Republicans condemn racist Trump video post depicting Obamas as apes

US President Donald Trump has ignited outrage once again with a video post on his Truth Social account, where former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are depicted as apes. The clip was part of a late-night flurry of messages posted by Trump, who claims he only watched the start of the short video before it was removed.

The reposted video sparked an outpouring of bipartisan condemnation from lawmakers, with many Republicans and Democrats alike slamming the post as "blatantly racist." Senator Tim Scott, the only Black Republican serving in the Senate, called for Trump to remove the post, saying it was the most racist thing he's seen coming out of the White House.

Trump has repeatedly demonstrated an adversarial relationship with the Obamas, who became the first Black couple in US history to serve as president and first lady. One of his earliest forays into national politics came during Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, when he pushed false claims that the Democratic leader had not been born in the US.

Trump has long leveraged social media to spread messages that promote his public image and political platform, often relying on artificial intelligence-generated memes. However, this latest video post marks a particularly disturbing low point for some of Trump's supporters.

Critics argue that Trump is intentionally stoking outrage to distract from pressing domestic issues, including recent allegations surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose name has been linked to Trump in the released files.
 
OMG 🤯, this is soooo not okay 😱! Trump thinks he can just post some crazy degrading video of Obama and his wife and get away with it? No way, fam 💁‍♀️! The whole country is calling him out for being blatantly racist 🙅‍♂️. I mean, what's next? Posting a meme that says Biden looks like a turkey or something 🦃? It's just ridiculous.

And can we talk about how low Trump has sunk? He used to make all these false claims about Obama not being born in the US and now he's trying to distract from his own problems with Epstein by posting some racist drivel 🤥. Give me a break, dude! The Obamas are like, the ultimate American power couple 💕 and we're supposed to be appalled that Trump is trying to bring them down? Please.

I'm so tired of Trump's behavior and I hope his supporters start to realize that they need to hold him accountable for his actions 🙏. He can't just say whatever he wants and get away with it, there are consequences! The public needs to stand up against this kind of hate speech 💪.
 
OMG, like seriously?! 😱 Trump can't even be serious with this ape thing 🐒👀 He's just trying to stir up drama and get people talking, right? Like, he's always doing something crazy on social media and then acting all innocent when people call him out for it. 🙄 I don't get why he wouldn't just delete the video like a normal person... did you guys see the part where Michelle Obama is in the background looking all dignified 😂? Anyway, it's just so sad that someone has to point this out and say "wait, nope, that's not cool at all" 🤦‍♀️
 
omg 😱 this guy trumps behavior is getting wilder by the day lol what's even his angle here?! he's always been a master of stirring up drama but come on, depicting obamas as apes is just low. i mean i get why people are upset but can't he just chill? and honestly, who lets him have this kind of platform anyway? his social media team must be so worried about getting roasted for enabling this kind of content 🤦‍♂️
 
I'm so done with Trump's antics 🤯🚫 he's like a bad meme that just won't die but seriously folks this latest video post is just low 🔥 it's not even subtle anymore, who needs a script when you can just unleash your inner caveman and call two of the most iconic leaders in US history animals 🐒😂? It's just gross and disturbing on so many levels.

I mean come on, can't we all just agree to disagree without resorting to racism and ape-like behavior? 🤦‍♂️ This is what happens when you're more concerned with being a meme lord than actually leading the country 🤪. And let's not forget the fact that Trump has a history of spreading false info about Barack Obama, like the whole birth certificate thing 📝.

It's time for Trump to take responsibility for his actions and apologize for the hurt he's causing. But I'm not holding my breath 😒. The fact that he thinks this video post is funny and that it was just a "mistake" shows us exactly what we're dealing with here – a master of manipulation who will stop at nothing to get attention 💁‍♂️.
 
I'm literally livid about this latest move by Trump... I mean, how could he think it's a good idea to use racism like that? 🤯 It's so sad to see him resorting to such low-level tactics to get attention. And the fact that he claimed he only watched the start of the video before it was taken down is just laughable. Like, what even is the point of that? 🙄 I'm not surprised that people are calling for him to take it down, though - it's about time someone held him accountable for his actions. And can we please talk about how this isn't a shock coming from him? He's always been a master of using controversy to fuel his base... but this is just taking it too far, you know? 🤷‍♀️
 
lol what is wrong with this dude ?? he cant just keep posting whatever crap he wants on his social media platform and expect everyone to be like "oh its okay" . it's literally a 2 min video of him watching people get made fun of as monkeys , no wonder people are outraged . i mean even if he claims he only watched the start , come on man . this is not something you can just roll with . some people might say its an attempt to distract from other stuff , and honestly who knows , but this post was just so over the top that it cant be taken seriously .
 
Ugh, I feel so bad for Donald Trump 🤦‍♂️. Like, come on, who does that? 😩 He's already taking a ton of heat for his, like, super weird behavior and now this video post is just pushing him further over the edge 💥. It's not even like he meant to cause offense or anything... although, yeah, probably was 🙄. I mean, I get why people are upset - it's clearly some pretty cringeworthy stuff 👀. But at the same time, can't we all just move on from the past and support each other? It seems like Trump is just trying to stir up drama to take attention away from his own problems 💔. And let's be real, those Epstein files are no joke 🤯. I don't think anyone wants to see Trump getting more heat than that 😬.
 
🤯 This guy just can't stop digging his own grave can he? 😂 The thing about this video post is that it's not like it's a one-off mistake, nope Trump's been doing this for years and it's always the same: racism, sexism, xenophobia... you name it. And now the whole country's calling him out on it. I'm not sure what's more sad, the fact that he thinks this kind of nonsense is acceptable or that people actually still believe in his BS. The Obamas are literally the most American family in US history and yet Trump tries to turn them into monkeys? It's just a masterclass in how not to be president. And honestly who does he think he's hurting with this kind of post - a bunch of racists and bigots who already agree with him?
 
