The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Posts, Then Deletes Video Depicting Obamas as Apes
President Trump posted—and later deleted—a video online that included imagery depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes, prompting swift condemnation from Democrats and Republicans.
The video was deleted late Friday morning, after the White House initially defended it, following calls from lawmakers of both parties to remove it. The White House blamed a staffer for posting the video.
The roughly one-minute video, which was posted on Truth Social at 11:44 p.m. on Thursday, features a narrator questioning the security of voting machines used in competitive states in the 2020 election. In the final seconds of the video, images of the Obamas’ faces on the bodies of cartoon apes appear. They bob their heads against the backdrop of a jungle as the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” plays.
The imagery plays into longstanding racist tropes dehumanizing Black people. It prompted rare pushback from Republican lawmakers, many of whom are reluctant to criticize the president publicly.
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, one of the highest-ranking Black Republicans in Washington, criticized Trump’s post. “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” he wrote early Friday on social media, calling on Trump to remove it.
Earlier Friday, the White House defended the president, saying the imagery of the Obamas was a clip from an internet meme that portrays Trump as a lion and Democrats as cartoon animals.
On Friday, Jeffries wrote on social media that the Obamas “represent the best of our country” and called Trump vile and unhinged. “Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by this sick individual? Every single Republican must immediately denounce Donald Trump’s disgusting bigotry,” Jeffries said, referring to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R., S.D.).
Rep. Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) called the president’s post “wrong and incredibly offensive—whether intentional or a mistake—and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered.”

The above view is false.
This will have big consequences in the midterm elections.
Lesson Not Learned
It is ridiculous to believe Trump will learn anything ever, from anything.
Seems the “Fake Outrage” Was Real
Look, you don’t share this “by mistake”. Did Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, put this together?
A Question of Timing
What staffer is posting racist videos in the president’s name overnight?
Question of the Day
“What do you mean a random staffer has unfettered access to the most powerful man in the world’s phone in the middle of the night? and they can post things? and no one reviews it?”

Politico Chimes In
Please consider Trump Deletes Racist Post
Late last night, as the fifth day of Black History Month came to a close, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account was pushing out posts. That wasn’t unusual — the president is known for nocturnally posting or reposting sometimes dozens of videos and memes. But one clip among last night’s crop was unlike the others: At 11:44 p.m., Trump posted a video that included a depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
Trump is no stranger to racist rhetoric, in particular about Obama, and vulgarity has become something of a calling card for the White House’s official communications. When Trump during last year’s government shutdown posted an AI-generated video of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries dressed as mariachi performers, for example, the White House doubled down in the face of criticism, reposting iterations of the video and even playing it on the screens in the White House briefing room.
That appeared to be the White House’s initial strategy this morning. Around 9 a.m., press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the post was simply “an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King.” She added: “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”
But some of the strongest “fake outrage” came from the president’s biggest allies.
“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the only Black Republican in the Senate, said in an X post at 9:43 a.m.
The criticism only grew from there. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) at 10:17 a.m. called the post “wrong and incredibly offensive — whether intentional or a mistake.” Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) at 11:43 a.m. said “a reasonable person sees the racist context to this.” Five minutes later, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said the video was “totally unacceptable.” All three called for Trump to take down the post and apologize.
Just before noon, about 12 hours after the original posting, the White House said the post had been deleted. An anonymous White House official placed the blame on an unnamed White House staffer, saying they had “erroneously made” the post. It was not immediately clear who in the White House has access to the president’s Truth Social account. It was also unclear if any of the other posts that appeared on Trump’s account last night were made by the unnamed staffer — and if so, how many were authorized.
At 12:48 p.m., well after the White House indicated that the post was removed, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said the “racist images” were “offensive, heart breaking, and unacceptable.” He echoed his colleagues urging Trump to issue an apology.
As of publication, Trump has not publicly addressed the incident — though his account has posted several times since noon.
Most Racist Thing
The comment by Republican Senator Tim Scott is telling. Scott says the video is ‘the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House’.
Q: Does “most” imply others?
A: Yes
Moral Authority
Scott is typically a vocal Trump backer. He has criticized Mr. Trump at times, including for the president’s 2017 comment that there were “very fine people on both sides” of a clash between White supremacist groups and protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia. Scott told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” after those comments that Mr. Trump’s moral authority had been “compromised.”
Rapists and pedophile protectors have no moral authority. Trump has no moral authority and never did.
