Trump's Team Defends Him Over 'Racist' Video of Obamas

Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to criticism of the US president's actions.

The White House defended President Donald Trump for sharing a video on Truth Social that many deemed 'racist.'

The video included false claims about the 2020 election and featured an image of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.

The clip drew widespread condemnation globally, with many calling Trump's actions 'disgusting' and 'racist.'

Social media users and politicians, including Gavin Newsom and Ben Rhodes, criticized Trump's behavior.

Leavitt defended Trump's post, claiming it was from an internet meme video depicting him as the 'King of the Jungle.'

She urged people to focus on more important matters and stop the 'fake outrage.'
