support Trump 100% but doing shite like this certainly doesn't help his cause. The POTUS should be held to a higher standard. I know it was supposedly a staffer who posted it, but if it's Trump's official account, he's responsible. All it does is strengthen their belief that he's racist.


One more fricking time, since you idiots keep posting lies.

It was a fricking video about voter fraud, and the video ended and this one began as the other one ended. It was a video of a video.

It's like if you recorded a TV show in the 80's on your VCR, and after the show ended, a commercial started and then you stopped the recording.

Then you show that video to your friends and they see both the video and the start of the commercial as the tape ended.

Now, i know that critical thinking skills are lacking on this board, but you can surely understand the difference between showing your friend only the start of the commercial versus showing them the TV show and the start of the commercial that just happened to be there when the show ended.

I'm sick of people just making up shite. That's what factually happened here.

Wanna be mad, fine. But stop making shite up.

Some idiot didn't check what they were posting to Trump's social media.

The video clip had nothing to do with the parody song.

Taking away from the intended message.

I cannot say. In Trump's view, apologizing, which he's not done, is like admitting wrongdoing. At this stage, I'm almost inclined to think this wasn't done by happenstance.


Either Trump saw /approved it, and miscalculated the blowback, OR one of his staff was sloppy and possibly did this with intent, to sabotage him.

We may never know.

The media will selectively edit anything Trumps account sends out and turn it against him.

I don’t know why he makes it easy for them to do that. The dumb shite that sent that out should be fired immediately.

Some GOP responses -

LINK

A notable number of Republican lawmakers broke sharply with the White House on Friday after President Trump posted — and later deleted — a video on social media that included a clip of former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama depicted as apes.

Republicans have generally been careful about voicing criticisms of Trump, and Friday’s episode began with a more typical partisan line, with Democrats quick to condemn the video as racist.

But then Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) — a close Trump ally and the only Black Republican in the Senate — soon joined them, paving the way for others in his party to publicly disavow the post. “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” Scott said early Friday, addressing the video in a post on the social platform X. “The President should remove it,” the senator added.

Rep. Mike Lawler (N.Y.) — one of only three House Republicans whose districts voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 — called the video “wrong” and urged Trump to remove it. “The President’s post is wrong and incredibly offensive — whether intentional or a mistake — and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered,” said Lawler, who faces a tough reelection race this year and whose district was recently shifted from “lean Republican” to “toss up” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

The White House initially defended the post, saying it was from a meme related to “The Lion King” in which Trump is depicted as king of the jungle and Democrats are cast as the various animals, who bow before the lion.

“Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement earlier Friday.

But, by midday Friday, the video was taken down, and a White House official told The Hill the post was shared by mistake.

Or maybe I’m just smarter than you.
Optics matter more than you think. But that doesn’t mean you stop the good work happening behind the scenes. Stop shooting yourself in the foot because you think you’re “owning the libs”.
