Trump's Racist Meme Sparks Outrage, Nuclear Talks Loom

Former President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism after sharing a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes on his Truth Social account. The video, which was deleted from Trump's account on Friday, included an AI-generated clip set to the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" that featured images of the Obamas' faces imposed on the bodies of apes in a jungle setting (Time).

The clip was part of a longer video promoting conspiracy theories about voting fraud during the 2020 presidential election, according to Time. The depiction of the Obamas as apes is in line with a centuries-old racist trope that has historically been used to justify dehumanization. The post was made during the first week of Black History Month.

Trump's actions are drawing condemnation from both Republicans and Democrats. The incident comes as Trump's harsh immigration tactics are also taking a political hit, with new polls showing a majority of Americans feel federal agents have "gone too far" in enforcing immigration policies (NPR News).

In other news, the United States and Iran are set to hold talks regarding the nuclear program (NPR Politics). Additionally, Democrats have unveiled a new list of demands related to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to NPR Politics.
