As a black Republican senator calls it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House", the administration says "stop the fake outrage".

President Donald Trump's Truth Social account shared, then deleted, a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Why ...

The video clip that President Trump posted in a late-night flurry of social media activity caused an unusually strong and public outcry from members of his own party.
