One of the many key guiding principles that Donald Trump learned from his mentor Roy Cohn was “deny nothing, deny everything,” and today that approach was seen as the former. Student The host tried to get out of a nasty AI-generated video posted on Truth Social that portrayed Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” the self-proclaimed “least racist president … in a long time” said Trump this evening as he apologized to the former First Couple for racism. Still accusing the post of an unnamed low-level staffer, POTUS was speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way Friday from DC to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
“I look at a lot of things, thousands of things, I looked at the beginning of it, it was right,” he added, according to pool reports. “If you look at where it came from, I think it was off the mark The King is the King.”
No one ever takes responsibility or admits knowledge of things when they go wrong or backfire as this post of Obamas night did to almost everyone, even the staunch MAGAheads, Trump also said: “I didn’t see everything.
“We took it down as soon as we got it,” Trump said on the plane on Friday. The Republican replied “Yes I do” when asked this evening if he rejected the racist message in the video. However, the statement that the video was taken down immediately is not entirely true if its obvious exposure has been received with cruelty.
First posted late last year by the “@XERIAS_X” account, the 55-second video depicts Trump as a lion, while Hillary Clinton and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani are portrayed as a warthog and hyena respectively. Just in case, there was something unclear about where this was all going, a two-second scene appears at the end of the video with the Obamas as monkeys, dancing in the jungle to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
Since they were abandoned by the people who were loved in 2028, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California and Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and every other Democrat in the country, the loud dog whistle caused even Sen. Former Trump loyalist Tim Scott (R-SC) blasted the video. Running to be the next Governor of South Carolina, Scott wrote on Twitter that “I pray it was a lie because it is the most racist thing I have ever seen in this White House. The President should remove it.”
Calling something “extremely racist” from Trump is overstating it. The fact that the shipment arrived six days into the Black History Month and since some questions about the connection and interference of the king Trump and others in his route should now die the dead rapist Jeffrey Epstein did not seem like an accident.
Earlier the White House took its usual attack stance (another Cohn rule), with Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt defending the position. “This is from an internet meme video that shows President Trump as the King of the Jungle and the Democrats as the characters that appear. The King is the King,” Leavitt said.
With the deadline marked early Friday, there are no monkeys at Disney The King is the Kingso the WH response is off, to say the least. However, as the increase increased, managers removed the offending items. Soon after he announced that “A White House staff member made a mistake. He’s been demoted.”
Blaming the workforce is nothing new for Trump — he’s been doing it for at least a decade, if not more.
Tonight Trump said he knew what was going on among his staff, although he denied he knew what they were sending on his behalf. “I liked the beginning, I saw it, I just passed it on,” he said without saying that the person who posted it will face the consequences.
What is certain is that while Trump, who began his political career attacking the citizenship of Barack Obama who was born in Hawaii and was born in America, was declaring that he did not do what he did, the former POTUS and FLOTUS were taking the high road.

Obama, a clearly terrified Trump, and the First Lady took to social media on Friday, but ignored Trump and the disgusting video. Instead, both praised the American athletes participating in the XXV Winter Games that opened today in Italy.
Giving an idea of how Team Trump is viewed by many outside of the USA, Team USA is very excited during this year’s Olympics opening ceremony. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance was booed and booed as he stood in the VIP section of Milan’s San Siro Stadium in front of a crowd of 60,000.
