I know there are people who will dispute my theory here, but I actually think Trump's Truth Social post on January 5th 2026, which displayed a video depicting President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes, is mainly a continued effort to deflect from the Epstein files. We already know from years ago that Donald Trump is a racist and a white supremacist. We already know about his red line tactics towards "filtering" blacks from his rental properties. We already know about his use of the word "nigger", despite many people too afraid of confirming his rancid vitriol.
Trump likening us black folks to monkeys is no doubt, nothing new. Yet, now you got Republicans displaying fabricated shock; however they know he is racist-- just like they are racist. But because this particular video Trump posted was so blatantly racist, the Republicans are scrambling and experiencing great difficulty defending their white supremacist leader. Oh me, oh my! Whatever will they do? ...Nothing.
The following comment regarding Trump's post of the video from Republican senator Tim Scott of North Carolina makes my head spin. Scott, who is one of Trump's favorite black pets, exclaimed on Twitter (now called X) "praying it was fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. The President should remove it." It was reported later, a flustered Tim Scott called Trump and requested the post be taken down because of its offensiveness. Yet watch how this black man who hates his skin color will continue to kiss Trump's and the Republican party's ass, and do so happily with a soft shoe shuffle.
Racist white Christian nationalist Karoline Leavitt who serves as the White House Press Secretary released an absurd statement justifying the video. She claimed the video of the Obama's with their faces on the body of monkeys was representative of animal characters in the movie known as "The Lion King". Does her statement make it any better? Hell no. Should anyone trust a single word out of that racist woman's mouth? Hell no.
Such a post should immediately rally calls for impeachment and resignation, but you won't find such outrage in this country. No, not in the United States of America! Indeed, a significant portion of this country is quite happy with Donald Trump's racist policies and bigoted displays. They share the same white supremacist ideology. Whether it's his call for the death penalty of the falsely accused "Central Park Five", or blaming people of color for helicopter crashes because of D.E.I., Donald Trump has never hid his racism--ever. Therefore, we can only assume any congressional Republican response condemning the video is simply fabricated. They agreed with all of Trump's racist actions before the video depicting the Obamas as monkeys. In fact, we can only expect more racist displays and actions, because openly being a racist is one of the major reasons people voted for Trump in the first place.
Do not expect Donald Trump to issue an apology for his racist post on Truth Social. It is just a continuation of winks to his white supremacists base; strategically placed for Black History Month which Trump despises, as the man seeks to destroy black history--literally. However, just as important, Trump wants to divert people from learning the explicit sordid details coming forth from the Jeffrey Epstein files. Donald Trump was a blatant racist in his first administration, and even more blatant in his second administration, as he seeks to crush the political, educational, and economic advances blacks and other minorities have made in this country.
And if he should apologize (and he will not) why would anyone believe his apology to be sincere? Well,..maybe.... Tim Scott, Bryon Donalds, Nicki Minaj, Candance Owens, and other black people who hate being BLACK.
