January 1, Trump Defies Calls to Apologize Over Viral Video

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump removed a controversial video but won’t say sorry.
• Media and politicians slammed the video as racist, demanding an apology.
• Trump says he didn’t watch the full video and stands firm against critics.

Trump faced heat for sharing a video where political leaders, including the Obamas, were shown as animals. The political class called it racist and demanded an apology, but Trump stood his ground.

The video focused on claims of election fraud but ended with clips showing politicians as animals. Trump said he saw only the first part and didn’t notice the controversial ending.

“Of course” he condemned the offensive parts, but he won’t apologize, saying, “No, I didn’t make a mistake.” The post was quickly removed after backlash, including from Republicans.

A White House official said, “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.” Trump refuses to fire the staffer or cave to demands from the media and his critics.

The same video depicted other public figures as animals, not just the Obamas. It’s another case of the left creating outrage, while Trump refuses to play along.

Trump has a history of standing his ground. He doesn’t change his ways for critics and urges his team to be more careful going forward.

Many Republicans spent the day calling for Trump to denounce the video, but he isn’t backing down.

Never apologize. Stand your ground when the media mob comes after you.
