The ongoing softening of President Donald Trump hit a major snag Friday after Trump's Truth Social account posted a video meme depicting his first Oval Office predecessors Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
Lasting about a minute long, the video repeated unsubstantiated voter fraud allegations from the 2020 presidential election – which Trump lost to Joe Biden – before the recording quickly shifted to a clip of the Obamas.
Trump told NBC News anchor Tom Llamas on Wednesday, Feb. 4, that his White House could offer a "softer touch" on immigration after the fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti amid anti-ICE protests last month.

And Llamas revealed that Trump had called with well wishes for the family of Nancy Guthrie, the missing and allegedly abducted mother of the network's morning show star Savannah Guthrie.
