Trump's racist "Obama video" is just one more "Who the F*CK is going to STOP me" moment of shame

I'm sure you've seen it, and I'm sure it's already been posted on DU/ Here's a link:

Trump sparks fury after reaching 'new bottom' with 'disgusting' racist post about Obamas

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2675104804/

It's all part of the "I am going to be an even bigger asshole than you could possibly imagine, and I am NEVER LEAVING the White House" trolling of America.

He's DARING someone...anyone...to stop him, and the Republicans are most likely working on their best "responses," things like:

"I don't comment on the president's social media posts. I'm too busy working hard for the American people" weasel words.

1. Throwing red meat to the depraved cult

This makes the skells and incels feel good about their ignorance.

[orangecrush]

20. Way beyond that.

[mountain grammy]

24. Yep and this is all they want

not a care in the world about climate, Greenland, Venezuala, tarriffs, murdering people, etc, etc, etc!!!

This is their "policy" This is what they voted for!! Everything else is just noise. his poll numbers will tick up.

[OldBaldy1701E]

2. "He's DARING someone...anyone...to stop him"

Which is fine as there seems to be no one willing to do so.

This is just the beginning. He is going to claim emperor status. Just you watch.

And, he will get away with that as well, because we just won't endanger that system that allows them to behave like this.

Oh well...

[RazorbackExpat]

8. He'll probably ask the Pope to anoint him with that Korean crown he got

And if the Pope declines, then his pal Vladdie says he'll do the honors

[OldBaldy1701E]

11. Or the president of FIFA! (n/t)

[spanone]

3. RACIST

MOTHER FUCKER

[johnnyfins]

4. He's not daring anyone.

He is desperate to get Epstein out of the news. It won't work.

[Miles Archer]

12. Not sure if you saw the post I did about him declaring his "complete exoneration"...

...but he did. And the Clintons, after being threatened with criminal charges by Comer, aren't going to pull any punches when they testify.

The Epstein mess isn't going to just go away, no matter how much Trump wants it to.

[Lonestarblue]

5. Reminds me of the nasty comments that Michelle Obama endured as First Lady.

The one I remember clearly was a woman calling her an ape in high heels. The Republican racism seems worse now than it has been in decades. How do we change people who hate simply because of skin color!

[CrispyQ]

33. Personally, I think it's past time to declare that red hair & blue eyes are what makes one superior to everyone else.

This skin color thing has to go!!

I never got it. Why skin color, & not hair color or eye color or height or the length of your middle finger. I mean who is more superior than the person who's bird sticks up higher than anyone else's. 🖕🏼

Michelle Obama was grace under fire every day she was in the White House. I unfriended a cousin cuz of something he posted about her, & I sent him a message letting him know why, too. He pinged me during Biden's term & asked me if I was over it, & I wrote back, "Fuck off." I only wish I'd written, "Fuck off, Nazi."

[dlk]

6. His ignorant racism degrades us all

This guy is the supposed leader of the free world?

[sunflowerseed]

7. This!! This is the moment he became presidential!

As if! What a POS!

Can't beat a black man!!

Everybody hates Trump

EVERYBODY LOVES OBAMA!

[róisín_dubh]

9. Holy fuck

I mean, holy fuck

[Johonny]

10. This is what his voters want

The racism and hate is all they care about. He is a man of his people. He is a shit poster with little charm, grace, intelligence or ability to do much more than shit his pants. But he is one. This is who they are.

[Miles Archer]

15. It shuts up the "THIS ISN'T WHAT I VOTED FOR" MAGAts.

Everyone feeling the pinch when they pay for just about anything.

What they signed up for was racist high-fives and deporting and imprisoning brown people, so whenever they start grumbling, Trump amps up the racism and blind hatred of "liberals."

[Clouds Passing]

13. Anybody with skills? Create one of dump and co as ogres.

14. In the middle of Black History Month, more deflection..

President Miller and team behind the curtain

Deflection from Epstein Files

[Red Mountain]

16. Wonder what Caroline will say....

[Ol Janx Spirit]

26. Karolying Leavitt:

In a statement to Newsweek and other outlets, Leavitt said: “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 added.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/karoline-leavitt-gives-jaw-dropping-defense-of-donald-trumps-racist-obama-video/

Yes, keep the outrage for important things like a reporter not smiling enough when they ask you about your pedophile past, or like who is performing at the halftime of the Super Bowl--important stuff. It's not like racism and the use of clearly racist themes ever hurt anyone....

[malaise]

46. Nicely played

😀

[debsy]

17. Troglodyte dirtbag Donnie dumpster deflecting again with racist nazi propaganda

When will he ever be held accountable for throwing bags of shit at us all?

[orangecrush]

18. Truer words never spoken.

[a kennedy]

19. I really did not believe the piece of shit could go ANY LOWER.....

My mistake, he IS JUST ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, ABSOLUTELY. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[Ol Janx Spirit]

29. His ability to go lower seems to far surpass our ability to imagine what the lowest thing...

...a human in a position of power could or would do.

It's astounding really.

He's somewhere in the quantum physics realm of lowness; while we are still only seeing it on the atomic level.

[malaise]

47. He'll go lower

Take that to the bank

[70sEraVet]

21. Just when I think that I couldn't possibly hate him more.....

[themaguffin]

22. He's LEAVING the WH. Period.

[Racygrandma]

23. Guess who is not in the Epstein files

Obama

[MarcoZandrini]

25. Looks like....

…the Alzheimer’s is getting worse, much woserest.

