President Trump claims he was as surprised as anyone about the imagery in a video he shared earlier in the day of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes … but he sure as hell isn’t sorry.<\/p>\n
Here’s the deal … the president’s Truth Social account posted a video depicting the Obamas as apes … which was met with swift blowback and condemnation on social media and from many on Capitol Hill. The White House initially said the video was fine … but it was later deleted over all the heat.<\/p>\n

Trump was pressed by reporters this afternoon aboard Air Force One … and he pleaded ignorance, saying all he knew was the video was a commentary on voter fraud — and had no idea about the Obamas being depicted as apes in the jungle.<\/p>\n
Trump punted any responsibility … and laid blame on his staff, saying they clearly did not look closely enough at the video before posting.<\/p>\n
Naturally, when asked if he would apologize, Trump said nah … since he had no idea about the racist depiction, he had nothing to be sorry for.<\/p>\n
