'Vile' clip is taken down after backlash
Melania and Donald Trump with ex-president Barack Obama and wife Michelle at Trump's first inauguration in 2017
A VIDEO shared by Donald Trump's social media account depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes drew a huge backlash and was condemned as racist before it was finally removed.
The US president used his Truth Media platform to share a video about election conspiracy theories. It included a short clip of the former president and first lady as primates in the jungle.
The shocking clip shows the couple as Al-generated figures grinning and dancing to The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
The video sparked widespread criticism, with California’s Democrat governor Gavin Newsom describing it as “disgusting behaviour”.
Mr Newsom added: “Every single Republican must denounce this. Now.”
