President Donald Trump published a conspiracy video about the elections where he shows former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as if they were monkeys, an action that generates controversy due to the racism it implies.

The main objective of the production created using Artificial Intelligence is to to revive—without any evidence—the version that blames the vote-counting company Dominion Voting Systems for allegedly helping to steal the 2020 election from Trump. However, what is generating the most controversy is a fleeting and sudden animation linked to the Obama family.

At the end of a video just over a minute long, shared on the Truth Social platform with the title “Trump: King of the Jungle,” the faces of Barack and Michelle Obama appear superimposed on the bodies of monkeys, with palm trees in the background, while the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” from the movie “The Lion King,” plays.

This action immediately provoked outrage among several critics of Donald Trump, and one of the first to demand that he be held accountable was Gavin Newsom, governor of California, who, through his office, issued a statement on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Disgusting behavior by the president. Every Republican should denounce him.” “Now,” he indicated.

For his part, Ben Rhodes, former national security advisor and close confidant of Barack Obama, joined in the criticism against the New York tycoon.

“Let Trump and his racist followers obsess over the idea that future Americans will regard the Obamas as beloved figures, while he will be seen as a stain on our history,” he also wrote in X.

It should be noted that this is not the first time Donald Trump has used a video to mock Barack Obama,Last year he had already shared another one showing the former Democratic president allegedly being arrested in the Oval Office and then inside a prison wearing an orange jumpsuit.