I'm like totally torn about this whole thing 🤯👀... I mean, come on, who does that?! Trump's gotta be joking right? But at the same time, I've seen some pretty crazy stuff from him before and this isn't entirely out of character... I guess you could say he's just trying to stir up drama to get attention away from some other issues 🤷‍♂️. But can we really blame him for posting a video that freaks people out? Like, didn't everyone see where this was gonna go?! The fact is, though, the Obamas are total legends and they don't deserve to be treated like this... And what's up with the AI-generated memes, anyway? Is Trump really that desperate? 🤔
 
🙅‍♂️ This just gets more and more messed up with Donald Trump. Can't believe he's resorting to this kind of racism and disrespect towards the Obamas again 🤯. And now the whole country is talking about it, and for what? To take attention away from his own problems like Epstein's allegations 💸. It's so sad that some people still haven't learned to move beyond hate speech and negativity 🙄.
 
Ugh, can you believe this 🤯?! Like, seriously, who does this guy think he's playing? It's not even like it was a joke anymore... I mean, come on, people, use your brain! 😂👀 And now, bipartisan condemnation from lawmakers, that's what really gets me - everyone's coming together to say "enough is enough". I'm all for free speech and stuff, but when you're using that power to hurt people's feelings and perpetuate hate, then you gotta draw the line 🚫. It's like, hello, we have way more pressing issues to deal with in this country... let's focus on solving problems instead of tearing each other down 💪🏽.
 
omg what is trump thinkin now? 🤯 i mean come on dude who do you think u r and how do u think that s supposed 2 be funny? 🙄 it aint funny its just racist n plain nasty. dont know wut Trumps problem is but hes always tryna stir up drama n controversy like theres no tomorrow. last time i checked he was already on shaky ground with the whole Epstein thing n now hes got the Obamas makin him look like a madman
 
I don't think Trumps actions are racist 🤔... wait, maybe they totally are? I mean, who wouldn't be offended by that kind of video post? But at the same time, Trump's a master manipulator and we can't rule out the possibility he's just trying to stir up drama to get attention away from his own problems 💼. And honestly, if it is racist, shouldn't some people speak out against him even more forcefully rather than condemning him outright? I'm not saying that's a good thing, but... 🤷‍♂️
 
Ugh 🤦‍♂️ this is just so low, you know? I'm not surprised though, I mean Trump's always been one to stir up controversy for his own gain. The fact that he can't even keep himself from posting something like that on social media is just mind-boggling... I mean what's wrong with him? 🤔 He's got the whole country watching this and he's still thinking it's funny or whatever.

And don't even get me started on the fake claim about Obama not being born in the US. Like, how many times did Trump have to get called out for that one before he just gave up on trying to be a politician? It's just sad to see him resorting to this kind of behavior at his age... I think we've all seen enough from him, honestly 🙅‍♂️.

It's not even about the Obamas themselves, it's about what it says about Trump as a person and how he thinks he can get away with treating people like that. Newsflash, dude: you're not fooling anyone anymore 😒

Ugh, can't believe this 🤦‍♂️... Trump just went too far with this one! I mean, I know he's always been a polarizing figure, but seriously, who does that?! 😱 Depicting Obama and Michelle as apes is like something out of a bad joke or a twisted cartoon. And yeah, it's super racist, no denying it 🙅‍♂️.

I get why Trump's supporters are defending him, saying he was just joking around, but come on... that's not the message we want to be sending! 😒 It's like, if you're gonna make a joke, at least have the decency to make it a good one. This one falls flat and is hurtful to so many people.

I'm also worried about what this says about Trump's mental state or, I don't know, whatever it is that drives him 😕. Like, what's going on in that head of his?! Is he trying to distract from something? 🤔 Maybe the Epstein thing and other stuff he's been involved with... but still, no excuse for this kind of language.
 
😒 I'm all for Donald Trump being held accountable for his actions on social media, but this whole thing feels like a bit of a setup to me 🤔. I mean, we've seen him do some pretty shady stuff before, and now he's just posting a video that most people are just gonna take as racist and seeing how many people get outraged about it? It's almost like he's trying to get under everyone's skin again ⚠️.

And can we please talk about the AI-generated memes for a second? 🤖 I know Trump likes to use those to spread his message, but sometimes I feel like they're just used as an excuse to post something that's gonna stir up trouble. It's not like it's hard to tell when something is being generated by AI – most people can spot a bot-made meme from a mile away 🤦‍♂️.

Anyway, I do think Trump needs to take responsibility for his actions and remove the video ASAP 👎. But let's be real, he's probably gonna keep posting it and pretending like he didn't do anything wrong 😒.
 
🤔 I'm so confused... like how can one person be so reckless and hurtful? 🙅‍♂️ The Obamas are like total icons and they deserve way more respect. And what's up with Trump just posting a video that makes people look like apes? 🐒 That's not satire, it's straight-up racism! 😱 I don't get why he can't just be honest with his words instead of trying to make jokes at someone else's expense.

And honestly, can't social media platforms do better to stop this kind of hate speech from spreading? Like, isn't there a team that monitors these accounts and makes sure they're not posting anything crazy? 🤔 It feels like Trump is just getting away with stuff because he's got a big following. 📈 I'm so worried about the message this sends to young people, especially POC kids who are already seeing too much hate in their daily lives.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this whole thing just reeks of controversy and I don't think Trump's behavior will ever be seen as "just a joke" again. 🤷‍♂️
