Trump posts, then deletes, racist video of Obamas as monkeys
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|February 07, 2026
President Donald Trump shared a post with a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys, sparking outrage across the US political spectrum on Friday before deleting it in a rare backtrack.
The White House initially rejected "fake outrage" over the video shared on Trump's Truth Social account late Thursday night, only to then blame the post on an error by a staff member.
Democrats had slammed Trump as "vile" over the post about the Obamas - the first Black president and first lady in US history - while a senior Republican senator said the video was blatantly racist.
