Those famous political instincts of his sure are hit and miss.

To be honest, I thought he'd be too busy moving on from Epstein History Month to get overly concerned with BHM.

Trump deletes his Truth Social post:

US President Donald Trump has removed a social media video which included a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

…. Republican Senator Tim Scott - who is black - called for the president to remove the post, describing it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House".

The White House initially defended the clip as an "internet meme video" and told critics to "stop the fake outrage".

I hope this time that Trumpigula’s impulsive self inflicted damage is permanent.

Bill Maher: Trump shared a video depicting the Obamas as apes. In his defense, he didn't mean to hit "share." He just meant to hit "like."

The real question is what he was trying to draw attention away from.

Now Trump says he doesn't know how the video got posted. So maybe Bill Maher was on to something.

That leads to the truly horrifying thought that maybe Trump doesn't write his own Tweets. He might actually be paying somebody to post this gibberish?

Regardless, he owns it. “Not my fault” just doesn’t cut it.

Today marks the last day of 2026's Black History Month. As we bring this year's celebration of Black History to a close, I'd like to remind all of you that you're probably racist, and racism is wrong.

[Renauda]

If you say so.

But if you really want to put an end to American racism, take Morgan Freeman’s advice from 20 or more years ago, and “stop talking about it”.

[Mik]

It was, and is, very good advice. Awareness has been established. Now it’s up to each individual.
