Fury erupted early on Friday after Donald Trump posted a racist video that depicts Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

The clip appeared during one of the 79-year-old US president’s increasingly frequent late-night posting sprees to his Truth Social account, and shows the laughing faces of the former president and first lady superimposed on the bodies of primates in a jungle setting, bobbing to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

The appear briefly at the end of a minute-long video made by a third party that amplifies Trump’s persistent but false claim that he won the 2020 election, when in fact he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. The conspiracy-theory video is a repost of content stamped with the logo of the website Patriot News Outlet, a site supportive of the Trump, a Republican.

Thank you Mr Trump. I recently likened Obamas "partner" to a silverback in a recent hivemind hate Melania thread to highlight "her" total lack of femininity. Censored natch😅 so thank you Trump for giving me back a voice by proxy.

Btw the left used to pretend to be outraged by attacks on democracy. Nobody did more than these 2 vile individuals. Spying on the Trump campaign should have seen them swinging from a limb.

MAGA=racist.

There is no doubt remaining.

If you are MAGA, you are racist.

Trump just pretty much guaranteed a Blue Tsunami in November, with Dems retaking both the House and Senate. Not a peep so far from the cowardly Republicans about Trump's latest idiocy.

That also means Trump will be impeached again, and convicted in the Senate.

Trump shot himself in the foot, which was in his mouth, while his head was up his arse.

Count me in I thought it was pretty funny.

Hamas and the terrorists regularly compare jews to monkeys and animals. I bet you no Trump hater ever objected to any of those

Trumps even annoyed all the primates in the jungles

Keep on dreaming, it's good for morale.

Gorilla' would be more appropriate for Big Mike.

This is very typical of a man who has such an astounding lack of dignity and grace, and such a putrid tiny little heart filled to the brim with darkness.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George Bush Jr. look smart, elegant and articulate in comparison. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created?

Unappealing, unattractive, idiotic, incompetent, hateful, hurtful, abrasive, rude, blowhard, liar, cheater, thief, infantile, failure, loser, fraud, sexual abuser, incestuous, tax cheat, insurrectionist, un-American, dictator-loving dictator wannabe, out of control, sociopathic, convicted felon, toxic narcissist & brutish A-hole.

The extraordinary thing about this is that Trump does not have the gravitas, the intelligence or the substance to even qualify to shine Barack Obama's shoes. Obama outclasses Trump by almost every metric that could be created to compare the two men. Trump is a tiny, sad, pathetic, felonious, ugly, fat, toxic weakling pig, and by comparison Obama was a brilliant and successful genius.

Keep up the insights.

Good job, he managed to alienate the few Black folks who voted for him. So now he has five less supporters.

He should do one for Clarence Thomas, no danger of him losing that vote!

Says alot more about his clan and voter's

Taco strikes again.

Donald Trump has removed a racist video from his social media account which depicted Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as primates in a jungle.

The Republican leader’s post drew backlash for its treatment of the nation’s first black president and first lady.

Nearly all of the 62-second clip 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, a quick scene appears of two primates, with the Obamas’ smiling faces imposed on them.

Those frames were taken from a longer video, previously circulated by an influential conservative meme maker. It shows Mr Trump as "King of the Jungle" and depicts a range of Democratic leaders as animals, including Joe Biden.

Donald Trump deletes 'disgusting' video showing Obamas as apes

Sky News reports that a White House official claimed a member of staff "erroneously made the post".

Trump & Team never do anything randomly, so watch closely what he will do while everybody is screaming about this.

This says it all.

The image displays a quote attributed to Donald Trump in a 1998 People magazine article, where he allegedly discusses running for office as a Republican because they are "the dumbest group of voters". However, this quote is a widely debunked internet meme and has been fact-checked as false.

Indeed, it says it all: simply mention the name "Trump" and watch the mouth-foaming irrationality take over.

Racism in its purest form. I was under the impression this was the topic of this thread?

I am ashamed of ALL of us to have become so numb to this. Had ANYONE else at ANY time posted pictures of blacks' faces Photoshopped onto an ape's body, all hell would have broken loose.

Shame on all of us.

No, and I know you know better. The topic is 47's racism.

Try reading the topic's heading again. This is a weak and transparent red herring that can only work on 47's fools.

Hypocrisy, everywhere and all the time. There is good racism and bad racism.

At least 2.4 million Afro-Americans voted for Trump in 2024. Take a breath and a step back, and consider this data at face value.

Cry harder. Save your fake outrage for when he's in jail

Seems to be credible evidence Obama not born in US after all. His children not his. One child recently dropped the Obama name. Numerous other inconsistencies. Circumstancial evidence the couple is homosexual.

Surely, Michelle (Mike) typical complaint factory black wo/man. Is her podcast still going on and why?

While I dislike both Obamas, I will not use racial slurs to describe them.

Lefty term that was invented to distract people from the real issues. Typically low IQ lefty people play the race card cause they can't use critical thinking.
