United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump has refused to apologise even after facing severe criticism from both Democratic and Republican politicians for posting a racist video depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 47th POTUS declared himself to be the \u201cleast racist\u201d head of the U.S. and placed the responsibility for the video on his staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to reporters on Friday night aboard Air Force One, President Trump said, \u201cI looked at only the first part of the video and it was about voter fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said a staff member had watched the full video and later removed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Trump posted a video on his platform Truth Social in which a clip featured Obamas\u2019 faces superimposed onto an ape\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 79-year-old president was widely criticised. Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina urged the White House to remove the video, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s the most racist thing I have seen out of this White House.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if he would apologise for sharing the video, Trump said, \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t make a mistake. I mean, if I look at a lot of thousands of things, I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Trump condemned the racist part of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have yet to respond to Trump’s action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
