Donald Trump shared a controversial AI-generated video depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes earlier this year. Now, Barack Obama is sharing his thoughts on the matter.
The video was posted to Donald Trump’s Truth Social account in February 2026 and sparked outrage, with many viewers criticizing it as racist. Trump defended sharing the video, saying it was primarily about “voter fraud” and calling it a “strong piece,” according to Tyla.
Trump said during an Oval Office press conference in February: “That was a video on, as you know, voter fraud. A fairly long video that had a little piece that had to do with ‘The Lion King’.”
He added: “It’s doing very well, it’s being shown all over the place. Long before that was posted. That was a very strong – I’m sure you saw it – piece on voter fraud.
“The piece that you’re talking about was all over the place, many times, I believe, for years.”
