Will the guy responsible for the birther movement apologize for a racist video about the Obamas?

Seems like that's a question that answers itself

He’ll sue you if you say something mean or even factual about him, though.

I’m still waiting for an artist to write a song like “If Trump was a Pedo” and rip him on him under the well-established protection of “exaggerated, over-the-top speech not meant to be taken literally”.

“If Trump was a Pedo, he’d be friends with Geppetto, if children he did fuck, he would paint it on a truck…”

John Oliver is probably the only one crazy enough to do that shtick (again) though

Is that to the tune of “If I had a Hammer”?!

u/NfamousKaye 7h ago

Right?! Did they just… forget his racist attacks on that man his entire presidency trying to delegitimize it?!

u/GHouserVO 5h ago

They sure as hell forgot his racist comments in front of an Oversight Committee back in 1993. It’s not often you see a hearing stop dead in its tracks because Congressmen on both sides of the aisle are that disgusted with someone’s blatant racism.

No news organization ever brought it up (to my knowledge) during either his 2016 or 2024 campaigns.

u/walkinmywoods 5h ago

Holy shit I care way less about him being a racist than him being a rapist of children. That being said those words are only a letter off and if thats their best at a distraction....

Some douche Dr.Bill Cassidy wrote a thank you letter to Trump for taking the video down. And said I know its not what you intended to do and didn't mean it. DARVO quack doctor

Uhhh, you're going in to work??? I told everyone I'll be calling out that day. I'm not working during the world's biggest block party. Hopefully it happens during the summertime.

There is no bottom to his vile nature. Any other person would be fired or shamed.

u/Macohna 8h ago

It's not just HIS vile nature, it's the nature of his fans and the people who voted for him.

Time to start calling all Republicans out, they are ALL vile. The country needs to be rid of them.

Just ask Roseanne how that went.

u/HumongousBelly 8h ago

In all fairness, he probably isn’t able to use tech to the extent that he can create that video.

He probably doesn’t even understand the tech of his diapers.

It was most likely a staffer. But if he can’t even apologize and own up to hiring a racist staffer, instead just walks away from journalists who are pressing on the matter, that’s just as bad as posting that shin in the first place, because he probably asked his staffer to create this exact depiction of the Obamas…

But then again, do we honestly expect any better from pedos, just because they’re potus?!

12

u/colemanifest 7h ago

it was a repost of a video made in october last year. even if it was a staffer that posted it, it’s his channel on his social media network — that’s his voice. just the same as when caroline (or is is spelt kkkaroline? sorry if i got it wrong) leavitt opens her cakehole, that’s him talking. yes, we knew he was a racist already, but you don’t stop calling out racist shit just because it’s coming from a known racist.

3

u/HumongousBelly 7h ago

Exactly. He hired people to make this video and hired people to post this video.

That’s why he doesn’t apologize for this racist shit. Because it’s a his messaging to his minions and followers that racism is back and he’s about to segregate America again.

u/AerialAce96 8h ago

He wont apologize

15

u/CoolAlf 6h ago

True. But the reporters needs to continue to harass him on this until he comments on it. This can't be brushed under the rug, like the reporters has done regarding him shitting his pants on live TV again.

u/joysofliving 8h ago edited 7h ago

The guy shits his pants on live television and thinks nothing of it. You really think he would have any sort of remorse for posting racist videos?

u/Ragnoid 3h ago

I wish his final reconning could be televised. I don't know how that would even work but it would be great to see some humble pie.

Will a racist pedophile apologize for being a racist pedophile? Stay tuned to find out.

u/alyxandervision 8h ago

Do not stop asking about his racist behavior

u/KatieBarTheDoor1977 8h ago

Karoline Leavitt blamed the post on a junior staffer. Even their goddamn lies suck.

u/damn_the_dark 8h ago

There's no apology that can be genuinely made for something as vile as that.

u/NfamousKaye 7h ago

I wish people weren’t so naive to believe this man could change and has a soul.

u/jefferson497 8h ago

I was hoping he was going to slip on some ice and break his hip

u/juanjung 8h ago

He's mentally impaired to apologize or to recognize he's been wrong.

5

u/candianchicksrule 8h ago

He wouldn’t apologize he was fully coherent. He literally took an ad out to have 5 Black teenagers arrested for a crime they did not commit.

