The White House has deleted a post on Donald Trump’s<\/a> social media account containing a video portraying former United States President Barack Obama<\/a> and his wife Michelle Obama<\/a> as apes.\n<\/p>\n

The video triggered a backlash from American politicians, including from Trump’s own Republican Party.\n<\/p>\n

After initially defending the post, the White House removed the post from Trump’s account in response to backlash, according to the BBC<\/a><\/i>.\n<\/p>\n

A White House official stated that a staff member had mistakenly posted the video.\n<\/p>\n

Trump himself has stated that he did not see the full video prior to it being posted and according to ABC News<\/i> Australia<\/a>, he refused to apologize, stating “I didn’t make a mistake. I mean, I give – I look at a lot – thousands of things.”\n<\/p>\n

Senator Tim Scott<\/a><\/span>, who is both African American and a Republican, referred to the video as “the most racist thing I’ve ever seen out of this White House.”\n<\/p>\n

The video, which lasts 62 seconds, used the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight<\/i> as background music and references allegations of electoral fraud in the 2020 United States presidential election.\n<\/p>\n

In addition to the Obamas, it portrays various other Democratic Party politicians as animals, such as United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.\n<\/p>\n

Former United States President Joe Biden<\/a>, like the Obamas, is portrayed as an ape eating a banana.\n<\/p>\n

According to the BBC<\/i>, the video is believed to have originated from conservative meme creator Xerias, who shared the post on X in October 2025.\n<\/p>\n