Who is the staffer? Was anyone fired?
It is impossible to walk this back. Impossible.
Backlash Will Spread … Further

On January 25, I commented Not Your Imagination, Trump Is Getting More Extreme Over Time, Here’s Why
Narcissism. Five Reasons why it tends to get more extreme with age.
As Trump sinks further and further behind in the polls, expect even more racist and vile attacks on everyone who speaks against him. Thomas Massie and MTG are just the start.
Similarly, as Trump’s looks and mental capacity shrink with age, expect more idiotic executive orders and incoherent proposals.
Trump craves attention, and he is guaranteed to get it. Nearly all of it will be damaging to himself.
Trump is a racist, vile, disgusting, pedophile-protecting rapist.
To get the adoration that he craves, Trump will have to do more things to appeal to the racist, vile, disgusting, pedophile-protecting MAGA cult that defends him.
It’s that simple.
This racism thing is sure confusing. Obamas as apes is racist but Joe Biden as an ape eating a banana is not racist. Whoopi Goldberg as a hippo is not racist. Hakeem Jeffries as a meerkat is not racist. Trump gets depicted as an orange orangutan but no one says boo. Not racist? Seems like racism is à la carte when it comes to funny cartoons.
Nuclear weapons are under control of the infantile mind of Trump.

it was done INTENTIONALLY TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM Epstein FILES!
We should not debate whether offense should be taken of Obama, or Trump being projected as an Ape or Lion. . We should object that Lions and apes were projected as being Obama or Trump.
Taking Trump’s racism one step farther, you’re claiming the Obama’s are sub-marsupial. I didn’t think you could be more racist than Trump, but your determination there is really impressive commitment to the cause.
this is me caring- boo hoo
Blocked. Adios.
depending on the person it can be a compliment if someone doesn’t like you
Sorry Mish isn’t racist enough for you
mish. i applaud you for having a backbone and guts to call out complete hate and nazi like behavior. i tip my hat to you. you are a damn good analyst too. please keep up the real estate analysis and forecasting. i remember from 20 years ago, you were dead on with the deflationary collapse of that asset class. i profited by waiting until the storm had passed and picked up incredible properties with 20% cap rates…………….thank you
could you stop kissing some one;s ass?
Trump may have bigger problems than this really dumb social media posts. Seems Melania has turned on him and if true his 34 counts of bank fraud may be solid, even expanded. I have not seen this anywhere but this video, which is shocking given the hatred for Trump. It may also be wishful thinking. I tend to think Trump is about to be involved in another divorce.

Insulting to apes.
Appalling post…do you teach your kids to behave like this.
blocking you, for being a nazi hate monger. avoiding assholes in life online and in real life is my life’s hobby.
Good lord, this man is President of the United Sates, not the drunk loser sitting at the end of the bar, muttering into his beer while watching FOX “News.”
This lack of judgement and impulse control is evidence of Trump’s decent into senility.
It’s funny how the left is selectively outraged over stuff like this. All a political bullshit operation. I personally don’t think it’s racism to mock others, even over their race. It’s called humor. Further, I think the video is hilarious. Assholes like Mish need to stop being so thin-skinned and quick to judge.
Whay a fucking cunt you are. Mother fucking cunt. Go suck all the dicks you fucking cunt.
Well said, lol.
Dude, not sure you can use the word ‘bunt’ here, but in my humble opinion your analysis is spot on.
the millenial chics i know say cunt all the time to describe the men in amerika………..they are spot on.
You are pathetic.
Lighten up Francis.
No bots allowed.
If you can not see that this “mocking” is at it’s core racist then you are part of the problem. If this kind of thing is “harmless humor” why did KKK members wear hoods?
I love good dry humor. But some things are BOTH morally and incorrect for fellow citizens. Much less if you are supposed to represent some level of dignity and class incumbent on your duties. All the more so for elected democracy.
Is there “no bridge too far” for you?
Lol, yeah, the KKK didn’t “mock” black people. They lynched them. So your argument fails miserably.
The left, middle and most of the right aren’t “selectively” outraged at all. They are purely outraged by this abject display of ignorant racism. It makes all of us look like a bunch of trailer park trash morons. Not just Trump voters.
RE: Trump, You can take the person out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of …
Isn’t it racist to call out the mocking of black public politicians, yet saying nothing about the same mocking of other races of politicians? It’s like you think black people need your protection?
blocking you, for being a nazi hate monger. avoiding assholes in life online and in real life is my life’s hobby.
