Donald Trump shared celebrity videos to reject racism claims.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> has once again made headlines for his peculiar behavior on social media.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, he took to his Truth Social account to post a series of videos aimed at proving he is not racist. However, the content of these videos raised eyebrows and led to further ridicule from critics.<\/p>\n The compilation featured Black public figures such as Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n One particular video compilation featured Trump posing with various Black celebrities, including some who are known for their controversial pasts or criminal convictions. This move followed an earlier incident where Trump shared a racist video of his political opponents, depicting them in a demeaning manner. The video used the 1961 hit \u201cThe Lion Sleeps Tonight\u201d and portrayed figures such as former President Barack Obama<\/strong><\/a> and former First Lady Michelle Obama<\/strong><\/a> in an offensive light.<\/p>\n Critics mocked the posts across social media.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The new video appears to be an attempt to repair Trump\u2019s image with the Black community. The caption accompanying one of the posts read, \u201cHow quickly people forget. So Sad! President DJT.\u201d Critics of Trump took to social media, suggesting that his strategy was misguided. One user mockingly stated, \u201cI\u2019m not racist. I got Black friends.\u201d<\/p>\n The compilation includes clips of Trump interacting with prominent Black figures like Snoop Dogg<\/strong><\/a> and Will Smith<\/strong><\/a>, as well as footage of him affectionately engaging with Black children. However, many found these clips patronizing rather than endearing.<\/p>\n Old clips with Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jackson resurfaced.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In a further attempt to bolster his credibility, Trump shared a video from his appearance on Oprah Winfrey<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s show. The original poster of this video noted that Oprah had expressed support for Trump\u2019s presidential aspirations back in 1988. The post stated, \u201cOprah wanted Trump to run for president in 1988 on the same policies he holds today\u2014interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n Another notable post displayed Trump with the late Michael Jackson<\/strong><\/a> during a time when the pop star faced serious allegations. The accompanying caption stated, \u201cIf there was one person Trump stayed loyal to, it was Michael Jackson.\u201d Critics argue that these images do little to counter claims of racism.<\/p>\n The White House claimed a careless staff member posted the video.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In response to the backlash, the White House<\/a> issued a statement claiming that it was not Trump who posted the controversial video but rather a careless staff member. Trump himself has refused to apologize, asserting that he did not view the problematic portions of the video. He stated, \u201cI didn\u2019t make a mistake\u2026I mean\u2026I look at a lot of\u2026thousands of things. And I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine\u2026I am, by the way, the least racist president you\u2019ve had in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n As the fallout continues, many are left questioning whether Trump\u2019s latest efforts will resonate with the Black community or if they will merely serve to reinforce existing perceptions.<\/p>\n Read more at OK!<\/a><\/p>\n Get OK!’s biggest scoops and scandals delivered right to your inbox.
