Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash
President Donald Trump says he won't apologize for posting a racist video of the Obamas. Trump told reporters that, “I didn't make a mistake,” as he flew to Florida on Friday. A racist post on Trump's social media account depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle was taken down earlier Friday after the White House initially defended the Republican president’s Thursday night post. The post was deleted after widespread backlash for its treatment of the nation’s first Black president and first lady, both Democrats. Black and white Republicans joined civil rights advocates in criticizing the post as racist.
