President #DonaldTrump is facing a firestorm of criticism after sharing a one-minute election conspiracy video on #TruthSocial that includes a racist depiction of former President #BarackObama and #MichelleObama. The clip, posted late on February 5, 2026, repeats debunked claims that #DominionVotingSystems helped steal the 2020 election before ending with a brief scene of the Obamas’ faces superimposed on the bodies of monkeys dancing to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Critics, including #GavinNewsom and #HakeemJeffries, have slammed the imagery as "disgusting" and "dehumanizing," especially as the post comes during #BlackHistoryMonth.
