YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump told reporters that he 'didn't make a mistake' after sharing a 'disgraceful' racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama on his Truth Social account.
Posted on Trump's own social media network, the clip showed the faces of former President Obama and his wife on the bodies of apes.
When their faces come into shot, the song 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' can be heard playing in the background. The 62 second video was one of numerous clips shared by the President to amplify his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Later, while onboard Air Force One, Trump said that 'of course' he condemned the racist parts of the video, but told reporters he would not apologise. He also didn't clarify if he would fire the staffer who posted it.
Simon Marks reacts to the shocking video and analyses why such content would be posted in the first place.
