Agree. I have worked with/for organizations with MUCH LESS clout, prestige, reach and influence than the White House. All social media, at these places, has several sets of eyes on anything before posting. There is no way a junior staffer can freely post to the President’s social media accounts.

+1 This is depressingly accurate.

Exactly...and it was Trump, not a staffer.


Sad that people will believe it’s a staffer.


If it really was a staffer, shouldn’t the White House provide the name of this person? Why isn’t the media asking for this info?


This is the staff that manages Trump's social media presence:
Alex Bruesiwitz (X Strategies)
Trump War Room staff on X
Steven Cheung
Karoline Leavitt
Alex Pfeiffer
Taylor Budowich


And none of them would be using Trump's Truth Social account to post racist memes at 2 am.
Maybe Cheung?
Trump’s been crazy posting midnight-2am since his 1st term. Stimulants wear off and it’s prime time for him. His crazy is now seeping into day time rants, despite meds.

Whatever his diagnoses are, gray matter loss drives cognitive decline (memory/thinking) and white matter damage (vascular disease) impacts processing speed, balance, and communication between brain regions.

All of this was very publicly recorded information. Tons of people work overseas and Obama was far from the first person with a parent who wasn't a citizen and a family that worked overseas. It was just racial targeting and conspiracy theory to suggest the target was the liar not Trump who made the whole thing up. He was testing the waters to see how gullible and racist Americans were. A decade later here we are. Till people start speaking out, we will continue to live in a world of actions based on lies.


Until white Americans speak out, we will continue to live in a racist world.

I'm white and told anybody who would listen to vote against Trump all three times he ran. But here we are.


Many of us whites have been screaming from the rooftop since 2016.....we are here and we care but there are other whites and even blacks and latinos that apparently are good with blatant racism and proudly say they voted for this.

Yup....I cut out my racist relatives when they cheered for J6 and claimed MAGA was saving Merica.

It may also nudge sone more republicans to leave office, possibly creating opportunities for Dems.

The other positive is that we have found at least one line that the country will not cross. Wish the pushback had been more robust but at the end of the day it was taken down and we didn’t have the usual spin of:
Didn’t happen
Wasn’t Trump
Doesn’t mean what you think it does
So what if it’s racist, this is what the country voted for

It’s a shamefully low bar but perhaps it has been found.

It is an established fact that Donald J. Trump is an avowed racist, misogynist, corrupt, pathological lying SOB and if he applied for a job in any Congressional office he would never be hired.

If he applied for a job with any of the billionaires in his cabinet he would not be hired because he is also incompetent with 7 bankruptcies under his belt as a CEO. Yet, everyone one of these boot licking, a$$ kissing sycophants are aiding and abetting him in his attempt to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.and all should pay the price for their treason.

See, I think it's both this tweet and the slow drip of terrible actions by Trump on so many high profile fronts, especially the Epstein files.
His support is weakening.
He's weakening (physically and mentally).
It's a matter of time at this point before something breaks loose.

This is blatantly racist and yet I’ve noticed there is a narrative being pushed now that liberal white people are the true racists and worse than conservatives. I’m a POC and I know white liberals can be condescending and yes, racist. But there seems to be a push to demonize white liberals. Lots of social media of POC saying to watch out for white liberals because they are the enemy. Lots of “white liberal women are responsible for the demise of the country” from right wingers. And yet, here is this racist AF post from the president. It’s like they are trying to re-write history and reality. As a POC, if I have to pick between micro-aggressions or being shoved into a van bc of my background, I’ll take the former.

Mocking John McCain’s Vietnam service, while he sat home chasing skirts. Also, called military members “suckers and losers.”

Whether he posted it himself or someone under him is irrelevant. If it was indeed an error, a lapse in judgement by someone under him, then most normal people would immediately remove it and express sincere apologies, rather than blaming someone.

Such an embarrassment of a president.



A lapse in judgment? That’s a pitiful excuse. No apology necessary, anyone who could do that doesn’t belong in the White House.

you are saying ut like having a racist in teh WH wasn't the norm- I would argue that Eisenhower (made more probable if his mother was "passing like it is alleged but even those who passed allowed their kids to have racist beliefs b.c they couldn't challenge the fiction of their "whiteness') , George W Bush (God help me ) and Obama are the only non-racist presidents we've ever had, products of their ages and experiences.

I'm saying it like our president is an overt, blatant, unapologetic racist and it is normalized. I am not too old, but I cannot remember any president in my lifetime openly and blatantly displaying his racism.


Half of American voters voted for this idiot. Haven’t you figured out by now half of Americans are racist.


Exactly why we need to reinstate sensible DEI programs....look how we are without these guardrails.
