“A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,” a White House official on background told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday. The 62-second video when still on the Truth Social site at its end depicted Obama, the first Black U.S. president, and the former first lady as apes and characters from the Lion King musical where they are dancing to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
The video itself discussed false election fraud claims surrounding the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden. That includes conspiracy theories around Dominion Voting Systems as a manufacturer of voting equipment, which in turn led to Fox Corp. in 2023 settling a high-profile defamation case for $787 million with the ballot-counting company.
