President Donald Trump’s racist social media post featuring former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle was deleted after a backlash from both Republicans and Democrats who criticized the video as offensive.
The Republican president’s Thursday night post was deleted Friday and blamed on a staffer after widespread backlash, from civil rights leaders to veteran Republican senators, for its treatment of the nation’s first Black president and first lady. The deletion, a rare admission of a misstep by the White House, came hours after press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed “fake outrage” over the post. After calls for its removal for being racist – including by Republicans – the White House said a staffer had posted the video erroneously and it had been taken down.
Shrug. It was not Obama’s decision to make - nor was it Donvict’s, LOL. And Obama was not making obvious thirsty appeals for one, either.
And he’s so obviously bothered by Obama having one and him not. He’s bothered so very much that he accepted someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize as a participation trophy. That’s how sad and pathetic and jealous of Obama he is.
