Trump Discusses Controversial Satirical Video with Senator Scott

President Donald Trump held a phone conversation on Saturday with Republican Senator Tim Scott amid controversy surrounding a satirical video shared on Trump's social media account. The video portrayed former President Barack Obama and his wife in a derogatory manner, drawing inspiration from the film 'The Lion King.'

During the call, Trump stated that Scott "understood the situation 100%" and admitted he had not fully viewed the video, failing to notice the offensive segment that upset many viewers.

Trump also attributed the issue to one of his staff members, noting that the content was removed promptly once the problem was identified. He declined to issue a formal apology for the incident, as discussions continue regarding the acceptable limits of political and media satire.
