Not to worry—Trump did not post a racist video about the Obamas
American Thinker ^ | 6 Feb, 2026 | Andrea Widburg

Having said that, the claim is going viral on the left, so you need to have your facts lined up to challenge your TDS-suffering friends and acquaintances.

esterday, Donald Trump posted an interesting video on his social media about voting machine election fraud in 2020. This is obviously a topic dear to his heart. Moreover, as the investigations in Fulton County, Georgia, demonstrate, it’s still a very hot and important topic (making it all the more bizarre that Senate Republicans will not push the SAVE Act, which aligns with the bipartisan public desire for election integrity). That Trump would post such a video is a no-brainer.

The problem with the video Trump posted is that it’s a dead certainty that he reposted it without bothering to watch the whole thing. Had he watched it to the end, he would have known that there was a problem.

You see, the video is a screen recording captured by an unknown third party. And what the unknown third party was also clearly unaware of (or, possibly, didn’t care about) was the automated beginning of another, entirely unrelated video.

So, what you get after 58 seconds of a serious video about a serious topic is two seconds of an automatically played video showing Michelle and Barack Obama’s heads attached to the cartoon bodies of simian creatures. (Apes? Chimps? I have no idea.) You can see for yourself what happened: [video at link]

As I can attest from my slow learning curve in making video-podcasts, failing to clip the end of a screen recording is a classic amateur mistake. That means it’s entirely possible that the person who recorded the serious election fraud video, like Trump himself, had turned his attention away in the last few seconds, because the real point

He is addicted to social media, easily mislead by news headlines, jumps too fast and makes inaccurate or stupid statements,

Sure he does. Nobody's perfect.

Trump & his cabinet need to educate all Americans not just FR and staunch conservatives. If he doesn’t reach out via X, social media, rallies & video he doesn’t reach the vast majority of Americans. To overcome the cheating he needs a very big turnout. It would be a betrayal of America not to get his message out so that all ages, all socioeconomic class, all levels of political engagement are aware of the issues and the dichotomy of their lives under democrat rule vs that being delivered by MAGA/MAHA/MEGA.

Trump also didn’t saying what he was accused of saying. He said quite accurately that some women were so eager to be close to the rich and famous that they would do anything for access.


Eddie Murphy said the same thing:

I don’t disagree. I just don’t see how “funny” videos do that. Leave that to others, and focus on the substance.

I would have guessed that Trump’s support on FR had gone south of 50 percent in FR. Am I wrong?


don’t confuse loudness of a few with the real thing.

The counter to repeated lies (by a few) is repeated truth. We think we can say the truth once and that is enough. I repeat things a lot here on FR with a purpose. Pretty soon, I get an echo. So does Trump, he understand human nature.

Here's the actual video Trump posted. There is very little actual video from the lion king meme, just a couple frames at the very end.

"Obama Ape Meme" is a hoax

Trump posted a long election fraud clip. At the end it autoscrolled to a different video *for a second* pic.twitter.com/DDPPEZjc8I— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) February 6, 2026

In the brief video clip… Michelle is the happiest I’ve ever seen her.

A lot like sending an e-mail that includes either an attachment or part of the thread that gets you in trouble.

The clip is accurate but not appropriate in most circles. Too bad.

A careless mistake, not unlike some emails we’ve all seen before that “got out” without proper screening. The difference in this case, of course, is that the president of the U.S. is the sender.

Team Trump was trying to be edgy and engaging with a hip meme and went over the line into classical racism.

Team Trump posted a good video on election cheating. A part of some short meme was tacked on to the end of it. Trump said that the team ws not aware of the tacked on short meme at the end.

Your familiarity with the facts is poor as is your judgement.

She was in the background before the interview. She has returned to being in the background after the interview.

Isn't there something more important you could be posting about?
