Trump removes video showing Barack, Michelle Obama as monkeys after outrage
US President Donald Trump has taken down a video from his Truth Social account that portrayed former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as monkeys.
Trump had posted the clip twice early on Friday, claiming there were irregularities in the 2020 presidential election that he lost to Joe Biden.
In the video, Barack and Michelle only appeared at the end, archived here, as AI-generated monkey figures dancing to the tune of ‘The lion sleeps tonight’, a song popularised by Disney’s ‘The Lion King’, most notably performed by Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog.
Checks confirmed that the video has since been deleted from the president’s account.
