After a massive outrage over an objectionable post by the US President Donald Trump, the White House said on Friday (Feb 6) that it was "made in error by a staff member, and has been removed". A White House official told AFP, "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down." Trump's spokeswoman had dismissed "fake outrage" over the post.<h2>What was the post?</h2>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-wants-new-improved-nuclear-treaty-with-russia-says-us-to-introduce-battleships-100x-better-than-those-during-ww-2-1770322884405">Trump wants ‘new, improved’ nuclear treaty with Russia; says US to introduce battleships '100X better than those during WW 2'</a>&nbsp;Trump sparked outrage after he posted a video on his Truth Social account that depicted former president Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as monkeys.
