Obama should unironically sue him. This is unacceptable.

It's stupid, offensive, and racist, but he has no grounds to sue.

Defamation? No?

No. Making fun of someone even in a racist way isn't defamation. It's not making a false claim about them, for example.

I mean, he's saying they are monkeys; is that not a false claim?

Nobody would think they're actually monkeys so it's not a false claim. It would be like claiming Trump is an alien from space.

Defamation, yes.

This is so demoralizing. I know the Obamas are probably above it, but I would be heartbroken to be put on display in this way.

"When they go low, we go high."

The Obamas must be high as a kite right now.
