What changed

President Trump reportedly reposted a video on Truth Social that portrayed Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, imagery widely condemned as racist. The post was reportedly later deleted after public outcry, including criticism from some Republicans. The content was described by critics as an AI-driven meme/deepfake-style clip, an example of purportedly AI-amplified racist propaganda and harm to social trust.
