Dave Barry, back in the '80s (or maybe '90s) wrote that “Trump” was the sound made by a bovine in metabolic distress. “Look out, Earl! That cow’s about to Trump!”

No. We can imagine the brain\*-storming that went on in the White House, to find an “explanation” for why any objection to the Obamas-as-apes depiction was “fake outrage.”

‘_It is just about the Lion King_’ has to be a low point for Leavitt and the rest of the lie-construction crew.

The fact that Republican Tim Scott dared to object in public is the most hopeful thing, here; a few months back he wouldn’t have dared. Same with some others who have spoken up:

Sometimes I think the MAGAs might be thinking they are using a dog whistle, and that everyone else will just see a Lion King meme, but they are so deaf that they don’t realize their “dog whistle” is Loud and Clear to _everyone_…

I think there were too many old school Republicans around him warning him that it was illegal and the base wouldn’t go for that kind of cult of personality shit.

Those old school Republicans were wrong, but they were convincing back when he thought he needed them.

He was surprised by his win and totally unprepared to be President. He didn’t have a real grasp on the power. Once he started figuring out how he could abuse the situation, the pandemic hit and he lost his chances. Then he had four years to steep in revenge and power fantasies. For the second term, he started his abuse right out of the gate to make up for lost time.

Dog whistles are so yesterday. The game has changed. Before the game was to say something racist without anyone but your friends noticing so you can feel superior about how you pulled one over on the libs without their even noticing it. Now the game is to say something blatantly racist but then try to pretend that it was really innocent so you can feel superior about how all those libs are getting upset over nothing.

Part of me takes some pleasure in their willingness to throw Leavitt under the bus. “Go out there, sweetie, and defend the indefensible” and then her masters do a complete 180. But then I remember that they have absolutely no shame and don’t care.

I’m enjoying the fact that Trump admitted he didn’t even watch the 1 minute video to the end before posting it. Thus, he didn’t know about the Obama/Ape segment, and the racist fucks who support him STILL say “it’s not a big deal.”

Not an admission, it’s a lie. Someone probably showed him how to use AI. He probably created it.

This is just what a stupid school yard bully does. It’s got Trump written all over it. And he thinks it’s funny. The man has as much class as a coach seat next to the bathroom.
