Trump Mocks the Obamas and Democrats But Ignores that it is Black History Month

  • Video compilation of memes depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys or apes, framing it as evidence of Donald Trump's racism, directly referencing a fresh incident where Trump reposted similar content on Truth Social before deleting it amid backlash.
  • The video highlights a real event from February 5, 2026, when President Trump shared a clip invoking racist tropes historically used to dehumanize Black people, with the White House attributing it to a "staff error" during Black History Month; this echoes Trump's 2013 retweet of an Obama-monkey image, per archived records from Politifact.
  • Replies to post reveal polarized views, with defenders calling it humorous or non-racist while critics link it to broader MAGA rhetoric, underscoring ongoing debates on intent versus impact in political media sharing, as analyzed in a 2023 Pew Research study on social media polarization.