Fukkkem

[LilElf70]

27. The lying racist is at it again

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-posts-video-depicting-barack-and-michelle-obama-as-apes/

[tinrobot]

28. Just another diversion from his deep involvement with Epstein.

The pattern is pretty clear.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

32. It's disturbing that one would rather be seen as a racist than a pedophile...

...but there we are!

I guess good human was already taken by all the Democrats....

[SocialDemocrat61]

30. Who is he to talk?

[ChicagoTeamster]

31. While they block all legislation that would benefit their constituents

And then take credit for legislation they blocked after it gets passed like they did with all of the development projects funded by Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

[CrispyQ]

38. Hyprocrisy is a feature, not a flaw in the Republican Party.

There was a story last year, that Trump had removed infrastructure project signs that had Biden's name on them, & replaced them with signs with his name. He is a complete, total piece of shit.

[ChicagoTeamster]

49. So are greed, selfishness, racism, and willful ignorance.

[malaise]

34. Poor Slobby

It must suck to know that you and Mehlania are mentally and intellectually inferior to both Obama’s.
Go fuck yourself racist — you’re still inferior to both of them.

[Greybnk48]

42. My thoughts exactly. He's feeling particularly "White Trashy" now that America

has resoundingly rejected him and his Euro-trash, porn model wife. The flop documentary says it all.

Michelle Obama is one of the most elegant, poised, and educated First Ladies in history. He seethes with jealosy because he, and the entire Trump family, have ALWAYS been denied full acceptance by the upper crust of America and elsewhere. They were tolerated, but considered rich trash.

I think he thought Melanoma would be seen as the new Jackie Kennedy. What a laugh! And look how he's now going after the Kennedy legacy too. It eating him up.

[Dave Bowman]

35. He's the one flinging poop aroud, like a rabid monkey.

Hey Pedonnie, how about the Epstein files?

[Chicagogrl1]

36. The Jealously is Beyond Palpable

The Obamas are everything he is not. He ‘s so mad the American people love & admire the Obamas. The lower his approval ratings go, the more he will attack those that are held in higher esteem.

[Yagoberto]

37. If newspapers don't have this as a top story...

They have decided to normalize Trump’s racism and craziness.

[Lulu KC]

53. I noticed this morning

As I made my way through my little list, The Guardian was the only one showing it front and center. Happens often.

[Arazi]

39. Counting down to the GOP being "disappointed" and moving on...

His cult will never EVER concede he’s a monster

[EnergizedLib]

41. Worse

They don’t care their cult leader is a monster.

[SWBTATTReg]

40. tRUMP's actions w/ regards to the Obamas is the last straw w/ me. It's time to seriously start impeaching or

removing this POS from the WH. He doesn't, in no way, no shape represent any of the proud American traditions and respect that we all admire.

[Mr.Bee]

44. his way of using the 'N' word

43. Kindergarden President

45. I wonder what Nicki Minaj thinks of this? n/t

[ChicagoTeamster]

48. Trump's always been a racist like his father. Folk singer Woodie Guthrie even sang about him, "Old Man Trump".

The song describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump, father of President Donald Trump. During the Great Depression, Guthrie lived in one of Trump's tenements while working for the WPA in New York. The Woodie Guthrie museum in Oklahoma has one of Guthrie's leases signed by Trump's father Fred.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

50. Oh that silly boy. "That's just tRump being tRump". Next act: tRump shooting someone on 5th Ave. (sarcasm)

He's appealing to his cult, nazis, and russian bots.

52. MaddowBlog-White House tries to defend Trump amplifying a racist video targeting the Obamas

After Karoline Leavitt tried to defend the latest example of the president’s routine racism, the White House stepped on her dreadful argument.

Trump amplifying another racist video got me thinking about the commitment he made to Black voters in his second inaugural — and how quickly he returned to the kind of gutter racism that helped fuel his political rise in the first place. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

— Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2026-02-06T16:01:29.577Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/white-house-tries-to-defend-trump-amplifying-a-racist-video-targeting-the-obamas

In the fall, for example, the Republican used the term “DEI” as a slur for minorities in blaming their involvement with the construction of Barack Obama’s presidential library. Soon after, the president, as part of an ugly anti-immigrant pitch, publicly referred to Somali Americans as “garbage” and revived his “s—hole countries” rhetoric.

The list, alas, continues to grow longer. The Associated Press reported:

President Donald Trump used his social media account to share a video about election conspiracy theories that includes a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle. […]

Nearly all of the 62-second clip, which was among dozens of Truth Social posts from Trump overnight, appears to be from a conservative video alleging deliberate tampering with voting machines in battleground states as the 2020 presidential votes were tallied. At the 60-second mark is a quick scene of two primates, with the Obamas’ smiling faces imposed on them.

The fact that the Republican president didn’t make the video himself is hardly exculpatory: Trump saw the video and thought it’d be a good to idea to amplify it, just as he did in his first term when he promoted a video of a supporter wearing Trump campaign gear while shouting “white power!”...

Republican Sen. Tim Scott, who is Black, wrote online that he was praying the video “was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The South Carolinian, who’s currently chairing the National Republican Senatorial Committee, added: “The President should remove it.”....

Complicating matters, a few hours after Leavitt tried to defend the racist video, the White House changed its story, saying in a statement, “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.”

Evidently, the press secretary’s “fake outrage” line proved unsustainable.

In his second inaugural address, Trump said: “To the Black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote. We set records, and I will not forget it. I’ve heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.”

Like too many of Trump’s promises, he wasted little time in trashing this commitment and returning to the kind of gutter racism that helped fuel his political rise in the first place.
