Why is Trump posting racist memes about the Obamas in the late hours of the night?
Because he's racist.
But this is also perhaps a sign that his ongoing mental decline is getting even worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHLciC67V8

Don’t make the mistake of lumping this in with weekly Trump outrages. This is the knife at the jugular of democracy. It should be an absolute call to maximum resistance for all patriots.

Oh look, another top Gavin Newsom advisor signing up to work for tech oligarchs amid Silicon Valley fascism.
