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...)

I just feel really sad for America.

Only feel sorry for those being assaulted by ICE.
America voted him in twice.
They think he's great.
They really don't believe he's doing much wrong..

GreyfriarsJobbies · 06/02/2026 20:16

As others have said 'shocked' suggests an element of surprise. He's always been a horrible racist scumbag and now he's losing his marbles too, so unfortunately this sort of thing will be par for the course until either the men in grey suits, the men in white coats, or the skinny chap in the black cloak come for him. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 06/02/2026 20:20

Am I...

Shocked he posted it? ❌
Shocked he's blaming someone else? ❌
Shocked he won't apologize? ❌
Shocked that he is a blatant racist? ❌

Guess I must be pretty unshockable after all.

He was voted in by a minority
The majority hate him

I'm more shocked that 15% of MN users disagree with you.

MagentaRocks · 06/02/2026 20:28

I think YABU to be shocked. Nothing that man does surprises me any more. The sooner he is gone the better.

It is more that she is being unreasonable to be shocked not that he hasn’t done anything wrong

In 2024 he won the national popular vote - 49..9% v Harris 48.3%.

The majority wanted him.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 06/02/2026 20:37

I am so angry- surely surely there is some way to remove this racist, sexiest felon from the most powerful position….!

WhamBamThankU · 06/02/2026 20:50

Epstein called him the most evil man he’d ever met or something to that effect, so I have no time for the man or his opinions.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 06/02/2026 20:51

Yabu to be shocked 😂, this is his bread and butter

‘he probably ran it past mentally ill Kanye and decided it was fine

Simonjt · 06/02/2026 20:52

A racist being racist doesn’t shock me.

Even Epstein thought Trump was scum.

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.

We do not love him. We hate him. Many of us have celebrations ready for when he finally is … no longer in this life to plague us.
the election was tampered with by Musk- trump said that himself.
have you seen the streets full of protestors? Those things are true.
Fox News won’t show you the truth.

no, not surprised he’s done this horribly racist thing, and not surprised by the Epstein files either, which yes, some uneducated cult members in my country are still trying to deny.

not surprised because those of us who listen to women knew a decade ago that this man is worse than vile. He’s evil, and he’s got no morals or dignity, and he has no brain, not one thing to recommend him- he’s the absolute worst specimen of the human race.

we are NOT in support of ice either. In overwhelming numbers. Even though it’s a risk to their lives, people have taken to the streets in protest. Some of us have been calling our representatives every single day.

some of what you see on social media are bots. There are bots created to make people feel isolated, to make them feel like the voices are for that creep and his party- but increasingly, others are calling out the bots every time they see them.

we are over here fighting, and people are dying, and innocent people have been victimized by this evil. Make no mistake- Americans did not choose this, and do not choose this, and it will end somehow. It’s taking far too long- but it will end.

BlueJuniper94 · 06/02/2026 21:01

It's disgraceful

I'd like to believe he wouldn't win vote again tomorrow as he's at an all time low right now but depending on who he opponent was, he very well might. It wouldn't surprise the rest of us if he was voted in again (thankfully it isn't an option unless he decides not to go).

Raspberrymoon49 · 06/02/2026 21:09

Nothing from him shocks or surprises me, he’s a cunt

Nimblethimble · 06/02/2026 21:11

But if we are talking about this then we are not talking about Epstein.

And that is the point of it.

AppropriateAdult · 06/02/2026 21:16

You are completely unreasonable to be shocked or surprised at this, yes.

I mean, have we all forgotten him mocking a disabled reporter at a rally in 2015? A career-ending move in any other country. And yet twice since then, millions and millions of American adults looked at him and said “Yep, that’s who I want to lead my country.”

Very little is shocking any more.

Nimblethimble · 06/02/2026 21:11

I don't believe he cares one jot what is written about his association with Epstein. He will shout 'fake news', insult reporters, remove protesters and his followers will believe him.

He's a study on the rise of evil.
He's only going to get more dangerous as he'll want to leave his mark on the country and world before he goes.

The media need to starve him out.

36% of Americans couldn't even be arsed to vote though.

It means he is trying to distract from something bigger….

The Epstien files I suspect

CanalLetty · 06/02/2026 21:26

A really telling thing about this episode is the way the White House staff handled this.

Firstly Karoline Leavitt the Press Secretary said 'Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.'

Then it was 'a staffer'.

Now it's been taken down.

This is their method of operation is -

  • Do something really shit
  • When criticisised they tell people to not be so sensitive and make the reaction seem trivial
  • Then they blame a little guy
  • then they remove the evidence.

They did this with ICE.
They did/are doing it with Epstein.

It's like the world is the victim of an abusive relationship with Trump and the White House. How have so many Americans been groomed to accept this?

LemonyCurd · 06/02/2026 21:27

America is thriving compared to under Biden. I think Trump is doing an amazing job.
