Trump's racist post came at the end of a minute-long video promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. After deleting the post, Trump told reporters he "didn't make a mistake."

It’s unfortunate that the current president of the USA is a racist, convicted felon, who lies when he opens his mouth. But what’s even more bizarre is that about 30% of the American population supports him.

Coincidentally he put his vile racist message in time for Black History Month.

He knew exactly what he was doing. 🤬

Wow. Trump was so racist yesterday that even the Southern Baptist Convention denounced his action. Though, get a load of the “deemed racist” in the headline, as though it wasn’t clearly racist.

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”
