"It seems etymologically, metaphysically, geologically and ethically impossible that President Donald Trump could reach a new low. But he has. Every Friday, when I'm planning my column, I find fresh evidence that the president is unfit for his office. He taunts his foes in crude, creepy ways and tries to tattoo his name on everything. Late Thursday, a vile clip appeared on Truth Social, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle cartoon, to the Tokens' The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
"It was at the end of a video filled with baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The man who pushed the despicable birther conspiracy is still at it, using a racist meme from a far-right Pepe-the-Frog-loving acolyte. Like many of Trump's actions, it was shocking and predictable. As The New York Times reported, Trump has a history of making degrading remarks about people of color, women"
Late Thursday, a vile clip appeared on Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle cartoon set to The Tokens' The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The clip was attached to a video full of baseless 2020 election conspiracy theories. The man who pushed the birther conspiracy continues using racist memes from far-right acolytes. The White House, Labor Department and Homeland Security Department have promoted posts echoing white supremacist messaging this term. The White House press secretary framed the clip as an internet meme showing President Trump as king of the jungle and Democrats as The Lion King. The post was deleted amid outrage and officials blamed a staffer, while some Republicans objected.
