Trump washes hands of racist Obama video and refuses to apologize

President Trump claims he was as surprised as anyone about the footage in a video he shared earlier today Barracks And Michelle Obama like monkeys… but he’s not sorry at all.

Here’s the deal… the president’s Truth Social account posted a video depicting the Obamas as monkeys… which was met with swift backlash and condemnation on social media and by many on Capitol Hill. The White House initially said the video was fine, but it was later removed due to all the heat.

Trump was pressed by reporters aboard Air Force One this afternoon … and he pleaded ignorance, saying he only knew the video was a commentary on voter fraud — and that he had no idea the Obamas depicted as monkeys in the jungle.

Trump denied any responsibility… and blamed his staff, saying they clearly didn’t look closely enough at the video before posting it.

When asked if he wanted to apologize, Trump, of course, said no. Since he had no idea about the racist portrayal, he had nothing to regret.
