I'd bet there's some "the president is exercising his freedom of speech" as well.
vile, disgusting, pathetic, inexcusable. So, par for the course for this administration.

This morning Tim Scott said he prays the video Trump posted under his own media platform is fake….

Pretty much...
Quote:
In a statement sent to the Guardian, Karoline Leavitt, linked to a post on X last October by a separate rightwing account, which features a 55-second video from which the Obama clip appears to have been taken. It begins with the Obamas depicted as apes, later shows Biden’s head superimposed on a monkey body and other prominent Democrats depicted as other animals, while Trump is shown as a male lion.
“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” Leavitt said.

I'm sure there was no media push back to Leavitt's statement either.

Unbelievable. What a vile human on every level, even Epstein said Trump had no redeeming qualities. |
I don't understand how a president can get away with this. It's not right.

It's deleted now and a staffer has been thrown under the bus for "erroneously" posting it.

If it’s a staffer then it’s a staffer close enough to Trump that he or she is allowed access to Trump’s personal account and trusted enough to message Trump’s views. If Trump was truly against it then there should be a firing. I doubt there will be. Regardless, it’s never Trump’s fault. Nice little distraction though.

Likewise, if it was an error by a staffer, why was Leavitt initially defending it?

Come on guys, it wasn't a staffer. It's only going to continue to get worse.

Oh no it was definitely a staffer. Reeks of Temu Goebells.

It was probably a staffer who posted it because it praises Trump and makes fun of Obama. They might not have known the significance of the Obamas being portrayed as apes. Or maybe they did. Either way it's indicative of how stupid this administration is, but it's not worth more than two seconds of thought because we need to focus on the real crimes they're committing.

Uh huh, right. And Trump also got shot in the ear.
He tweeted it, he's a racist pedo.

I'm all for calling out Trump for his racism but if you're not going to use reasoned arguments to do so you're not helping anyone but his supporters.

I don't think it's reasonable to suggest someone with the ability to at least get to a spot where they a staffer for the POTUS (even this one) may not understand the explicit racism to compare the only two black occupants of the Whitehouse as monkeys. It's one of those things you understand by just living in the world for more than 15 years. Even (actually especially) if that world is an under-educated mess of a place.
But I do agree, it's a distraction from the real stuff. They'll answer Obama-monkey questions all day if it replaces Epstein questions.

Trump's brain is basically mush at this point. Stephen Miller posting it seems more likely to me.
