Barack Obama finally breaks his silence on Donald Trump’s AI ape video of him and Michelle
Donald Trump shared a controversial AI-generated video depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes earlier this year. Now, Barack Obama is sharing his thoughts on the matter.
Trump said during an Oval Office press conference in February: “That was a video on, as you know, voter fraud. A fairly long video that had a little piece that had to do with ‘The Lion King’. ”
He added: “It’s doing very well, it’s being shown all over the place. Long before that was posted. That was a very strong – I’m sure you saw it – piece on voter fraud.
The piece that you’re talking about was all over the place, many times, I believe, for years.”
Barack Obama breaks his silence
Barack Obama has now addressed the controversy in an interview with The New Yorker, saying he does not necessarily view it as a personal attack — but feels differently when it comes to his family.
I would never talk about somebody’s family in that way.”

Obama also expressed concern over the AI-generated videos Trump has shared, saying they treat war “like a video game” and show “excrement dumped on ordinary citizens. ”
