00:02A new social media controversy is putting President Donald Trump back in the spotlight,

00:08this time after he re-shared a viral post that focused on Muslim kindergarten children

00:14wearing hijabs during their graduation ceremony. The post has triggered fresh accusations that

00:21Trump is amplifying anti-Muslim rhetoric. The controversy began after Trump re-shared a video

00:27on Truth Social showing kindergarten graduates from Gateway STEM Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota.

00:34The children were smiling, singing, and celebrating their graduation while wearing blue caps and gowns.

00:40Under their graduation caps, many of the girls were wearing hijabs. The original post came from

00:47the right-wing ex-account Endwokeness, which wrote,

00:50Public School in St. Paul, Minnesota. Every girl is in a hijab in kindergarten.

00:56Trump reposted the message without adding any comments of his own.

01:01That single repost quickly sparked criticism online. Civil rights advocates and many social

01:07media users argued that the post singled out young Muslim children simply because of their

01:13religious identity. Others defended the repost, saying it highlighted cultural changes in public

01:19schools. The backlash has also revived scrutiny of Trump's earlier remarks about Minnesota's Somali

01:25community. Last December, Trump referred to Representative Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants

01:32as garbage during a televised cabinet meeting. He also said he did not want them in the United

01:37States and criticized Somalia while discussing an alleged fraud investigation involving some

01:43members of the state's Somali diaspora. This is not the first time Trump's social media activity

01:49has drawn allegations of racism. Earlier this year, a video shared from his Truth Social account

01:56depicted Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes before it was later deleted. The White House said at

02:03the time that a staff member had mistakenly posted the video, while Press Secretary Caroline Levitt

02:08dismissed the outrage and defended the administration's position. Now, Trump's latest repost has once again

02:16ignited a national debate over religion, political messaging, and the impact of social media posts

02:22involving children. As criticism continues to grow, attention remains on whether the White House will

02:28offer any further explanation for the president's decision to share the viral post.
