The Truth Social post is just the latest example of Trump’s racism. The media is too cowardly to call him a racist. They’ll say his account posted a racist statement. Doesn’t that make him a racist?
The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.
Demonstrating that Trump believes his cult will believe anything he tells them to believe, the White House announced that the shockingly racist meme posted on Trump's Truth Social account was posted by "a White House staffer." It was posted in the middle of the night, so which "staffer" is that?
Haven't seen this angle mentioned, but it's an extraordinary national security risk to have an anonymous "staffer" impersonating the president of the United States, posting racist memes, from his personal accounts, at 10 PM.
Trump posting a racist video of the Obamas underscores how imagery long recognized as among the most explicit racist tropes in U.S. history have become normalized in the Trump era, @russcontreras.bsky.social writes.
Sad!
