Donald Trump video portraying Obama’s as apes

The sooner countries disentangle themselves from the US the better.

It’s utterly despicable but won’t even make headline news…it’s gone so far now and nothing happens. He seems to be untouchable

Trump isn’t interested in what Americans think, let alone us.

Our government aren’t exactly brilliant. 🤷‍♀️

Well done! I've written to my MP today but it's on a different matter.

She has said that it is a video depicting Trump as the King of the Jungle and democrats as characters from the Lion King. So that's alright then 🤬
Trump needs to be depicted as a baboon's arse

He's desperately trying to distract everyone from the Epstein files, where he appears to an extraordinary extent. The media really should be focussing hard on this.

This “man” is adored by Farage and espouses the same morality and politics as Reform. As we’ve seen from the Epstein files, it’s all part of the same strategy to give billionaires yet more power and wealth. This is relevant for the UK, we should not be putting Reform people anywhere near power.

What does she mean 'lion king'? I wrote to my TDs (Irish MPs) asking for a comment to be made and also that they don't go to the white house for Paddy's. I know it won't make a difference but feel like I have to do something.

And just to add... his Press Secretary Bullshit Barbie AKA Karoline Leavitt - you can fuck right off with your excuses about it. She said it's just from the Lion King and no one is interested and it's fake outrage.

America - can you sink any lower.
For the 90 million who did not vote, get your arses into gear for the midterms.
(90 million is more than actually voted for the piece of shit called Trump)

Yes, the Epstein files are getting closer. He will try and do anything to distract.

Obviously a distraction from Epstein . However , aside from this, one of the most concerning things about this whole issue is the fact that no one is surprised that the President of The USA is a loud and proud racist
. Furthermore , we all know that he is unlikely to be brought to book for his actions.
We have all become immune to his heinous behaviour .. Terrifying

The US political system has a fair number of checks and balances to curb this kind of blatant power grab but they all depend on other branches of the government - congress, the senate and/or the judiciary - to exercise the powers that they hold. MAGA has taken over congress and the senate and allowed the supreme court to be stuffed with lackies. The real test will be the mid-terms later this year but Trump's already making noises about how he'll only pay attention to the results if they're the right results plus there are relentless attacks on access to voting that are predominantly affecting Democrat voters. It's scary to watch.

You don't stop racism by refusing to challenge it. And challenging racism is not virtue signalling.

Trump cannot be ignored. He's the President with a huge platform. And the people who will never ignore him are the racists who eagerly latch onto this as an invitation to be ever more bold and overt with their own racism. If we all look in the other direction, they get stronger.

It's much easier to turn your face away and call people who do stand up to it virtue signallers, but that isn't doing anything to stop the spread of open and gleeful racism. In order to have any hope of challenging that, we do actually have to pay attention and expect our politicians to say something about it.

What is going on ? Where is the outcry? All world leaders need to call him out! Sickening. What can we do ? Listening to LBC earlier and they were talking about it but it needs to be called out everywhere and he needs to go. Surely the US government have some standards and they can remove him...

Yup. Farage et al have learned an awful lot from Trump, Bannon and the rest of them. Not least just how easy it is to use jingoism, fear and relentless lies to garner support and make them rich.

What does this asshole have to do before somebody somewhere shouts Stop Enough Already ??? Can you imagine if any other world leader did this . The sad thing is that Trump obviously means it . I fear for this world

People may rightly despair at Labour and the Tories, but Farage’s lot would be on another level of awful.

You can be angry (and should be) about more than one thing at once. We need to speak up because ignoring an unwanted behaviour will never change it - it just gives the impression of apathy, or complicity.

And let’s always remember how Mr Farage views Trump.

Just several months ago he said:
“I have drawn amazing inspiration from the MAGA movement in this country. I’ve travelled the length and breadth of America. I’m the only figure from the other side of the Parliament that has consistently stood behind Trump, and stood behind the MAGA movement. I have never wavered in my thoughts or my views for one minute, even when it was an unpopular thing to do."

Trump America is repulsive, but he is still primarily (at least for now) an American problem for the American people to suffer. If we’re not careful we will get one of our very own before too long.

Yes he's disgraceful. He's cut from the same cloth as Nigel who was making hissing gas chamber noises at younger Jewish boys and bullying them in his late teens. I'm not far off in age from him and that was never anything other than despicable.

Fucking hell. Just get assassinated already.

You're not a minority of one. I agree. If we actually want racism to stop and are not just virtue signalling, then doing nothing is the correct thing to do.
Publicising this shite emboldens others to do the same. For Trump all publicity is good publicity. It is exactly what he needs to thrive. We need to completely blank the racist old git.

Trump is a racist and horrible person. He and his team post inflammatory videos to distract the news cycle from real issues.

I refuse to get angry about his inflammatory behavior anymore because that is what he wants. He wants me to get angry about a video so I don’t focus on the attack on American democracy.

He is trying to become a dictator and right now strategies like this are helping him.

Where this was heading should have been obvious when his mate got up on stage and saluted at his inauguration but people made excuses for it, just like they will make excuses for this.

Absolutely this.
It is up to everyone to call this shit out.
He might as well appear in a white robe with a pointy hood.
He debases the position he holds every single day.
I didn't think it could get any worse,then it just did.
If the highest office in the free world puts out this overt racism and gets away with it then what hope do we have.

@Isabella777 I think most non Americans understand this frustration. Even when people win a vote, unless it's a landslide there are still almost half the population that disagree and have to live with the consequences. Any reasonable person would feel sorry for those citizens who feel powerless and have to suck it up.
