3:38Now PlayingDonald Trump has refused to apologise after a video was shared on his Truth Social account depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes - saying "I didn't make a mistake".
The depiction appeared towards the end of the video, asserting debunked claims that the 2020 election - which he lost to Joe Biden - was stolen from him.
Posted on Mr Trump's own social media network, the two-second clip shows the Obamas as apes bobbing up and down to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
The post was later deleted - around 12 hours after being shared.
