Trump Faces Backlash Over AI Video Depicting Obamas as Monkeys

  • Donald Trump shared an AI video on Truth Social showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys, sparking widespread condemnation.
  • The video, which also pushed false claims about the 2020 election, featured the Obamas' faces on monkey bodies for about one second.
  • Democrats and public figures, including California Governor Gavin Newsom's office and Ben Rhodes, criticized the post.
  • The White House dismissed the criticism as "fake outrage," stating the video was an internet meme depicting Trump as the "King of the Jungle."
  • Trump has increasingly used AI and hyper-realistic imagery to attack critics, including a previous AI clip of Obama in an orange jumpsuit.
