Ok?
Is ANYBODY surprised with this?
Donald , who says he’s NOT a Rcaist gets pissed at his fellow party lawmakers for knocking his RACIST Remarks?
The guy HAS been running on this shit for YEARS…
And targeting ex-President Obama this time and his wife….
See Obama response below….
President Donald Trump last weekend privately lambasted two Republican lawmakers for condemning the racist video he shared that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, sources familiar with his comments told CNN.
Trump removed the video amid condemnation from Democrats and Republicans alike, but refused to apologize for sharing it. Instead, he reportedly seethed about criticism from Sens. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
Scott, who is the only Black Republican senator, had written on X, “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”
“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN about the president’s issue with Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”
The president reportedly had far harsher words for Britt, claiming during an expletive-laden tirade that she was dead to him, one of the sources recalled to CNN. Her office told the outlet Friday that this is “fake news” and extolled her working relationship with Trump.
The White House later told CNN that Trump has “great respect” for Britt, calling her an “incredibly ally.”
..Trump has shared racist comments and content before, but the video depicting his predecessor as a chimpanzee and the former first lady as a gorilla crossed the line for multiple GOP lawmakers. The White House later said it was accidentally shared by an unnamed staffer, and Trump told reporters he hadn’t even seen the video’s racist portion.
“I didn’t make a mistake,” he said last week. “I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”…

Obama pushes back on White House rhetoric, ape video: Decorum has ‘been lost’
Former President Obama argued in an interview published Saturday that American politics has become a “clown show” under the second Trump administration, suggesting that many Americans dislike the rhetoric coming out of the White House in recent months.
Obama made the comparison while addressing a controversial video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account earlier this month that briefly depicted the former president and his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, as apes.
Trump has refused to apologize for the video despite strong bipartisan backlash. Instead, the White House blamed a staffer for “erroneously” making the post, and it was taken down.
“I think it’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama told host Brian Tyler Cohen on his “No Lie” podcast.
Cohen had asked how the country could bounce back from what he described as the “de-evolution of discourse,” pointing to the video and administration officials’ labeling of two U.S. citizens who were fatally shot during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis as “domestic terrorists” as examples….
