Barack Obama has responded to a video that was briefly posted by President Trump that depicted him and Michelle Obama as apes. As previously reported by the WLT Report, President Trump received backlash last week from Democrats after posting a video on Truth Social that featured Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The video was quickly deemed racist by liberal and even some conservatives. However, the video featuring the Obamas as apes appeared at the end of the video posted on Trump’s Truth Social account and lasted only about 2 seconds, whereas the majority of the video discussed voting machine flaws in the 2020 general election. The section depicting Obama as an ape appeared to be from an entirely different video and only appeared because the person who screen-recorded the video accidentally didn’t cut out the autoplay video that was next. Here was the full video: Senator Scott, this was a meme that auto-played on a screen recording of the actual video he posted.

Obama made the comparison while addressing a controversial video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account earlier this month that briefly depicted the former president and his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, as apes. Trump has refused to apologize for the video despite strong bipartisan backlash. Instead, the White House blamed a staffer for “erroneously” making the post, and it was taken down. “I think it’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama told host Brian Tyler Cohen on his “No Lie” podcast.

Trump continued to downplay the image depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, a racist trope used to dehumanize Black people, that was shared to his social media account last week. The post was deleted after widespread backlash, including from several Republicans who had called for Trump to apologize — which he’s so far refused to do. “Have you fired or disciplined that staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?” a reporter asked the president on Thursday as he took questions at an unrelated event at the White House. “No I haven’t,” Trump said. Here was Trump’s response to the video being posted: BREAKING: Liberals are livid after President Trump told the Fake News to SHOVE IT, he’s NOT firing the staffer who accidentally posted the Obama ape meme “NO…no, [I won’t apologize]. I didn’t make a mistake! It was a takeoff of Lion King.” NEVER APOLOGIZE, 47! pic.twitter.com/E0UY5n8iJO — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 7, 2026

The family of Texas businessman and former gubernatorial candidate Don Huffines owns Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Huffines, who served in the Texas Senate from 2015 to 2019, is currently running to become the state’s comptroller. According to Santa Fe New Mexican, the ranch was “purchased in 2023 by a limited liability company created just a month before the purchase.” “Four years after Mr. Epstein’s death, the Huffines family purchased property in New Mexico listed at public auction whose proceeds benefited his victims,” Huffines’ campaign spokesperson Allen Blakemore said, according to The Texas Tribune. New: The family of Don Huffines, a former Republican Texas senator who is now campaigning to become the state’s comptroller, bought the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico after the child sex trafficker and molester died. https://t.co/qdhlGdY179 — Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) February 13, 2026 Santa Fe New Mexican explained further: Records obtained by The New Mexican also show the ranch has been renamed San Rafael Ranch and its address, formerly 49 Zorro Ranch Road, is now 49 Rancho San Rafael Road. The change was made in 2024. The ownership was previously unreported. Epstein died in 2019 in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. The property was listed for sale in July 2021 for $27.5 million; a published report later said the sale price had dropped to $18 million. In 2023, San Rafael Ranch LLC bought Epstein’s sprawling property for an undisclosed price. The buyers behind San Rafael Ranch LLC have been private. New Mexico is one of a handful of states allowing anonymous ownership of property through limited liability companies. Blakemore said the Huffines family had never visited the property before the auction listing. The spokesperson did not answer questions about the purpose of the property purchase. NEW: The family of Texas businessman and political candidate Donald Huffines have been identified as the owners of Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in southern Santa Fe County, which was purchased in 2023 by a limited liability company. https://t.co/M6pro294HY — Santa Fe New Mexican (@thenewmexican) February 13, 2026 More from The Texas Tribune: A limited liability corporation tied to the Huffines family bought the property in 2023 for an undisclosed amount, and later protested its valuation to $13.4 million for tax purposes in part because of the “notoriety” of the property, according to the New Mexico newspaper. Public records received by the paper tied Huffines to the company. Huffines, a businessman, previously served in the Texas Senate representing the Dallas area. He unsuccessfully challenged Gov. Greg Abbott in 2022. A poll released this week showed he is heading into early voting next week with a steady lead over the other candidates in the primary for comptroller. The comptroller acts as the state’s chief financial officer, managing the state’s taxes, investments and other duties. Huffines faces Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock, a former state senator appointed to the job last summer by Abbott, Michael Berlanga and Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick in the March 3 Republican primary. The revelation of the ownership arrived in the wake of the latest release of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice about Epstein, whose death has created conspiracy theories due to the billionaire’s connections to the nation’s powerful — from elected officials to university leaders — and has become a political conundrum for Republicans across the nation.
