Trump Faces Backlash for Sharing Racist AI Video Depicting Obamas as Monkeys

A backlash ensued after former U.S. President Donald Trump shared a racist AI-generated video on Truth Social, depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as monkeys.

The video quickly sparked outrage on social media, with California Governor Gavin Newsom and critic Harry Sisson condemning the post as racist and unbecoming of a president. This incident follows Trump's previous sharing of AI-generated content targeting Obama.

The controversial video portrayed Michelle Obama's face on a black monkey's body and Barack Obama's face on a brown monkey's body. The post drew widespread condemnation for its racially insensitive nature, highlighting ongoing social issues related to racism and discrimination.
