Trump Deletes Video Amid Backlash

Donald Trump’s team has deleted a racist video from his social media feed, just hours after the White House press secretary dismissed criticism of the clip as ‘fake outrage’. The video, which portrayed the Obamas as apes, sparked widespread outrage and calls for the president to take it down.

A Sudden Change of Heart

It’s unclear what prompted the sudden change of heart, but it’s clear that someone on Trump’s team finally realized the video was a bad idea. The White House press secretary had initially defended the clip, saying critics were overreacting. But by Friday evening, the video had vanished from Trump’s social media feed.