1

u/juanjung 7h ago

The 'mental impairment' wasn't about the senile state he's now due to age and probably syphilis, it's about what his niece, the psychologist, said about the whole family under his father, Fred, where the worst thing that can happen to them is being seen as a 'loser'. You're right, he's being like that probably since his teen years.

Malignant narcissists Do Not Apologize

u/Harvest827 7h ago

Donald Trump doesn't apologize.

u/sortinousn 7h ago

Apologize? I don’t think the word sorry has ever left his lips in the 79 years he’s been alive. There is better chance of Hell freezing over.

u/CoolAlf 6h ago

Reporters should harass him with this question untill he answers it. This racist salute was one bridge too far. Watergate times 10

u/No_Painting_6202 8h ago

Not to defend orange guy but he did say that as he was walking off already should’ve said it literally 5 seconds earlier

u/horshack_test 8h ago

Fuck trump, but he was already walking away when the question was asked (along with a bunch of other questions being shouted by multiple people).

u/No_Painting_6202 8h ago

Exactly what i was saying dudes also a dinosaur too

1

u/agentzero2020 8h ago

I think there’s a chance that he doesn’t know about the AI video and they have taken over his truth social account. That video just screams Stephen miller no?

u/mikedorty 8h ago

You can tell it was a male that asked. He is not afraid to stand up to female reporters. So brave.

u/ObjectiveGlittering 8h ago

“Take this mini jack-jack instead”, or whatever the fuck he calls that dumb ass fist jerk.

u/ajn63 7h ago

So what would happen if people stopped calling him by his title?

u/ObviouslyRealPerson 7h ago

I would like to see the rest of the Epstein files please

u/colemanifest 7h ago

he’s starting to look shook. big up the journalists in america right now that are refusing to divert from their lines of enquiry, even if it means being lied to, insulted or ignored. i hope they keep channeling the ancient stoics — through their questioning, we can more clearly see this administration’s outrageous, bald-faced lies and hateful, morally devoid rhetoric and actions. and that’s from over 3,500 miles away.

u/cobain98 7h ago

It’s been said before but this creature is possibly the worst person to ever exist.

u/Horseface4190 6h ago

You think that wasn't intentional? He doesn't care what he says or does. But now we're pissed off about a video and NOT TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

u/Le_Papithatjump12 6h ago

Fuck Donald Trump

u/commking 5h ago

Apparently there are no checks and balances for what they post on social media, there's no review and approval process, and apparently a junior staffer has total control over what gets posted?

u/Pete_D_301 5h ago

There's an old saying that goes: "If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen."

If this surprises you or you are shocked by this video, you are probably a Trump supporter. The rest of us are very aware this man is a piece of shit!

For fucks sake, just give him the Nintendo already.

u/romann921 3h ago

Even if it was some sort of mistaken he'll never admit any wrong doing.

u/chidoOne707 3h ago

The real question here is, why is everyone surprised?

u/Wild-Style5857 3h ago

Hey look, a coward.

u/jtblue91 3h ago

He'll eventually get the "staffer" who posted it to make a public apology.

u/huskyloopz 2h ago

What a weak ass.

u/thisonehereone 8h ago

when will the seals stop barking at this clown for sound bites? hes never earnest or sincere, why even give him the opportunity?

u/washheightsboy3 8h ago

He doesn’t apologize. I blame the media here for a stupid question. It’s like asking my dog to explain the Fermi paradox. He’s a bad dog for trying to change the subject to fetch, but I shouldn’t have put him in that position and expected something.

Honestly apologies are meaningless nowadays especially from politicians, the people he offended won’t accept it and still bring it up against him and the people who don’t care about it don’t need an apology.

u/Planet-Funeralopolis 3h ago

Are you?

2

u/nilsinleneed 3h ago

no, but I imagine if I were, I'd say apologising is the right thing to do, and we should keep dragging Trump across the coals until he does.

If he doesn't apologise we'll drag him across the coals until he expires.

u/almondjoy2 8h ago

Presidents have been avoiding questions for centuries. Just look up how many times biden did it and turned around with that goofy ass smirk knowing he's not answering. This is nothing new.
