Trump posts video of Obamas as apes

[Delldude]

You elected Trump after he was impeached twice and convicted of multiple felonies

That's exactly why a majority of Indies, Dems and Repo's reelected Him.
They were tired of the lawfare.

A jury of their peers heard her claim of what happened and heard Trumps claim
For some reason, they didn’t believe Trump

“Grab em by the *****” doesn’t help

Were any Democrats on the jury?

Contrary to what my Republican friends in here may think, I will start by saying, that President Trump should have known better than to post that...There is plenty to berate the Obama's, and the democrats over these days, than posting that type of garbage on open forum as the POTUS...

Sorry if I ruffle feathers on this, but that's just how I view it...So many more important things happening right now, and to have this type of thing as a distraction is just not necessary...

I agree with you. I said it was in poor taste.

That said the left is blowing it up more than what it is

You are late to the party

I think this goes well with the video he posted of him shitting all over Americans and laughing.

Trump slammed after sharing 'disgusting' video of Michelle and Barack Obama as apes

This is a President of the United States of America doing this, and his flock loves it.

Is this America, then? Evidently.

It's a GREAT entertaining video. The video includes Biden as a monkey, that racist too?

 

[TimFitz]

My question is, who created the video in the first place?

It was posted months ago by a Republican in Kentucky, who did catch hell about it.
You would think anyone in America, would have the ******* brains to know this wasn't a good idea.

Yeah, I get the idea behind it, Trump is shown as the king of the jungle, and all other animals are lesser beings. In this case Dimocrats.
But who in their right mind would CHOOSE to depict the black couple as 'apes'?
Think this will gain you new supporters? Think it will help the country focus on your agenda, and gain new voters in November?

This was either posted by the ******* stupidest person on the face of the earth, or they agree with it, and don't care what the rest of the country thinks.

I want to win elections, and have the #'s to push our agenda through. Apparently those that posted this, are incapable of seeing the big picture, or even a little one.

So, to the utter buffoons that posted it, thanks a lot. Thanks for creating another ******* controversial blunder, that will once again force our side to scramble, and hope it fades in a few days.

This won't be forgotten, and we'll just have to hope it doesn't cost us a large # of Independents, who will not want to have anything to do with this. This is a gift to Dimocrats, maybe a huge one. I hope not.

Trump ran on race baiting, and he goes back to it more or less constantly.
He knows that this is the core value of many of his most ardent supporters.

Which is why does it regularly, including this time.

This is the face the President of the United States shows the world.

Yeah, so sorry I work for a living, and only have limited time....

 

[DigitalDrifter]

George Bush chimp memes were everywhere years ago and now people call them racist…
Is it actually about race or is it just political mockery that aged badly?

Here's the problem with that comparison.
Yes, the left indeed did engage in similar fashion, but there isn't the same long history of comparing black people with apes.

Because of this long history, when it rears it's head, it becomes a much bigger issue, as it triggers millions of people across the country. When that happens it becomes a much bigger problem for the offenders, in this case Trump and Republicans.

I don't think it is a huge problem...The post has been removed, and the WH has provided that it was a re tweet, and not something the President himself came up with...

So, IMHO, Trump should post a simple apology for anyone that felt insulted by the imagery, and move on.

 

[dblack]

Why should we when you Democrats don't?

Uhh.. I dunno. Maybe because you want your party to be better?

Or not.

 

[Mac-7]

Yeah, so sorry I work for a living, and only have limited time....

No problem

Do you agree that it was not racist but merely insulting to the obamas?

 

[Winston]

Oh please!!
The impeachments were a Dimocrat lynching. This is the way it's going to be going forward.

Same with the convictions, it was all lawfare, and most of it would never have happened if Trump would have went away after the 2020 election.

That is just dumb, it really is. There have been four impeachments in American History. Johnson, Clinton, and Trump, TWICE. Nixon was also subject to impeachment proceedings but resigned before the House vote. Reagan, Bush, Jefferson, Biden, Obama, Buchanan, the list goes on of those that in which impeachment votes either failed or did not come to a vote.

The whole lynching claim falls flat on it's face when you confront it with this reality. In almost 250 ******* years, never, ever, had a senator of the presidents own party, voted to convict. It happened BOTH times under Trump.

So libs can do it to whites but whites cant do it to blacks?

This wasn't a matter of "taste". This is deliberate, offensive trolling. It's been the pattern for the ************ since he got into politics. And the scumbags love it

 

[Delldude]

It happened BOTH times under Trump

And Dems, Indies and Repo's all united together and reelected Him in a landslide.

Whatever. Biden was a hardcore racist for virtually all of his 50 years in public life. And their cult overlooked it and elected him President.

He can apologize, and try to explain it, and that might help. But this does not help us, and will only peel more voters away from our side. Think about it, who publicly would want to be connected with this?

Also, who is the creator of the video itself? Didn't it occur to them that choosing 'apes' for the Obama's when they could have used ANY OTHER animal in the jungle, was probably not a good idea? How ******* stupid can you get?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then you have to ask, why was this video cued up right next to the voter fraud video? Why was it anywhere near the video they wanted to display?

This really pisses me off that we continually make these kind of stupid blunders like this! This is the kind of thing that will only reinforce the idea that Trump and Republicans are all hardcore racists and it will only dim our chances further!

 

[j-mac]

for the record, I do think that it is a long time trope that shouldn't have been used...

And, I think that anyone with an IQ over 50 would know that depicting a black individual as an ape would result in cries of racism...

However, like I said, in the grand scheme of things, it was a stupid faux pa that is insignificant, but does leave him open for criticism...

I get it, and can't answer those questions, because I didn't come up with the video...

I don't want him to explain anything, just a simple apology, and move on...

The SAVE act must be passed, and polling shows that an overwhelming segment of the population is in favor of it. It's only the Democrat Politicians who don't want this passed, and that must beg the question, why?

It's because they are trying to save their unfair manipulation of districts, which make up the number of Congressional seats, and thus the Electoral college...

This bill must pass, and this is just a distraction.
