This resolution seeks to condemn and censure President Donald Trump for a social media post made on February 5, 2026. The post included a video with false claims about the 2020 election and depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as primates, which the resolution explicitly identifies as a long, well-understood racist trope . The resolution asserts that this action violates the President's oath of office, disgraces the Office of the President, and dishonors the United States. It notes that the post received bipartisan condemnation and was eventually removed after several hours, despite initial defense from White House officials. Ultimately, the resolution calls on President Trump to apologize for the post.
