Trump Calls Senator Scott Amid Controversy Over Satirical Video

Former President Donald Trump contacted Republican Senator Tim Scott on Saturday after a satirical video posted on Trump's account sparked controversy. The video featured Barack Obama and his wife in a manner deemed offensive, drawing inspiration from the film 'The Lion King.'

During the call, Trump stated that Scott "understands the situation completely," noting that he had not viewed the video in its entirety and was unaware of the inappropriate elements that offended some viewers.

Trump attributed the incident to one of his staff members, indicating that the content was removed as soon as the issue was identified. He declined to issue an official apology for the incident, as discussions continue regarding the acceptable boundaries of political satire and media representation.
