So the absolute best defense for this is that a staffer with access to the most powerful man on the planets social media is posting videos without each watching them all the way through
Well, one thing is for damn sure. The video didn't open up by depicting the Obamas as monkeys like you claimed. It also wasn't created by the white house like you claimed.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt statement on President Donald Trump posting a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys:
"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."
Here she is deflecting and defending while he had the post deleted.
That's how fricking stupid this event is. It was completely avoidable.

I never claimed it was I just said if it was because the person who I was responding to said it wasn’t racist. I seriously was not thinking about whether they made it or found it and posted it. But if it’s not racist who gives a frick if it was made by them or not! The goal post moving is insane.

It sums up this administration.
I am amazed by the Trump loyalists. They are the ride or die type for sure.

No feeling hurt, just very embarrassing as a country to have a Man Child as a leader who does this.

If it was your job to be in charge of monitoring every AI video that was produced by the admin would you say anything when someone suggested making it open with 2 black people portrayed as monkeys or would you agree that it was fine to ship like that
None of that frickin shite is accurate. Not a word of it.
Thus, your "question" here reminds me of that old Will Farrell as Harry Carey skit. "If the moon was made of barbeque spare ribs would you eat it then?"

I’m asking if it was his job to create videos for them if he would have made that one. That doesn’t mean that someone at the White House made it. I even changed my question later to say sourced it. However they clearly at a minimum sourced the video with it in it and didn’t watch it first (best case). However it’s odd how defensive you are about who made it considering there is nothing wrong with it in your opinion.

And now everyone has watched the video. Not sure how people haven’t figured this out after 11 years.
How many of those people are talking about what the video was about? Or are they fixated on something else...?
Tell me how that helps move his agenda forward, makes things easier for the midterms and doesn't bring up past racial discrimination of portraying black people as primates.
He fricked up. There's no defense of it worth making. He deleted it. That's all the proof you need that he knows it's bad. But we have dipshits defending this and acting like history never happened when they know otherwise. Its absurd.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it personally, but then again, I'm not a leftist who invents reasons to scream into their pillows about Trump. I can recognize that I think it's not a good look, while also thinking the outrage towards it is frickin stupid.

Your post contradicts itself. Why is it a bad look if only Trump screaming liberals don’t like it?

If this was posted especially if it was only the obamas shown and not the full contextual video....
He indeed fricked up bigly. It was stupidity. Just like the reiner thing.
He has pissed me off a lot over 10 years with stupid PR mistakes.
I am glad he deleted it. This is a first. Now post the full version of both videos separately.

You talking in circles trying to defend something that’s indefensible

I hate the unforced errors and this is one of them. What kills me is that I don't believe the man to be racist whatsoever. I wouldn't support him if I thought he was. But this gives the media a chance to drum up all sorts of shite. It gives the activist types ammunition. It will piss off the middle of the road voters. It's an election year to top it off. If Michelle and Barack were anything else other than an ape or monkey you're probably in decent shape.. But with those two being who they are it carries consequences with it when you go after them like that. It will also give them the spotlight to turn this into a PR win if (when) they take it. Lastly, MAGA (all of us) gets painted and smeared with the racist branding. Which brings us back to the midterms. Maybe this is forgotten about and forgiven if the country is rolling along and we have some big wins... but why make it harder than it will already be?

Probably something humorous or maybe there's a bigger point being made in the video. I haven't and will not watch the video. Trump has a great sense of humor. But you gotta be smarter than to repost a video with the Obama's as apes no matter how funny the video may be overall. Because that becomes the focus. Everything else is lost and the narrative is set.

When I see stupid crap like this enter the media cycle from Trump, it leads me to believe we’re about to invade Iran or do something similarly insane.
