ICYMI ... the video, which Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday night, showed Barack and Michelle's faces imposed on a pair of apes ... and as we know, depicting Black people as monkeys or apes is a racist trope that's been around for centuries.

Trump, meanwhile, imposed his own face on a lion's body.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told TMZ ... "This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King.
