Trump shares racist video depicting Obamas as apes on Truth Social, then removes it amid bipartisan outrage
The latest story on President Donald Trump is that he has been shamed enough to remove a racist post he had put on attacking former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama.
Trump big headache is that Barack Obama the first African American president is way smarter that he can ever imagine to be himself. Nobody can help President Trump with that problem, so the old goof went there doing his Ku Klux Klan (KKK) moves on the Obama family and then got too embarrassed to keep his racist mojo on and pulled it out.
The big media story in the US today is that President Donald Trump shared a racist video on his social media platform Thursday night that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle, then removed it hours later amid bipartisan outrage, including from close allies.
Just before noon, the White House blamed a staffer for the video posted to Trump’s Truth Social account and said the post had been removed. The statement came after serious backlash, including from GOP Sen. Tim Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, who called the post racist and said Trump should remove it.
It took the response from the only black republican senator Tim Scott to let Donald Trump know black folks in America are actually human beings and not monkeys. That is a hard call on him. Thank you, Mr. President, for getting that at least.
“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it,” the South Carolina Republican, who’s also the chair of the Senate GOP campaign committee, wrote on X.
And it sent the White House into major damage control mode, sources said, with officials, advisers and allies reaching out to lawmakers and the media to try to dispute that Trump himself played any role. One White House adviser asserted that, “The president was not aware of that video, and was very let down by the staffer who put it out.” Another ally sought to place blame on a specific aide.
The post, which recalls the racist trope of comparing Black people with monkeys, prompted swift backlash, including from several Republican lawmakers who have had close relationships with the White House.
Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, who is considered one of the most vulnerable Republicans in Congress, condemned the Truth Social post and called on Trump to apologize.
“The President’s post is wrong and incredibly offensive — whether intentional or a mistake — and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered,” Lawler wrote on X.
Another New York Republican facing a tough reelection battle, Rep. Nick LaLota, also urged Trump to delete the post.
And in the minutes before its removal, two close White House allies in the Senate — Pete Ricketts of Nebraska and Roger Wicker of Mississippi — went public with their own calls for Trump to apologize, in a sign that criticism within the party was beginning to snowball.
But the post’s deletion marked an abrupt shift from just hours earlier, when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had dismissed the initial outcry.
That original video depicted several prominent Democrats as various animals, as well as showing the Obamas as apes.
The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the video in a post on X, writing: “Disgusting behavior by the President. Every single Republican must denounce this. Now.”
The problem for Americans with President Trump including the media types like CNN is that everybody is hoping that the President falls off from his chair and goes to a senior nursing home somewhere in Florida and buries himself there for the country to move on. That is not going to happen. President Trump wants to sleep on the job with joy as America watches with sadness. Good luck my friends.
Trump can fall asleep in meetings, piss on himself or faint somewhere in the White House but he is not walking out from the White House as the president of the US. In fact, forget the three-year nightmare America has to live with Donald Trump as their president.
The man would like to have a third term in 2028 and be US president till 2032 God willing. How great is that going to be for the United States of America. I know some people are laughing but this is not a joke. Trust me. I know it is about Trump who is the definition of a joke.
There was a time the US media could take on bad leaders like President Donald Trump, not anymore. Even the CNN which is supposed to be Americas big free media are in Trump’s pockets and all they do now is whine here and there but for the most important part they are just saying let’s go on with Trump and get a few news clips here or there.
The big boy has taken over the USA and for God’s sake maybe the rest of the world need to help them deal with that deranged monster who is their president today. We are coming fast and furious. Trump is a nightmare to the whole world, not just the USA.
The real problem is that there is nothing the USA including their often-noisy media can do about it. Finally, America has their own Idi Amin Dada. It looks great on them. Keep it going Donald. America needs you now more than ever before.
At some point the American media and politicians are worried about the amount of red paint President Trump has on his face and his head and now his hands are also painted and it scares Americans and nobody knows how much paint Trump is putting on his ass.
Now they are worried he may just drop dead from whatever diseases he has. Despite all that President Trump is bullying the Americans and the whole world and they all have to live with that.
Here is Donald Trump hero.

Here is how Idi Amin operated with world leaders and this is what Donald Trump wants today. What is wrong with that?
