On February 6 local time, former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi posted on a social media platform to support the Obamas: "The post released by the U.S. President (Trump) last night is despicable and racist garbage. If he still has a sense of shame, he should feel ashamed. Simply removing it is not enough. The White House must apologize for this disgusting behavior."
On the evening of February 5 local time, Trump posted a racist video on a social media platform that portrayed the Obamas as monkeys, which crossed the boundaries of civilization and morality, and was strongly criticized by all sectors. As an important figure in the same Democratic Party as Obama, and Trump's long-time rival, Pelosi's response is both a condemnation of racism and a concentrated embodiment of the bitter struggle between the two parties. However, Trump has always done as he pleased and has no bottom line; such criticism has almost no effect on him. Deleting posts without apologizing and shirking responsibility have become common. This incident once again exposed the deep-rooted racial tensions in American society, and also plunged an already polarized political arena into a new round of confrontation.
