The racist clip appeared at the end. Trump said the video was posted by a staff member and claimed he did not know about the depiction of the Obamas. Republican Senator Tim Scott described the clip as “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House” and called for its removal. The clip appears to have originated from a meme video shared on X last year, which portrayed several Democratic leaders as animals. The controversy adds to Trump’s long history of attacks on Barack Obama, including past false claims questioning Obama’s birthplace, which Trump later acknowledged were untrue.
