FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2026
Like gunshots on Fifth Avenue? The Truth Social post has been deleted. But you can still see it, just as it was, at the Wayback Machine.
With apologies—at Mediate, the original report started like this:
Trump Posts Video Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as Apes
President Donald Trump shared a 2020 election conspiracy video to Truth Social on Thursday night that briefly depicts former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.
And so on from there. It's in that report that we saw the link to the original Truth Social post.
By now, the original post has been deleted. First, though, and again with sorrow, the cosmos was offered this:
White House Shrugs Off ‘Fake Outrage’ Over Trump Post Depicting Obamas as Apes
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has dismissed criticism of President Donald Trump for having shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.
[...]
Responding on Friday, Leavitt defended the post in comment to PBS and said the controversial clip was from a meme that had depicted Trump as “King of the Jungle” over other lawmakers:
"This is from an Internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from ‘The Lion King.' Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."
How does a person get to be the way she was by the time she was just 25?
Trump’s s opponents are as fanatical as his supporters.He could prevent a shooting on Fifth Ave., and his opponents would blame him for doing so.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lie.
DeleteHow does your comment make sense in the context of what Trump posted?
DeleteDickhead in Cal has stated his purpose for coming here is to demonstrate that Trump and his supporters are not monsters. I’m still waiting for some proof
DeleteNobody likes Fox but they have first Ammendment rights like anyone else. What exactly does Somerby think can be done about them beyond not watching?
ReplyDeleteEveryone the King Chickenshit approves of. Certainty not Don Lemon.
Delete??
Deletethey have first Ammendment rights like anyone else.
DeleteNot everyone anymore.
DeleteWe have rights here in Congo! Come, come, Democrat lady! We'll give you all rights! Treat good, lady! Antifa! Come, lady, come!
Antifa is shorthand for anti-Republican Party.
Delete' Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Trump do something that actually matters to the American public, instead of incessantly spamming us with bizarre internet memes?
It's a rhetorical question, as by now everyone knows that Trump's mental faculties have markedly deteriorated.
Ilya -- Trump has done a lot of things of major importance to the American people. They may have slipped your mind because the media gives them less attention than they deserve
Delete-- closing the Southern border
-- Getting almost 3 million illegal immigrants out of the country by deporting them or persuading them to leave voluntarily
-- Switching civil service and much of the country to merit-based hiring and promotions.
-- Getting salaries to rise faster than inflation, so that people are wealthier
-- Getting Europe to pay for Ukraine's weapons, rather than the US
-- bringing peace to Gaza, at least for the time being
Dickhead of the Lists
DeleteStop cluttering the comments with these lists David.
DeleteThe American public has weighed in on their opinion of Trump, and lately it is not good. I trust them to accurately assess his impact on their lives.
DeleteHow does someone get to be like Caroline Leavitt in 25 years, Somerby asks. First, you are born to Republican parents. Second, you have the Mar a Lago look and blonde hair. Third you grow up thinking that if you're nice to rich old men, you will benefit financially. Life rewards women who go along to get along, just as it does men, but in a different fashion. Then Leavitt no doubt worked her connections -- networking is what they teach young people without actual skills. There are plenty of young women like Leavitt, so she also had to have the willingness to let herself be slobbered over ("those lips, like machine guns") and fondled, in the creepy way most women her age would reject. Beyond that, she is most likely told what to say, or she repeats what she hears said around her. It is sad that she feels she has to do her job in the way she does it, but it is ultimately her choice. How did Stephen Miller get warped into his contorted shape and why doesn't Somerby ask about him? For that matter, why is Somerby always chiding female and black and gay jounalists -- why is Anderson Cooper mentioned at all?
ReplyDelete"why is Somerby always chiding female and black and gay jounalists"
DeleteIs Gutfeld female, black, or gay?
Anderson Cooper is. Why single him out today?
DeleteImplying that Leavitt is bad because of "the way she was" is a cop-out. What aspect of Leavitt is Bob alluding to? Her ending support of the President? Every Press secretary does that. They have to.
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me most about her is the way she handles this big job at such a young age. With the added burden of raising three young children.
Leavitt earned her way up the Republican establishment ladder by doing all the things good Republican youth do. It explains why she is willing to tell lies for the President, as Somerby wondered. It also implies she is loaded with religious fervor:
Deletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoline_Leavitt
This is exactly how Republican worker bees are created. Her dad is a MAGA good ole' boy, she isn't overly educated and went to a second-rate college, then was indoctrinated into the party line in every job thereafter. And she looks like she came from central casting (as required by Trump).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoline_Leavitt
Why is Somerby incapable of using Google (or any other search engine)?
Yes, David. Who takes care of her three kids while she is nursing Trump?
DeleteDavid lied about her 3 kids:
Delete"As of early 2026, Karoline Leavitt has one son, Nicholas "Niko" Robert Riccio, born in July 2024. She announced in December 2025 that she is pregnant with her second child, a baby girl expected in May 2026. "
David lied about her 3 kids:
DeleteClassic
DeleteAbout that racist image of the Obamas. Trump said that some very important people told a white house aide to post them.
DeleteHere is some actual media criticism.

ReplyDelete"Trump Posts Video Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as Apes"
So? Is this politically incorrect, sacrilege in your BlueAnon cult?
You know, Bob, it's so incredibly easy to spare yourself from being exposed to politically incorrect content, tabooed by your cult. Repeat after me: do.not.read.Donald.Trump's.postings.on.social.networks.
That's all. Case closed.
Your continued support of a pedophile racist is precious. Posting racist content is not politically incorrect, it is deplorable, a word properly attached to clowns who consider it politically incorrect.
DeleteBe quiet piggy. Keep your retarded confessions to yourself.
DeleteThat video just goes to show that Trump is no more a stone cold racist than any other Right-winger.
DeleteBirds of a feather.
