Donald Trump video portraying Obama’s as apes

I think Lion King makes it worse

1. there are no Apes in Lion King (the rest of the clip does have some lion king characters)

2. you still chose in a meme about everyone else and using apes given the connotations with racist is just utterly utterly ridiculous they were still making a point

it is gaslighting at it highest

I think in fairness whilst 20-25% of Americans are behind him I think there are quite a few Republicans and floating voters who voted for the economic side and never thought it could get this bad

he clearly has to me some form of dementia and doesn’t have a team around him like Mike Pence

but they are also tapping into the US fear of communism/socialism that has existed since the end of the second world war

The democrats as well need to take responsibility moving to the left as far as they have in a country petrified by communism was a bad move and a course they haven’t corrected - they need to move much more to the centre for eh future of the US

Where are the MN posters that defend Trump? One who springs to mind is ringo juice.

First, they tried to make out that he was just posting an extract from a doctored Jungle Book extract glorifying him as King of the Jungle. Then, when they worked out that no-one was buying that bollocks, they withdrew it and claimed that the post had been put up by mistake by a staffer. Because of course when a staffer makes a horrendous error that shows up the President as a repulsive racist, you naturally leave the post in place and depute your sidekicks to defend it and claim that everyone condemning it was a humourless snowflake ...

And there is also the little problem that Trump has said that only he and one other trusted person has access to his Truth Social account.

He was taken to court for not renting to any africanAmericans back in the 70s. And let's not forget his disgusting full page adverts in newspapers calling for the Central Park Five to die. They were exonerated after another man admitted his guilt.

They were imprisoned for between five and 13 years - but their convictions were ultimately overturned in 2002 after a serial violent offender named Matias Reyes confessed to the attack and DNA linked him to the crime.

He is racist through and through.

Totally agree.

Sadly, with the rising popularity of Reform, it seems to be getting more common, or maybe just more overt.

Every day another horror from The Shite House.
Wonder how his explainer minions will spin this?

Surely the time has come for US media to unite in proclaiming very loudly that leaving Trump in post is in itself grossly disrespectful to the office of president.

I really, really hope that Dominion has issued defamation proceedings against Trump. Given the fact that the claims of election fraud have been so comprehensively debunked, surely that's got to be worth a few billion in damages?

Of course nothing will happen, his supporters will cheer him LOUDER, he's a child rapist and they are cheering for him. The world is fucked.

They'll be sucking up to Trump in the White House as usual in March, although they're not alone in that. Leaders from countries big and small need to laugh at him for being such a pathetic fucking moron, but they won't.

He'll post anything that distracts attention from him raping children and personally profitting from the presidency.

As he says himself, his MAGA supporters are too thick to care.

i absolutely agree we all need to challenge him and world wide that is recognised. However, if a country does challenge him there will be major tariffs placed against them. So they can’t. If Zelenskyy doesn’t kowtow then he is attacked and his country is in more danger. I mean we all know this. He’s a bully on a global scale. And well. What can be done. Putin, trump, Epstein. Big connections.

A real and successful pot shot is needed. Sorry I am stooping so low by saying that, but I've reached the end of my tether now.

And I know, I know.... look who will be in his place. But I'll take that chance TBH.

He is utterly disgusting and immoral.

I mean it is who most Yanks thought best represented them.

Sadly this is true. No one has forced voters to the polls to vote for him. I thought the voters would have been outraged when white Americans was being shot on the street ( on the premise they can turn their backs on young black me being shot as "it wouldn't hapen to me / my son" as we are not black).

The reality is that he has a big fan base. And they love him. They love this. This is what they want. The majority of Americans voted for this. He didn't just wonder into office by his own choice. If we can't respect or understand it, we at least need to accept that Americans voted for it. That is what frys my head the most.

Most of the world is also looking at us like are Batshit crazy too.

Just in case anyone believes Leavitt when she implied that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.

I think and hope that world leaders are waling up to the fact that Trump is not going to be more controllable if they lick his backside as they have done so far. He's just a nasty creep with half a brain and a lot of money he did not earn.

I just had to Google it... Holy fuck.

It also genuinely helps us in the US when other world leaders speak up. Part of Trump's platform, which his followers have continued to parrot, is that with his presidency, we have unprecedented respect from other global leaders. Those of us mired in reality know that the exact opposite is true, but it definitely helps when other countries' leaders condemn him publicly.

‘Our government aren’t exactly brilliant’

I may not think our PM should waste time talking about Trump’s socials, mainly because that’s what he wants from this stuff, but this isn’t ok. In what world has anyone in the Cabinet or Shadow Cabinet said or written anything as grossly racist and inflammatory as this?

What a very odd thing for somebody with your user name to say. I don't believe that either Sam Vimes or his creator would believe that horrific behavior by another human being is ever "nothing to do with us."

Why are you surprised?

not our politics? Tell the to reform and the members of that party. They idolize this piece of shit
