President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he walks in the South Lawn before departing the White House, on Friday, in Washington, DC. The White House said after it was removed that a staffer had posted it in error. Trump stopped short of apologizing for the video, which superimposed images of the Obamas’ faces over animation of apes. It was fine,” Trump said, referring to the first part of the video that contained debunked claims about fraud in voting machines. Trump confirmed he’d spoken to GOP Sen. Tim Scott, who called the video the “most racist thing” he’d seen from the Trump White House.