Exactly they behavior I expect from liberals. Enjoy!
stop the preses !
upon furthur review, the call is reversed !
the video is a racist attack on trump. portraying him as a white king of beasts is the racist part of the video .
*the video maker is the racist . id that person and reveal the man behind the racist curtain… that guy !
Keep up the attacks….
and, before you know it, ….
we’ll have a brand new demented Democrat in the White House.
The borders will be wide open, tens of millions more illegals will invade, vote in US elections, the children will be transed, the world will be on climate change fire again, and every white American will be called a racist.
Let’s hear it for diversity and the subversion of every bit of common sense, a cohesive national identity, and assimilation!
Get your facts straight. This a defense of the Constitution, not an attack. Trump has done everything in his power to ignore the Constitution which he swore to protect.
Defend the Constitution….
Do you mean like Joe Biden did?
Were you his supporter?
Would you prefer that he were in office still?
Or maybe a retard like Harris?
Whatabout ?
This is the duplicity, and hypocrisy.
Its essential the ‘constitution’ be followed NOW.
But this very problem was created by violation of the Constitution. But THAT wasn’t a problem.
Fuck off, pig.
Well said sir!!!!!!
You are an intelligent fellow.
That’s absolutely the plan of all these people. Whether they want that admitted here or elsewhere.
Virtue signalling has consequences– for other people alone in these peoples minds.
We have a demented, racist, economic nutcase, pedophile protector, rapist in the White House who has less respect for the Constitution than any president on history.
Only cultists do not see this.
TDS.
There are those who hate Trump.
There are those who love Trump.
Both are TDS cases.
Both are cultists.
In the real world, we are offered two candidates.
One side offers political subversion and lawlessness to the country.
The other an attempt to restore law and order.
Take your pick.
You’ve chosen lawlessness.
We require two separate countries.
Mostly Wrong and mostly stupid.
I agree there is TDS Type I and II.
But to present Trump as the law and order candidate is beyond idiotic.
Look in the mirror to see someone defending a rapist, pedophile protector, economic idiot crude asshole.
You are hopeless.
Very well said
Is that to say that mass Illegal migration – and belligerent mayors and governors who defy immigration law – are upholding the Constitution and law and order?
What amount of TDS would be required to come to that conclusion?
There are a great many ways that American sovereignty and security have been sabotaged since the sixties cultural revolution.
It needs to be reversed.
The immigrants are legally obliged to a hearing. Where are they?
The constitution prohibits unreasonable searches without a judicial warrant. Where are they?
We have accidentally deported US citizens. Where is your outrage?
ICE has killed US citizens and Trump is covering it up. Where is your outrage?
You are nothing but a racist, hypocrite, bigot who pretends to be law and order.
Immigrants in America illegally are entitled to nothing.
Nothing but deportation.
(And the mayors, governors, and ‘protestors’ who stand in belligerent opposition can go with them.)
If an ICE agent decides someone is an illegal immigrant, how do we determine whether that person is actually an illegal immigrant before they are deported? Under the law (which you claim to care about) there is this annoying presumption of innocence, and people have the right to due process—including the ability to a hearing and to produce evidence to a judge showing that they are here lawfully.
But the reality is you don’t really believe in law and order at all, do you? Just deport those people with dark skin who have an accent, right?
You are un-American to your core.
Okay. You win.
Let’s just do nothing while the US is overrun with illegal invaders.
You are a true American.
Why would you want to do nothing, rather than simply take action legally?
There have been 2.5 million deported so far (2 million or so voluntarily).
Are you saying that they’ve all been lawless deportations?
After so many years, particularly under the traitor Biden, it’s a gigantic project to reverse.
Yes the task is hard, so the choices are:
You certainly should agree with the idea of TDS Type 1 and 11.
You’ve become an outspoken representative of TDS Type 11.
Ironic this dummy wants to talk about TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) when what we should obviously be discussing is Trump’s ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome.)
In general, the people suffering from TDS have been proven to be the most prescient among us. Just about every negative claim about Trump has been proven and then some.
So…keep on attacking Trump and help elect another subversive who will continue the destruction of America through open-border mass migration.
You may come to regret the part you played in bringing it about.
