A controversial AI-generated video posted to President Donald Trump's Truth Social account has been deleted following intense backlash from the usual suspects in the legacy media and progressive activist circles.
The post, which contained a snippet from a broader AI video depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in an unflattering manner, was removed from the platform after what critics are calling "bipartisan backlash" - though the reaction appears to come primarily from the same voices who have spent years attacking Trump at every turn.
The deletion represents a rare instance of the Trump administration backing down from social media content, coming just hours after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt initially dismissed what she called "fake outrage" over the post.
Left-Wing Activists Seize the Moment
As expected, progressive activists and anti-Trump accounts immediately pounced on the controversy. @SmaIITownTruth posted: "Trump posted a racist AI video depicting the Obamas as primates—then deleted it after bipartisan backlash. His long history of dehumanizing Black Americans is not new."
Another account, @OurCommMedia, echoed similar sentiments: "Trump deleted a racist AI video showing the Obamas as primates—after bipartisan backlash. This isn't new behavior, it's a pattern."
"The deletion, a rare admission of a misstep by the White House, came hours after press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed 'fake outrage' over the post."
What's particularly telling is how quickly the same media apparatus that spent years defending every controversial statement from the previous administration suddenly discovered their moral compass when it comes to social media posts.
The Real Story
While the content was clearly inappropriate and rightly removed, Americans should ask themselves: why does the mainstream media seem more concerned with policing Trump's social media than they ever were with the Biden administration's actual policy failures that hurt working families?
This controversy will undoubtedly dominate news cycles while real issues affecting everyday Americans - like border security, inflation, and government overreach - get pushed to the back burner. Is this really what our political discourse has come to?
