‘Fake outrage’: Trump reposts video on election fraud, includes image of Obamas as monkeys
Democrats are unleashing a torrent of virulent attacks calling President Donald Trump racist after he reposted on Truth Social a minute-long video raising allegations of potential election fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
It’s because included was a literal second-long clip, AI-generated, showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
The link to the video on Truth Social later responded with a “Not found” note but numerous people captured the imagery and reposted it on social media:
Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it. https://t.co/gADoM13ssZ

The Obamas appear on screen for about one second as a few notes from “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” play.
Leftist social media personality Harry Sisson condemned the president as “incredibly racist.”
A Fox outlet in Chicago said the White House described the rants as “fake outrage.”
The report said the video addressed what the outlet called “conspiracy theories” about the presidential election.
That election was the vote that was marred by two undue influences, the biggest being the FBI’s decision to interfere in the vote and claim that a long list of scandals involving Joe Biden and his family, revealed in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden, came from Russian disinformation.
The bureau knew at the time it made that statement, encouraging media outlets and people to ignore the information, it all was accurate.
Also, there was the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg handed out like candy to local elections officials, through foundations. Those officials often used the windfall to recruit voters in Democrat districts and it created an influence that never before had impacted American elections.
The Fox outlet explained, “The short clip appears to be part of a longer video shared in October on X called ‘President Trump: King of the Jungle.’ The longer video shows other Democrats depicted as various animals, like former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris as zebras. Trump was shown as a lion, and the video ended with the animals bowing down to him. ”
The leftist New York Times, which has set itself up in opposition to literally all of President Trump’s plans to improve America, called it “one of the oldest and most profoundly racist slanders in American history.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who also has fought virtually every step of Trump’s work to repair and restore America, condemned the post.
Disgusting behavior by the President.
Every single Republican must denounce this. Now. https://t.co/X09h1mcj74

A onetime Obama administration official claimed, “Let it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.”
From the White House came, “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King.”
The AP, ardently leftist and a dedicated opponent of Trump, claimed there was “no evidence of fraud that could have affected the outcome” of the 2020 race.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”
