We’re supposed to believe this?

Oh come on. He’s notoriously a shameless liar. His assuring anyone of anything means nothing. Adding “clearly” and “unequivocally” to the verb does nothing to make it true. Trump lies as easily and readily as he sneers and mocks and insults and libels. And as for “He understands the painful and racist history in America of depicting African Americans as apes, a tactic long used by white supremacists to demean Black intelligence and humanity. He knows this is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable.” – no he doesn’t! Of course he doesn’t!

He doesn’t understand it cognitively, because his brain is mush, and he doesn’t understand it emotionally because he is an evil heartless self-centered malice-driven sadistic piece of shit. Why in hell are you defending him?

Oh and also, he’s a racist.

The President made it clear to me that this post was made by a staffer and not by him.

He has a staffer who posts racist dreck on the presidential account late at night? Does someone else cover the day shift?

My recommendation to the President was direct and firm. That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action. This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build.

Of course it reflects the heart, values, and leadership of the President of the United States: that is who he is.
