calling the reaction "fake outrage" and describing it as an "internet meme," before later attributing it to a staffer's error and removing it.
Trump's Response:
Trump refused to apologize for the post, telling reporters he "didn't make a mistake" and claimed he had not seen the full video before it was shared.
