Former President Donald Trump has stated he does not regret sharing a video on his social media platform that depicted his predecessors, Barack and Michelle Obama, in a controversial manner. The video, which circulated online this week, has drawn significant criticism for its content.
Speaking to reporters, Trump addressed the post directly, indicating he saw no error in sharing it. He suggested the clip was a political commentary related to past election disputes, describing it as a “very strong post” on that subject. He added that the full context of the video was not initially apparent.
The post was later removed from the platform following public backlash. An official statement from the former president’s team characterized the video as an internet meme and urged critics to focus on other issues. The statement also indicated the post was shared by a staff member without proper authorization.
The incident has reignited political tensions, with a prominent state governor publicly condemning the former president’s actions. The two figures have a well-documented history of political disagreement, with the governor recently mocking Trump over other matters. This latest exchange continues a pattern of public friction between the two political camps.