The idea that migration is bad for America is just about the dumbest shit ever. I would happily trade every single Trump voter in America for an equal number of young people from south of the border. They are young, they work hard, and they want a shot at the American dream. Compared to racist, entitled, old, unhealthy pedophile supporting freaks… it would be a huge win for America.
Your opinion is a perfect example of why I believe that the country needs to divide in two.
Hmmm… whatever Mish. Judge on…
LOL. Vote in US elections? Most immigrants, even those without formal education, know full well that voting doesn’t change anything for anyone. It is mainly the US citizens who are deluded enough to think that voting can make a difference.
I’m not surprised. I’ve seen enough to know he’s the kind of person you keep you guard up. He’s got deep ties into all these racist organizations. His Daddy was in the KKK. David Duke loves him. His Daddy also ran a brothel so that’s consistent – women are items.
Not sure how many people in his staff have white supremacy or Nazi tattoos but I know at least Hegseth has several. I will easily take bets there are more.
He’s got a lot of friends who really get off on Nazi Salutes – just ask Musk and Bovino.. I am certain there are others but I’m not going to dive that deep into the pig shit.
Look at the people who gravitate to him. He’s exactly the kind of shit we went war over in 1941 and 75 million people died. I guess the world didn’t learn their lesson enough then.
Since then, we have been working together on a world that doesn’t depend on wars and oppression to get things done. The world has been much better for it in every way imaginable. 60 years later is there some “progress” that isn’t optimum? Possibly but more likely its just progress that people can’t cope with – like civil rights or human rights. Those weren’t much of a thing before 1941 but there’s no going back.
The question now is, how many people will have to die this time?
PRO TIP. the Soviet Army killed over 80% of the nazis. suicide to go to war against china and russia……..and the whole world. we have no allies, anymore. israel is our bitch. they would get over run.
The Russians are bogged down and have taken hundreds of thousands of casualties in a war against a country with the same population as California. They’re not what they used to be. Their main advantage is a callous disregard for the lives of their own soldiers.
ok sun tzu. why don’t you go to ukraine with your money and bring your family and fight. report back to mish and company on how that goes.
That’s not how this works, LOL. Also I meant to add, Russia’s second big advantage (after the callous disregard of their own soldiers’ lives) is their callous disregard for civilian lives.
It’s a proxy war.
The Russians are fighting the collective NATO. At least, what’s left of it as a result of their criminal war.
They already went hat-in-hand to the Norks. Maybe in some alternate universe, they didn’t piss off just about every other power in the world. And no country is sending troops to Ukraine. Yeah they have allies providing materiel, but this all comes down to Ukrainians putting their lives on the line for their country.
You watch too much TV.
The Ukrainians have been destroyed being pawns for the NATO gangsters.
Right that’s why Putin had to beg for ammo from Kim Jong Dim
Something I don’t understand nazis got their ass handed to them twice nonetheless they continue somebody has to make them aware on Einstein thoughts about doing the same thing over and over…
Is this a bot?
Did i hurt your feeling guys…..
Step 1. Make sense
Twice? The Nazi movement didn’t exist in WWI. But perhaps you are counting the Ukraine regime.
Or perhaps George is an AI bot
I’ve always laughed at our culture and how they value somebody’s perceived civility, while they still find ways to do one over on you. But maybe that’s from being a professional in construction. Where people writ large are indecent, where instead people are measured by their actual actions. Am I supposed to feel sorry for Obama? He’s still a POS too, it makes no difference if he was well spoken. Possibly worse in my opinion. At least with Trump the veil has been lifted and we can all perhaps acknowledge the cultural disease of lying can start to be rooted out?
This current debacle is just icing on a cake thrown into a burning trash heap. A distraction from real substance. It makes no difference what crap Trump posts on his social but it does if one of my guys are deported. Trump is flooding the zone right now. Unlike his first admin, he is putting everyone else on their back foot this time around.
BINGO. WINNER. a polite warmongering world wide imperialist cunt is as bad, as the impolite one. blue and red uniparty warmongering masses keep voting for nonstop evil shit since 1898. democracy works. your construction pals ain’t better or worse from the C suite cunts in wall street, or the military cunts from pentagon down to the grifters who sign up for tours to kill poor folks around the globe………..
Turns out it was a staffer of Stephen Miller who put the racist post online. And it turns out his name is Donald Trump.
IS PERSIA THE NEXT INSTALLMENT AFTER PLANET OF THE APES, for the Trump distraction from the raping of young boys and girls, by the ruling class of nihilists in our war mongering, empire of nihilists?
