<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a> sparked outrage over a video he posted late Thursday night and then deleted on Friday morning, in which he mocks former President Barack Obama<\/a> and wife Michelle Obama<\/a> as animated apes.<\/p>\n

\u201cA White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,\u201d a White House official on background told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> on Friday. The 62-second video when still on the Truth Social site at its end depicted Obama<\/a>, the first Black U.S. president, and the former first lady<\/a> as apes and characters from the Lion<\/a> King musical where they are dancing to \u201cThe Lion Sleeps Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video itself discussed false election fraud claims surrounding the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
