Donald Trump told reporters he will not apologize for the racist video he shared depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. 

The president spoke publicly for the first time since the video was released - to outrage from both Democrats and Republicans - on Air Force One Friday night and maintained he did nothing wrong.

'I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it,' said Trump, noting he 'didn't see' the part where the Obamas were imposed on the bodies of apes.

'What I saw in the beginning was really strong. It was about fraudulent elections. Anytime I see that stuff and it’s credible, you put it up. I didn’t do it. This was done by someone else. It was a re-truth but that was a very strong truth,' Trump added. 

Trump also said that the staffer the White House alleged posted the video will not be fired.