Almost certainly
In Trump’s defense, he had no idea that so many white people weren’t racist. When all of your information comes from Fox News, how could you know? Let’s be fair here.
THERE are parishes and bars in brooklyn and queens and LI, with Donald Trumps. same goes for coast to coast Maine to HI
“Imagine traveling back to 2024 and telling MAGA supporters that Trump would be manically devoted to driving two GOP members out of Congress MTG and Thomas Massie. And that their 2 crimes were: 1) demanding release of the Epstein files and 2) opposing regime-change wars.”
MAGA isn’t about the Epstein files, nor opposing regime-change wars. MAGA is purely about fellating their Lord and Savior. They only cared about those things when the Lord cared about those things. Now that He doesn’t care, they don’t either. Such is he power of faith.
he ran jeff flake and mark sanford out of red team a decade ago.
“All our silences in the face of racist assault are acts of complicity.”
aye aye. as is, our silences, in the face of all the democratically elected…..world wide imperial warmongering. not only complicity, but advocacy if one votes uniparty blue or red. why not vote libertarian or green.
In a normal American family they would have taken away Grandpa’s keys by this point. But instead he’s president of the nation.
Trump voters deserve this and more. Too bad for the rest of us.
trust me i am not engaging in whataboutism, but as a libertarian and green voter, i believe the blue team could also have said the same thing about old sleepy genocide joe, and his flushing 350 billion of our money into ukraine. not to mention running shotgun for the IDF in famine and genocide slaughterhouse……..
Joe Biden was a stable genius compared to this gang, and amazingly does not appear to be a pedophile connected to Epstein.
Supporting Ukraine is money well spent. Like most Americans, I have great respect for Zelensky and the Ukrainians in their struggle against putinist Russia. Putins attempted land grab and war of terror against a civilian population is even worse than anything Trump has managed (yet )
And like most Americans, my opinions about Israel have sharply worsened since 2023, and I will support any Democratic candidates in the primaries who propose cutting off aid to that nation.
Trump said he didn’t post the monkey depiction
How do monkeys compare to Nazis in the scheme of things?
I wonder who has so much access that they can post on his account without confirmation or review?
No one. He did the post. Someone else probably took it down. For all we know, it could have been Musk trying to remove more evidence for the EU lawsuits.
Here it is. Hilarious Needle Dick.
https://www.artsy.net/artwork/indecline-naked-trump
I wish someone would re-post that Hilarious Depiction (Statue, NY??) of Trump naked with a needle dick. It was hilarious. I will go do a search and come back with it if I find it.
They did not STEP INTO A PROBLEM. They stepped into a STEAMING PILE OF SHIT, Trump himself! The man is corrupted, arrogant, Stupid, Idiotic, out of Control, lacking GOOD ideas…and has done nothing but do damage to our Country.
HE NEEDS TO GO!!!!!
They didn’t step in it, they saw it on the sidewalk, jumped for joy, grabbed it up and stuffed it in their mouth.
Now they’re running around telling everybody they can corner about how delicious, this sausage is with their shit breath.
just piggy things….
Just because someone is black does that exempt them from ridicule? Think about it ? If Obama was depicted naked with a pussy where is the outrage? The population has been conditioned by propaganda to give the Racist NAACP a pass on racism for years even though in back culture 75% don’t marry but have children for welfare. (43% white do the same)Their plight in life is blamed on slavery –Hell no it is their culture of today
its obvious that someone was monkeying around at some time
The White House staffer who posted this on Trump’s social media account has been fired. I would not be surprised if the staffer was a Democrat mole or agent provocateur.
Fuck off, we all know it wasn’t a staff member. This orange pos is so jealous of obama, Imagine a wife actually wanting to hold her husband’s hand, you can’t because the current is repulsed by her grotesque husband.
she is not a wife. she is a prop. hat tip epstein
She deserves a medal for servicing the orange one’s bedroom desires.
A woman with obviously few scruples, although more than her husband.
How’s the film going?
Anything to keep up the pretense I guess.
Wow, trying to blame this on the Dems after Leavitt and the WH defended posting it.
If you cope any harder, your head may explode!
Impressive. What color is your sky?
Bullshit. Go eat a rock.
This conduct is unbecoming of the office.
Even if one thinks it is “not racist”.
