"What we must call out as a blatantly racist reposting on his so-called Truth Social (which is never true and certainly not social) posting, the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, uploaded an AI generated video depicting both former President Barack Obama and former First Woman Michelle Obama as very hairy dark brown monkeys donning wide smiles while standing in a tropical jungle."
"For example, during his reelection campaign rally in Breaks, Virginia, in 2006, Sen. George Allen told the crowd while referring to a 20-year-old U.S.-born college student of Indian heritage who was filming the event, "Let's give a welcome to macaca, here," followed by, "Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia." The term "macaca" is commonly considered a slur."
"For some reason, Trump seems never to suffer the consequences from his offensive attacks on groups he has "othered": people of color, women and girls, LGBTQ+ people, Muslims, Jews, atheists, immigrants both undocumented and documented, entire countries, and so many others that the list is virtually endless. Trump, usually known for charging exorbitant prices to reside at his properties, has apparently given Barack Obama a special no-cost deal to inhabit his head."
Donald Trump reposted an AI-generated video portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as hairy dark brown monkeys standing in a tropical jungle. The reposting is described as blatantly racist. A historical parallel is cited in which Sen. George Allen used the slur "macaca" at a 2006 rally, a remark that contributed to his electoral defeat. The term "macaca" is commonly considered a slur in parts of North Africa. The piece lists numerous groups Trump has "othered," and notes that he appears to suffer few consequences for repeated offensive attacks. The text also criticizes his persistent fixation on Obama.
