What is the news?
US President Donald Trump has been continuously targeting former presidents. Now in another controversial move he shared an objectionable video of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama on his social media. In this the Obama couple were shown as monkeys. As the controversy escalated, Trump deleted this video, but has also refused to apologize.
What was in the video?
Trump shared a nearly one-minute video on his social media and claimed that Dominion Voting Systems, the company that counted ballots in the 2020 presidential election, had committed irregularities against Trump. In the last few seconds of this video made on the song ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’, the Obama couple’s face was shown superimposed on the body of a monkey. Trump has raised the issue of irregularities in the 2020 elections several times before.
Trump’s clarification – did not watch the entire video
As soon as the video surfaced, there was widespread protest. Former National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes described Trump as a black spot in history. He said, “In the future, the American people will remember the Obamas as respected figures, while Trump will be read as a dark chapter in history.” Trump later deleted the video, but said, “I made no mistake. I only watched the beginning before posting the video.”
