Wut. This is beyond insane, but not beyond Trump.
Please, Americans, be safe. As a Russian, I see all the signs of very familiar shit. This insanity is engineered, and when the feeling of normalcy is blurred, things will go south very fast.

He's a racist. Of course he did.
This was literally the guy who started his entire political career in earnest by calling in to Fox News and talking about how Obama wasn’t “American” because he’s black. Trump found his political fame because he advocated the “birther” conspiracy.
It’s honestly crazy that anyone could be surprised. He’s been up front about his racism for fifteen years now.
That was fake news. The account that posted it was in Nigeria.
Trump. Ushering in a new era of green energy by making Lincoln spin fast enough in his grave to produce energy for the whole world.
I’m okay going beyond just punching Nazis. We should string them up publicly like Mussolini and let them fry in the sun, while people throw things at them until they’re dead. Fucking tired of this dumbass country.
1945: the US defeats the Nazis 80 years later: just kidding, the US became the Nazis.
What are you doing about it? We all know how it's going to turn out.
What an absolute piece of shit he is! 💩
This is not shocking or surprising. Trump represents white America, and this is pure, unadulterated, white America. The internet has allowed white Americans to be their complete shit selves in relative anonymity to the point that they now realize the majority of their brethren are bathing in the same fecal pools, so that many are emboldened to go mask off. Ask any person of color what their experience is online, and they'll tell you this is typical white behavior, including white women (we see you Stacey).
I'm sure this stunt is his attempt to distract us from something. This guy has to be the best at being the "racist senile old man" I've ever seen. I don't think he plans anything but he plays the media like a fiddle to get attention any time he wants while avoiding all accountability.
I've never understood why anyone ever took him seriously and I've known people who thought he was intelligent which immediately made me question their judgement on everything.
I love how everything Donnie does is a 4D strategy "to distract us" from the last shitty thing he did. No, it's not a distraction, he's just a piece of shit.
Why not both?
That's basically the Republican playbook, in general:
Focus all your messaging on "wedge issues" that appeal to your (prejudiced) base, then pass laws that enrich the wealthy at the cost of their base. Deflect. Blame others. Distract. Lie. It's all distraction, and it's all vile.
I reject your false dichotomy. It's also not 4D chess; it's business-as-usual Conservative politics, and the Republicans are some of the best in the world at it because they now own most of the traditional media and the tech platforms used by "influencers" and most alt media.
We get it, POTUS. You are a racist POS. Now how about the kids in concentration camps with shitty food and no health care or education.
yeah, kinda curious what was in the other 49 tweets he made that hour that might've needed distracting from.
I'd bet a loony it's part of a larger attempt at provoking some kind of agressive response from the population so he can justify with his base to crank up the authoritarianism.
Haha, they're black, like monkeys!
Fuck, we haven't really progressed all that much as a spieces, have we?
Racism is a cancer that must be wiped out
I agree but it won't happen. It's interwoven deep with Tribalism. And unfortunately Tribalism is interlinked with culture... The human species is fatally flawed. Perhaps our tiny monkey brains aren't up to the task physically. Let us all go extinct I say.
No we just need to evolve. Lucky for us, that's a process that never stops. Our job is to guide evolution in the right direction.
USA is not a serious country. What an absolute shit hole.
the plausible deniability is getting thinner and thinner - this time it was that the whole video was jungle themed, so obviously it had nothing to do with racism!
And nothing will be done about it
