To be shocked Trump reposted an AI video today showing the Obamas as monkeys?

It's as if, since the second term, he's going out of his way to show the cultish MAGA elements of his voting base will support him no matter what. We had the video where he dropped poo on the protestors, then the disgusting mocking of Rob Reiner's death, then the denial of UK troops' heroism in Afghanistan..

And now this.

Aren't even his diehard fans a bit embarrassed at his lack of decency and dignity? Unless they buy his excuse that a staffer posted it, which would still raise a lot of questions even if it were true (unlikely...)

Can’t think you’d get many disagreeing with you.

Overtheatlantic · 06/02/2026 19:27

I don’t know what to think anymore. It’s heartbreaking that this piece of garbage is in the White House. He’s obsessed with Obama, who actually won his Nobel Peace Prize and won’t be found in the Epstein files. But this will cycle through the news just like everything else horrific that he’s done.

Teanbiscuits33 · 06/02/2026 19:28

It is absolutely disgraceful, but it’s Trump. He’s one of the worst examples of humanity there ever was and it was always well known he was a racist. Nothing he does surprises me anymore.

It’s a travesty the piece of shit was ever allowed to be president. I can’t wait for him to die.

MidWayThruJanuary · 06/02/2026 19:28

It’s been removed now

DoloresDelEriba · 06/02/2026 19:29

He is such a disgusting human being. I despair.

Lllma · 06/02/2026 19:29

I would like to say I’m shocked but sadly nothing he does surprises me anymore. It’s disgusting

TheDandyLion · 06/02/2026 19:31

Disgusted yes, shocked? not anymore.

Linzi2377 · 06/02/2026 19:31

I see bidens there as an ape too ..its racist to think black people are monkeys

I didn’t see Biden?

MidWayThruJanuary · 06/02/2026 19:34

Yes he was there - eating a banana

Yes..and kamala as a turtle

Oneforallandallforone · 06/02/2026 19:35

YABU at being shocked at anything that piece of shit would do.

somanychristmaslights · 06/02/2026 19:40

If it was Kier Starmer, there would be so much pressure for him to go and I believe it would happen. Never seems to happen in America. Yes demcratss are outraged, but trump will only go when his term finishes or he dies.

Ionlymakejokestodistractmyself · 06/02/2026 19:42

I'm not shocked that a vile scumbag like him has done something vile and scumbaggy

What I'm shocked at is how he can seemingly do whatever he likes with impunity. Wait till the next election to see how far it can go...

LoisGriffinskitchen · 06/02/2026 19:42

A WH staffer posted it allegedly (yeah right) from Trump’s Truth Media account. Not Trump …oh no. 🙄

Callurmom · 06/02/2026 19:43

Epstein said Trump was the evilest person her knew. What did Trump do?

FeeLipa · 06/02/2026 19:44

By next week it'll be forgotten about and there'll be another ICE murder/insults to other world leader/ tantrum.

It's horrifying to watch it all unfold. How had it gone so wrong with no-one able to stop it?!

Lavender14 · 06/02/2026 19:50

I don't think anything he does shocks me as such anymore I think he's a despicable human being. But the bit that does shock me is the complacency at best and acceptance at worst of so many Americans.

They voted him in TWICE. They love him.
I listen to some American radio shows (on Alexa) and tfhere was far more support for him and for ICE than normal humane people would expect.

I wish the rest of the world would just cut him off. All journalists and tv/radio stations should just refuse to cover anything he does. He'd hate that, would be like depriving him of oxygen.

Solitario · 06/02/2026 20:02

Shocked? No. This is the man whose best dating advice is "grab 'em by the p*ssy". It is no surprise that his racism is as overt and gross as his misogyny.

Trump is one of the main reasons I'm glad not to live in the USA and I pity the decent Americans who didn't vote for him having him as President (twice). The problem for the rest of us though is his negative influence on the world stage.

dairydebris · 06/02/2026 20:03

I just feel really sad for America.

HoppityBun · 06/02/2026 20:06

Surely T doesn’t have the ability to create images like this? It’s done for him. He is not, unfortunately, an aberration. His mentality is a many headed Hydra. Cut him out and there will be many more to take his place and to vote that type into office

SooooAIBU · 06/02/2026 20:08

I’m not shocked by anything that orange, despicable human being does.

Whatafustercluck · 06/02/2026 20:10

I went for yabu, but only because you're shocked by it. He's constantly screamed who he is from the rooftops, so nothing he does shocks or surprises me any more. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. And still people would vote for him 🙄

If it has been Keir starmer, this thread would be full by now.
