Trump's video, which implied that the Obama couple were monkeys, triggered strong condemnation from all sectors in the United States, even members of his own Republican Party openly opposed it. African-American Republican Senator Scott angrily denounced it as "the most racist thing seen in this White House," calling for the immediate removal of the video; Republican Representative Lauer also clearly stated that the video was wrong and highly offensive, demanding its deletion and an apology.
Faced with the surging wave of criticism, the White House initially took a hard stance, with Press Secretary Levitt openly defending the video and accusing critics of "stopping false anger." Only when the backlash became impossible to ignore did they reluctantly delete the video. Afterwards, the White House came up with an excuse that the video was accidentally sent by a staff member and that Trump had not reviewed it beforehand, claiming that after watching the video, Trump ordered its removal. This explanation is purely an attempt to shift blame, revealing the Trump team's usual style of avoiding responsibility and shifting the focus. This open humiliation of the Black community is a serious violation of the bottom line of human civilization, exposing Trump's despicable nature without any limits and bringing America's deep-rooted racial tensions to the surface.