Unbecoming is an appropriate term for it. BUT, could you now go to an OVER-STATEMENT term, to make it have more impact.
The SCUMBAG DOES NOT, and NEVER HAD BELONGED IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING, including his years as a Contractor and Business Owner.
What a fucking idiot!
It’s unbecoming of a human being, but our president is a pig so I guess it’s appropriate.
Meanwhile, peoples like Canden Owens and many black will continue to support him unconditionnally,
She can’t publicly denounce him, as her entire business model is based on her being the token black person of the MAGA movement and serve as the the element of credible deniability of their rabid racism.
The moment she relinquishes that role, she is done for as an online influencer.
Meh. She can continue just fine. She’ll lose some supporters but gain others. I don’t follow her. But she seems more worthy of people’s time than many other pundits. (Be careful reading that. Notice it’s not a ringing endorsement.)
“One trick” to impeach a president…
It’s funny how Congress doesn’t stop the admin from any of its terrible decisions. But along comes this “own goal” that everyone can rally around.
If they do impeach and remove him successfully, this gives the “perfect” meme for them to remove him for unpopular policies without dwelling in government school history books about those policies.
I have to wonder whether this was done on purpose to remove him. I doubt it. But, if it was, it’s ingenious…
…and also a humanitarian gesture. After all, we know Trump shouldn’t be in the White House. He should be in a hospital for the aged and mentally ill, getting the care he needs, in a room with Biden.
BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER. it is a uniparty of warmongering, assholes. from bottom to top. the farmers to the wall street C suites……….the busboys to the billionaire tech douche bags……..
He can go back on Oprah’s show to explain himself.
Have the Obamas replied in kind? Some material to help them get started:
https://yandex.com/images/search?from=tabbar&text=Orangutan%20trump
I can readily believe that Trump has had no significant involvement in many of his Truthsocial posts, especially recently. Many of the posts articulate in ways that are similar but not identical to the way Trump articulates. Also it is easy to wonder how much AI skill trump has.
None of this absolves him. If he has outsourced his propaganda to JosephGoebbels/whoever that isn’t a defence.
-Oh and for the record. Despite the WOKE desire to be incredibly offended by ape images. I’m not sure they are actually worse than all the other fake content posted. If you are posting clear factual lies then that is despicable be it in text or in image.
*There is room in life for comedy and satire. But that is a fine line and Trump has never been close to the legitimate side of things.
Before I clicked Like on your comment it was 2 Likes and 4 Not Likes.
I click Like and now it shows 3 Likes and 5 Not Likes.
I agree as I would not doubt their are Democrat moles and agent provocateurs at the middle and lower levels of Trump’s White House staff.
Expect them engaging in sabotage like this to make Trump look bad, and for the sabotaging to “progressively” get worse.
Trump himself talked about watching it and posting it. Karoline Leavitt defended it.
Dems don’t have to have moles, these people are so tone-deaf they think it’s fine.
The #’s jump because this is a static page (that means it doesn’t automatically refresh) and we don’t vote one at a time. The counts update after your vote posts. It’s more efficient, not a conspiracy.
The problem with supporters like you is that you gladly accept any excuse for even his most egregious behavior. Meanwhile, socially the country regresses by decades, the economy burns, the debt explodes and our standing in the world sinks to unimaginable lows.
Wake up. Stop the excuses. This is not normal or remotely acceptable behaviour from our leader.
This is classic gaslighting, to blame the Dems for a colossal unforced error by Trump, that he won’t even admit is an error. That is a truly slavish devotion to Trump, and disgusting in every way.
OMG, THE AGENTS PROVOCATEUR ARE EVERYWHERE! He had to cancel a press conference right in the middle the other day because the Democrat shit his pants! THEY ARE LITERALLY IN HIS PANTS!
Distraction, whether it is deliberate or personal failing. All this does is give friendly republicans a chance to show how outraged they are while business as usual continues.
Ha Ha. Glad to see the nuclear button is in the hands of someone with judgment.
Kind of like coming to school only to discover the teacher joining in with the boys for spitball salvos.
I didn’t think it was that racist. Many political figures were portrayed as different jungle animals in a silly video. That said, everyone knows portraying blacks as monkeys is a racist stereotype and Trump should have known better. I think he personally posted it.
I agree. Poor taste and very immature. He could have been wiser how he portrayed the Obama’s whom I think are racist. Just a childish antic. What was the goal? To satisfy his narcissism? He needs to wake up. He’s going to get slaughtered in midterms.
