Metro53 - Washington (Web Desk) – U.S. President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video on social media depicting former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in a derogatory manner. The post faced intense criticism and was quickly deleted.
The video, considered offensive by political circles and the public alike, prompted the White House to claim that it was posted mistakenly by a staff member and removed immediately. However, the explanation drew further scrutiny from critics.
Former Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris stated that the White House’s defense could not convince the public, noting that Trump’s views and behavior are well known. Democratic leader Bernie Sanders also condemned the video and questioned whether Republican leaders would continue to remain silent in the face of such controversial behavior, calling for political figures to openly denounce it.
Trump later explained that he had not fully watched the video and removed it as soon as he realized it was inappropriate. He added that this was not an error, as he reviews thousands of materials daily and cannot scrutinize every post immediately.
The incident has reignited debates over Trump’s controversial persona and conduct, with analysts warning that such controversies may further polarize U.S. politics and could influence future presidential elections.
