Former President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video depicting monkeys, which has been widely criticized as a racist attack on former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The video sparked backlash due to its offensive content and the use of racially charged imagery.
This incident adds to the ongoing tension between Trump and the Obamas, which dates back to Trump’s promotion of the “birther” conspiracy theory questioning Barack Obama’s birthplace and legitimacy as president.
**Why this matters**
The video highlights the continuing use of racially sensitive and divisive content in political discourse. It raises concerns about the impact of AI technology in spreading harmful stereotypes and the potential for such content to deepen political and social divisions.