The Stable Genius (ha!) needs to deal with our country’s problems.
> What was the goal?
Same as all his other antics, though some them even make sense (like putting Bob Kennedy on the track to cut off at least a few of the pharmaceutical mafia hydra’s heads): Generate maximum confusion and distract people now spending hours on the web commenting Mish’s commenter’s comments instead of realizing they are all attention hijacked so that they won’t notice one day near they have become Musk’ (or Gates or someone elses’) zombies following orders issued through their smartphone. No war necessary. You now belong to Satan. That’s where we are going.
I think Hakeem Jeffries was a meerkat in the video. Member of the mongoose family. That’s non-simian. Trump should probably argue that.
So you both don’t think it was racist, but also think everybody knows it was racist. Perfectly clear
Why is Donald Trumpstein always exposing his dark side? Most already know much that has been exposed already.
There’s one way it could get worse. Should we be grateful we haven’t yet seen pics of Trump’s schlong?
Nowadays, you can be a disgusting racist in the US, be US president, and that’s O.K. Because that’s what MAGA really means.
After the geezers over 40 die off, perhaps we will get decent humans in amerika. Past 5 generations since 1898 we have had nothing but voting for never ending warmongers.
NIIHILISM IS THE DISEASE. ALL YOU FOLKS WHO VOTE BLUE OR RED HAVE IT IN SPADES.
I’m guessing that you looked up nihilism in the dictionary last night, since you use it in every post. Is your IQ in double digits yet?
The reason why people call the ‘chimp’ scenes racist is because they either implicitly or otherwise accept the premises therein.
There are lots of videos of Trump, and other politicians and others as all kinds of animals. Some of them are quite amusing, and even well done.
But selective outrage is always indicated of selective morality.
Having seen some of these videos, they’re actually funny, if tasteless as most political videos are. AI is amazing. The ‘outrage’ though, is just telling.
Don’t you there is line that maybe should not be crossed?
Don’t you think that a sitting president should have more decorum than that?
How do think he should now deal with leaders of other countries that are people of color and him being an obvious racist (which compared to what else he is might be one of his better traits).
Wrong on so many levels. His 3d chess game has devolved into childish grade 2
name calling. The reality that is really all he is capable of.
No. Not really.
Remember, our 2 national symbols for the political parties of Republican and Democrat are an elephant and a donkey.
Neither is taken in its positive connotation for either, be in a lumbering pachyderm that eats 400 pounds a day or an obstinate jackass that brays instead of speaking.
What IS disturbing to me however that I have seen and heard more ‘liberals’ condemn that video more fiercely than they ever have the rampant Anti-White racism that goes on every day.
Silence on THAT.
From the same politicians.
Nope, I’ll skip any worry about the ‘outrage’ or ‘racism’.
White’s have no fear of anti-white racism as they are the protected majority. However any statement about the group is stupid, humans have to be taken one at a time.
How about I make an AI video of your grandma having sex with farm animals, would that be OK?
My Grandma has had her community, her very sense of home destroyed.
In reality. Is that okay??
Are you saying a black family moved into her neighborhood?
Agreed. It should have been the Clintons portrayed as monkeys. Then it would not have been racist.
JD VANCE, VICE PEDOTUS OF THE MOST EVIL EMPIRE ON PLANET 2026, boooooed mercilessly at olympics…… DEMOCRACY SURE DOES WORK PERFECTLY. I THINK I SEE EPSTEIN IN THE BOX SEAT BEHIND USHA
Never in my living memory has a Republican been elected with so many votes by blacks and Hispanics. Never in my living memory I expect them to forget this video and the Brownshirts.
I am sure our Simian and Feline friends are equally appalled. The whole Animal Kingdom for that matter. Could this be classified as a form of Antisimiantism.
So, was the staffer fired?
No. That lie has already been abandoned. Trump admitted he re-posted the video. He just claims he never saw the “lion king” part. I’m sure there will be a few more excuses yet to come, as needed.
trump does NOT lie. our nihilist twats in this empire who keep voting for assholes like trump and biden all know this…………….long live pax dumbfuckistan. love to see it crumble like all the other evil empires before her. nihilism. it’s when men don’t give a fuck about much besides their own little world of me my and money. hat tip ancient greek philosophers……
Idiot, he lies all the time. Every time he opens his mouth or posts…..1000%^ reduction in prescription drug prices…..moron or liar…..there are no other other altenatives.
