Context, morons. The Obamas video was one that auto-played on social media, after the one Trump meant to post. It was a Lion King meme video, not created by anyone associated with Trump. Joe Biden was also depicted as a monkey eating a banana.
Outrage obsessed leftists. 9_9

So depicting black people as apes is ok as long as it is associated with a Disney cartoon? You're as pathetic as Trump is.
"The clip - set to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight - was at the end of a 62-second video he shared containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Republican Senator Tim Scott - who is black - had called for the president to remove the post, describing it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House".

Jokes are jokes. Priggish leftists just have no sense of humor.

If it was all so innocent, why did Trump remove it so quickly?
RE: Trump's racist video of the Obamas.. - Syne - Feb 7, 2026
Unintended offense is usually followed by removing what people find offensive. Republicans in general don't have the highly honed offense radar of the priggish left.
RE: Trump's racist video of the Obamas.. - Magical Realist - Feb 7, 2026
In other words an admission that Trump's post was in fact totally racist and offensive. Can't get any more damning than that.
RE: Trump's racist video of the Obamas.. - Syne - Feb 7, 2026
Offense in the eye of the beholder doesn't actually imply intent to offend. If the intent was to offend, there would be no reason to take it down. Hence the accusation of racist intent is unfounded... except by the same easily offended leftist prigs who call anything racist.

And yet it wouldn't be taken down if it weren't acknowledged as being offending. Whether out of intent to to mock the Obamas or out of sheer juvenile stupidity, Trump exposed his own racist insensitivity and has yet to issue an apology. Just another day from the Shitbag in Chief.

Again, offense is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't imply intent, nor even stupidity. People with a healthy sense of humor don't spend their time imagining what priggish Karens are going to be offended by next. It's usually a complete surprise unless you live in such a priggish mindset.
At best, you'd only get an insincere "sorry I offended you're delicate sensitivities" apology. I know those work from leftists, but they are never accepted from Republicans. They are universally used as gotchas to "prove" your guilt. Hence no such apology incoming. It's the world leftists created for themselves through their own double-standards and hypocrisy.
