"During a Friday gaggle with the press aboard Air Force One en route to Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump declared that he is the least racist president you've had in a long time, amid uproar from both sides of the aisle after he posted a video to Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes."
"I've done great with black voters, declared Trump. They've been great to me, I've been great to them. I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time, as far as I'm concerned, he added. At another point during the gaggle, he refused to apologize for posting the video, insisting, No, I didn't make a mistake."
President Donald Trump defended posting a Truth Social video that included AI-generated footage of Barack and Michelle Obama superimposed on apes, and declared he is the least racist president in a long time. He said he had done well with Black voters and refused to apologize, insisting 'No, I didn't make a mistake.' The post also contained baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the material an Internet meme and dismissed critics as offering fake outrage. The post was later deleted, with an unnamed staffer blamed for the erroneous upload. Former Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said several GOP House members were upset.