Alternatives could be he is so stupid or mentally ill that he doesn’t realize he is lying. This is no excuse for all that has happened at the hand of trump. That he should be prosecuted, tried and found guilty are what true justice demands.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is no bottom for this president. Losing Tim Scott over this latest move says it all.
that little gay fuck will come crawling back. i’d bet anything with oddds.
It just keeps getting worse. The Glenn Greenwald tweet was spot-on. He wants a 50% increase in “defense” spending. The Big Boondoogle Bill was crazy. He’s crazy. We’re still waiting to find out if there’ll be war with Iran – for no reason whatsoever. Make it stop. And fuck JD Vance. He’s the one guy Trump can’t fire. He needs to part ways with Trump.
you ought not drop acid dude. the delusions are profound.
you are not adding anything to this.
You gotta admit this was as a minimum bad judgement on Trumps part (and for most people way worse than that). Who purposely offends a good portion of his voters.
The only thing I can think of is that he either thinks doesn’t need votes to get “reelected” cause he is just going to declare himself dictator for life or he wants to screw the Republican Party by making everyone in it unelectable by association.
What is really going to be interesting is when the republicans start the process of selecting their next presidential candidate and Trump can’t be it.
Trump will not be able control himself, his X account will literally blow up.
FUCK OFF. trump is a nihilist. he doesn’t give a fuck. amerikkkans have been a nihilist empire for a long long time old sport.
blocked for being a pussy.
With this remark, did you intend to reply to someone other than Sentient?
If you stand by this jab at Sentient, please explain it so “slow” people like me understand…
50% more for war, while the 2032 25% cut to Social Security still looms.
Alay Grayson once introduced The War Is Making You Poor Act. They gerrymandered him out of office a couple years later. But one of my biggest wishes is for everyone to make “peace” their #1 priority.
Compare China’s infrastructure to America’s, compare China’s defense spending to America’s. It’s obvious, America spends on the ability to kill people China’s recent history is to spend to help people. That it is for China’s long term profit/power doesn’t change the facts.
What is the endgame for Trump’s assault on decency, the law, the truth and America? Trump is damaging our country; he’s damaging our trade, he’s damaging the respect we once had in the world as the leader of democracy and freedom; he’s damaging America’s reputation for fairness and the rule of law; he’s damaging our medical research which was the envy of the world; He’s damaging our best universities, shaking them down; He’s shaking down billionaires, princes, major corporations, CEOs and launching lawsuits against respected news organizations. He’s running a protection and extortion racket out of the White House. Trump is using presidential power to enrich himself and the entire world is watching. How does any of this make America great? Quite the contrary, Trump is making America worse; he’s making America the laughing stock of the world, but I’m sure Vladimir Putin is very happy with Donald Trump at the helm, because Trump is destroying NATO, our alliances with Canada, Britain, France and Germany. If Trump doesn’t work for Putin, he looks as if he does…as he delivers a wrecking ball to our country.
Sorry, but that damage was done decades ago. Agent Orange is just the cherry on the cake.
bingo. this crowd on mish site are really mostly very naive. smart. cunning. but mostly naive
We can thank the government school history books and government-media complex.
That damage was done Years ago? You had better wake up because things are way worse now than decades ago and likely not going to get better while Trump is in office.
“likely not going to get better while Trump and Republicans are in office.”
Fixed it for you.
Decades ago, the US still had a draft and 58,000 Americans lost their lives in the Vietnam war.
trump doing the world a favor. crashing the evil empire and putting it in dustbin of history of evil empires before her.
I understand that you hate America and America by now, bmcc. A lot of us here love this country.
One thing that really stand out to me, is that, since the release of Epstein files (not all of them and redacted) that in other countries privileged elites are getting punished – and here in the US we don’t even get the frustrating “thoughts and prayers” – JUST NADA.
NIHILISM IS DEEP AND WIDE IN AMERIKA. 98 PERCENT of voters here.
And the Republicans position themselves as the party of family values.
They are the party of family values your wife is worth a little your young son a little more and your under-aged daughter now that one is worth bidding on.
Taco always blames others for his increasing number of daily mistakes. He is getting to the point of no return.
The ‘racist’ moniker doesn’t mean much of anything.
But if he is a pedophile/racist, he needs to go as do all the others.
But not outside the rule of law. Of course. Right?
