Donald Trump acknowledged that he personally approved posting a controversial video on his social media account which included a racist image depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Speaking on Air Force One, Trump claimed he only watched the beginning of the 62-second clip and did not see the offensive segment placed near the end. The video also repeated conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

The White House had first defended the post, later saying an aide uploaded it without the president’s knowledge before deleting it. Trump contradicted that explanation, admitting he authorized the upload but blamed staff for not reviewing the full content.
