Trump shares racist video depicting Obamas as apes on Truth Social,
then removes it amid bipartisan outrage

President Donald Trump shared a racist video on his social media platform Thursday night that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle, then removed it hours later amid bipartisan outrage, including from a close ally.

Just before noon, the White House blamed a staffer for the video posted to Trump’s Truth Social account and said the post had been removed. The statement came after serious backlash, including from GOP Sen. Tim Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, who called the post racist and said Trump should remove it.

“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it,” the South Carolina Republican, who’s also the chair of the Senate GOP campaign committee, wrote on X.

The White House had earlier defended the post and downplayed the response to the video, calling it “fake outrage.” But just before noon, an official told CNN, “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.” By that time, the video had been up for nearly 12 hours. A GOP Senate official said Republican lawmakers had called Trump to discuss the post with him.

And it sent the White House into major damage control mode, sources said, with officials, advisers and allies reaching out to lawmakers and the media to try to dispute that Trump himself played any role. One White House adviser asserted that, “The president was not aware of that video, and was very let down by the staffer who put it out.” Another ally sought to place blame on a specific aide.

US President Donald Trump has removed a social media video which included a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

The clip - set to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight - was at the end of a 62-second video he shared containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Republican Senator Tim Scott - who is black - had called for the president to remove the post, describing it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House".

The White House initially defended the clip as an "internet meme video" and told critics to "stop the fake outrage".

The clip - which recalls racist caricatures comparing black people to monkeys - appears to be taken from an X post shared by conservative meme creator Xerias in October.

That video also depicts several other high-profile Democrats as animals, including New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Trump's predecessor in the White House, Joe Biden, is also depicted as an ape eating a banana.

The Obamas have yet to comment on the video.

While the president offered no comment in his post, his sharing of the video - one of dozens posted on his Truth Social account overnight - sparked a fierce backlash.

Some criticism came from within Trump's own party.

Reply #7 - Feb 7^th, 2026 at 7:23am Karoline Leavitt tried to defend it by accusing people of faking outrage. I’m not sure what’s worse - the image of the Obamas as monkeys or the fact that Leavitt tried (and failed miserably) to defend it.

The clip was an auto scroll for a second Roll Eyes

The clip has also been taken down .

The important thing though is the proof that these electronic election machines were used to steal the 2020 election.

But no one on here wants to talk about that.

And save me your feigned moral outrage - we’ve all seen and read the most vile and disgusting things that have been posted on this site. Roll Eyes

No, depicting people as animals is zoomorphism.

Quote:

Zoomorphism has been used since the Upper Paleolithic era, such as the 32,000-year-old Löwenmensch (Lion-man) figurine, to blend human and animal forms

Zoomorphism practice emerged alongside the earliest human symbolic creations.
