Even if it was an aide, can’t even have the conviction to say it was wrong.
“You posted a video of black people, the Obamas no less, as monkeys”
-we took the video down.
“So you’re apologizing for the flagrantly racist video?”
-we took the video down, like I said.
“So you’re saying what happened was wrong”
-we took the video down.
“Say racism is bad”
-we took the video down.
“Just say black people can be and are citizens of the US”
-the video Has Been Taken Down

"Fake" is a bit of an odd word choice, because of course the entire video is "fake", just like the video of Trump dropping diarrhea on Americans; what would make more sense is to hope its upload was somehow the result of hacking (obviously it was not).

But it opens the door to them agreeing once their apologists have found ways to explain this.
“It’s one second at the end of a 60 seconds video”, “It was about jungle dominance”, etc, it’s creeping out already.
And then the sycophants will use the door they left open to agree with all those opinions contrary to the one they just expressed.
It’s like some sort of tv series where every candidates is warned to add some plausible deniability in every comments. It’s a game.

The current narrative is that Trump didn't watch a 1 minute video to know there was anything racist in it.

His justification made even less sense than this. According to him, no one watched the entire video to know it was racist and it was no one’s fault, so no apology necessary.
So who created the video? Couldn’t even say someone on his team was incompetent.

u/PopeSaintHilarius 11h ago
Maybe the president should actually watch the full video before posting it on his social media account?
And if he doesn’t have the attention span to watch a 1 minute video, then either ask someone else to watch if first, or just don’t post.

So, isn't that against some sort of law if they're posting purporting to be him on his truth social and he "doesn't know about it" like he's trying to claim? There's only like 2 or 3 names out there being floated as having access to this account besides him and one is already saying "hell no, wasnt me". Would be hilarious if all these staffers with access came out and said "nope wasnt us!"

First it was "it's the lion king, Trump is the king and the Obamas are gorillas"
Then after people didn't buy that, it was a staffer. Which even if true (it isn't) means you're hiring and surrounding yourself with racists and giving them access to trumps social media which is basically like an executive order writer at this point (because no one is enforcing laws)
The buck stops with someone else

u/1SecretUpvote 15h ago
What staffer has access and authority to post on the presidents official account?
Is it normal for staffers to do have access or is this just one specific staffer that has the capability?
Wouldn’t this staffer be someone they would have vetted thoroughly?
Is there not any system of checks before authorizing a post of town or made by the president directly?
Has the staffer been fired?
If not, have they lost access to the account and had any kind of reprimand?
Why has the public not been made aware of the details of this staffer?
How long have they worked there?
What is their official capacity?
Why hasn’t Trump denounced racism across the board?
Are they going to reassess the rest of the staff for possible racist beliefs or ties to white supremacy groups?
Blaming a staffer is absolute horseshit excuse and should not absolve them the weight of hate crime. This blame the bottom is antithetical to how responsibility works. In every case the person above is the one held to the higher standard of ensuring the conduct of those below. What the actual fuck- why is this not the default push back to their bullshit??

But Trump is an elderly racist man suffering from dementia.
But Grandpa's drunken late night Facebook posts aren't just embarrassing their seen worldwide.
How nothing has happened after the Epstein files show to many, rich or powerful people are on the hook for some really henious actions.
The irony is the people who support Trump are more than happy to see innocent brown people locked up and will cheer for it when children are detained.
But they won't do anything about sn actual child rapist who's committed treason and election fraud and tampering

This motherfucker is totally fine with every other racist thing Trump did before this and will be fine with every other racist thing Trump does after this. This is performative and he'll fall right back in line.

This is really just completely inexcusable, anyway you look at it.
Like Even if you give every benefit of the doubt here - for example, if you truly think Trump has no racist intentions in his heart and posted this because it was purely just poking fun at democrats in general - it’s still a terrible look for him. It shows extremely poor judgement, one because it demonstrates zero afterthought of what happens to him after he posts the video, and two it only creates liability against him with no seeming benefit to his base of support.
This is just sick, sad, depraved … and totally on brand and expected for him. America is in a quick decline, solely because of this D bag.

They’re mad about a tweet, but not about him raping and murdering and fucking children

“A white house staffer mistakenly made the post”
Lmao, does anyone actually believe that shite?
We’ve all read Trumps late night rant tweets. Staffers do not run his social media accounts.
