President Donald Trump declined to apologize for sharing a video depicting former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as apes, telling reporters "I didn't make a mistake."
Trump told reporters while traveling on Air Force One to Florida on Feb. 6 that he only looked at the beginning of the roughly one-minute long video, which starts off talking about unsubstantiated voter fraud claims regarding the 2020 election, and didn't see the portion with the Obamas that has been widely condemned as racist.
"I just looked at the first part... I didn't see the whole thing," Trump said, indicating he gave it to someone else to post and "somebody slipped and missed a very small part."
I guess probably nobody reviewed the end of it," Trump said.

(195,571 posts)The first excuse - it was a staffer - couldnt hold with him because it would mean hes not all knowing and all powerful.
Then he admits that he doesnt have enough attention span to get through a 1 minute video.
He actually doesnt show it but when the reporter asks him if it was a mistake that was a jolt to his system. The idea of him ever admitting something was a mistake isnt in his universe but he actually said the word mistake. His inner circle probably had to pile on with effusive praise for him.
