Trump’s video depicting Obamas as apes sparks outrage

Something that seems to pass people by is that this man has absolutely no class. He is an ignorant (comparing himself to Nelson Mandela is a recent act that reveals his lack of self awareness) loud-mouthed tasteless American, who is interested only in himself and no-one and nothing.

This sums him up perfectly:

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

"A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:*

Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of bull<deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

It is not a response, it's a six-year old left-wing diatribe and attack piece published ahead of the 2020 election.

The failed goombah continues his behavior as a 13 year old street thug, attempting to coerce Congress and the Senate into renaming buildings, airports and institutions after him.

Either he's living in a parallel universe, or he knows that his legacy is going to be horrific enough, that maybe slapping his name up on a few buildings is going to make a difference in his own tiny mind.

Job losses? Who cares, they're just ordinary Americans, they don't count.

The Trump administration asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for the Washington region’s Dulles International Airport and New York’s Penn Station to be named after President Donald Trump in exchange for releasing the federal funds required to build a long-delayed tunnel between New York and New Jersey, multiple sources told NBC News.

The states of New York and New Jersey have sued to force the administration to release the funds, which had already been appropriated.

The Gateway project warned that it will be forced to halt construction soon if the money doesn’t start flowing. If that happens, thousands of construction workers would be laid off.

The White House declined to comment, and Schumer’s office did not respond to a request for comment. A source close to Schumer told NBC News that "there is nothing to trade."

"The president stopped the funding, and he can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers," the source said.

Funny, when the woke left wing, pro illegal, or environmental terrorists or who knows what, spread fake pics of Trump dressed in some nazi outfit, it rarely makes a global uproar.

That's because we radical left lunatics control the media not the jews.

For sure, as a majority did vote for him. Things have never changed in the US even before Trump. IT has always been america-first and all those not american, were considered of lower standard. With Trump, the discourse just gets a bit more open as he does not give a hoot on what people think and how it is said.

This should also open the eyes of many nationals who are well educated and have been bootlicking America for ages. It's not for nothing that even before Trump, you see many highly qualified professionnals doctors, dentists, software, IT etc who are leaving America for good, going back to their homelands in Africa or India or Asia, are prospering and really doing very well. Some even have their wealthy american clients-patients who go back to them in their respective homelads, to get the treatment in some posh worldclass clinic in India.

Take the Clintons, Obama's orBush. They have always imposed their dominance on the rest of the world and supported what Israel has been doing for ages in Gaza. So nothing new with Trump here really. OF course, you cannot and never can say all of such or such people are good or bad. No matter where, you will find good and bad people. But in general the domination of America towards the rest of the world has been going on since the end of WW2. Sorry to all my very good american friends - no hard feelings please. 🙏

I just want to correct one thing: a majority did not vote for Trump in 2024. The majority of voters chose someone else. Trump received approximately 49.8% of votes cast. He and his MAGA minions do not have the decisive mandate they claim.

I must confess to deriving a great deal of entertainment from this thread. Does that make me a troll? Perhaps I should start another account where I pretend to be a semi retarded janitor and spam the board with ridiculous questions. Oops, that's been done already and the members here took the bait: hook line and sinker.

I'd still like to see the files that directly link Trump to any of the Epstein shenanigans. All I've seen, heard, and read thus far is partisan pap.

juts a thought... why don't you ask the DOJ for any and all copies of the correspondence between her and Trump and while at it be nice and ask nicely for any and all unredacted files, after that all your shenanigans will be answered

What does Israel have to do with this ?

This story is nothing to do with Israel or Jews .

Keep your Anti semetic posts to the relevant threads

They are not antisemitic and thanks for using a slur. We’re talking about comparative racism here. Your post appears to trivialise the outrage over Trump, though I may have misread it. If so, I apologise. If not, you don’t get to cherry-pick which forms of racism matter.My point being if my assertion is correct you are quick to shout - anti-semite - a call out to racism but have a blind spot when it happens to a black President of the US and his first lady. Black Lives Matter.

Your claim that Jews control the media was indeed Anti Semitic .

Why even mention Israel or Jews ?

You were just looking for an opportunity to bash Jews

Stick to the subject, Trump posting a video featuring various people as animals , himself included .

Nothing to do with jews

Let’s depict various ethnic minorities as animals, perhaps rats or other vermin, then see precisely at which point you get to understand how that might be a problem.

What claim I am genuinley confused as to what rule you think I have broken ? If you are not Jewish then apologies I thought in all honesty in good faith that you are.

I believe that Trump is a red herring. The <removed> people are in a frenzy now, especially on Reddit. Still no incriminating evidence, not even a trace of it.

I'd expect Biden to be in the files, but Epstein's stable were a little too old for the Child Sniffer in Chief. I'm still waiting for my 'winter of death' that was promised back in 2021/2022. These files are just a continuation of the George Floyd (remember him?)/Covid/ Ukraine/ Gaza extravaganza that has kept Americans divided and at each others' throats for the last few years.

I suspect any proof about Trump will take much longer and will probably be fabricated after his death.

Obamas as apes? End of democracy.

Trump as Hitler, a pedo, in diapers, getting corn-holed by Putin etc.? That's all great.

The left sh*ts on everything and then howls about the smell.

Hypocrisy, thy name is lefty.

Take your thoughts to them not the Americans who want him gone, hopefully he will be shackled after the November midterms.

Why to wait till November, with the risk Trump calls for an emergency situation or let ICE block all not white supremacy voters ?

In a decent democracy, this act would be an impeachment today. And the response from the Senate and House ? Just some small waves..

I read his full quote where he watched the first few seconds and forwarded the video for a staffer to post. Apparently the monkey shines didn't happen until the end of the video. Considering the sheer volume of tripe that spews out of the Whitehouse these days, the explanation passes the sniff test. Someone got one over on the Orange Genius.

Doesn't really make sense , because there were 15 other people in the video as well .
