  4. "Leavitt made the startling admission during a press briefing on Wednesday in response to a question about a message Trump had posted moments earlier on the social media site where he criticized plans for a U.K. land deal."

  5. "Just weeks after the White House — and the president himself — blamed a staffer for a blatantly racist post that appeared on his Truth Social account, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured reporters that anything on Trump’s social media site is 'straight from the horse’s mouth.'”

    ~ Andrew Feinberg

  6. #Trump privately lashed out at #Republican lawmakers who publicly condemned a racist video that depicted the #Obamas as apes, questioning their loyalty and reportedly vowing political consequences. Trump was particularly angry with Sen. Scott and Sen. Britt for criticizing the post, though both maintain strong support for the president, and the White House insists Trump remains the party’s leader

  7. "When Republicans are criticizing the president, when the media calls him a racist, when his polls are dropping and then dropping again, it’s a lot easier to see that fighting Trump on everything, all the time, is the best strategy politically and for the country."

  8. "Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide."

  9. "For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism."

  10. "You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. Racism, among other things, is a kind of chauvinism, a belief in one’s inherent superiority, based on nothing other than a meaningless accident of birth. It’s an ideology that papers over feelings of inadequacy, that tells you that — no matter what you have or have not accomplished in your life — you’re still better than someone, some group."

  11. Jamelle Bouie asks what motivates Trump:

    "The best way to understand the president’s motivations is to find him at his most unfiltered, which is to say, on social media, late at night. And Thursday night, Trump posted a video to his Truth Social account that depicted President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. …

    What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism."

    "all while continuing his rampages against the Constitution, our allies, public health, and the security, safety, and economic vitality of our communities.

    We have never seen in a president such a toxic mixture of petulance, pettiness, puerility, and perversity."

  13. "In truth, [Trump] would fail even the lowest bar for any role of significance or power in a fair, decent, and just society.

    Consider just the last few news cycles: reposting a racist video likening the Obamas to apes; shaking down a vital transit project in his old hometown of New York unless he gets his gilded name on a train station or an airport;" (continued in /21)

    ‘I Didn’t Make a Mistake’∶ #Trump Refuses to Apologize for #Racist Video of #Obamas

  15. "Common sense tells us that elite leaders, particularly someone hold the office of the president of the United States, influence their followers’ attitudes. Recently published research shows that Trump’s ability to degrade his white supporters’ moral sensibilities is real and measurable (h/t to Andrew Whitehead for pointing me to this research)."

  16. "In a rare capitulation, Trump did remove the post, but he refused to apologize for posting it. Such an act—especially during the opening days of Black History Month—would be a career-ending move for a political leader of any party in a more humane era of American politics. Trump has shrugged it off, but I argue that we should register this as another bright line being crossed, one with knowable chilling implications."

  17. "Many tens of millions of Americans not only voted twice to put this man in the White House, but also continue to support him with great fervor, underscoring the motivating power of racism and the need to scapegoat others."

  19. "1. It was not an accident.
    2. It was not a staffer.
    3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
    4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
    5. His base agrees with him.
    6. He will do it again.
    7. No one in power will hold him accountable."

  20. "On Air Force One yesterday Trump was asked about the video he posted of the Obamas, and whether he would apologize. Watch. No apology. Incoherent dribble. Extraordinary malevolence."

  21. "But while Trump’s racist video should impact his presidency, it won’t, will it? This is, after all, a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator we are talking about. A man who appears to be successfully shrugging off his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, a child rapist. Give it a few days and nobody will remember this story. ...

    It’s not just democracy that is dying in the US right now; it is common decency."

  22. "I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but for the benefit of press secretary Leavitt, I’m going to spell it out: Trump’s stupid memes and social media posts matter. They matter because the president helps set the parameters of acceptable discourse. They matter because his bigotry emboldens others. Most of all, they matter because they reflect his policies."

  23. "The deafening silence of the Republican Party only emboldens him, pushing him toward ever more overt racism, anti-trans hatred, anti-immigrant cruelty, misogyny, and Islamophobia. Donald is the problem because he has the platform. He is the one whose rhetoric, memes, GIFs, and posts can get people killed."

  24. "Donald and others in the Trump Regime have repeatedly leaned into white supremacist imagery and messaging. What was once coded is now increasingly overt.

    This was not an accident. This was Donald telling us exactly who he is. And as the adage goes, when someone shows you who they are, believe them."

  25. "What matters to the American public, Karoline Leavitt, is the fact that the President of the United States of America is an unrepentant, unreconstructed racist who is endangering lives with his blatant racist rants. Obviously, it did matter to someone, because the post was deleted, proving that the outrage was warranted.

    This is not an isolated incident, but rather a slice of a broader pattern that has become impossible to ignore."

  26. Mary Trump replies to Karoline Leavitt of the ostentatious cross and "smug inhumanity," who attempted to gaslight those appalled at Trump's vile racist attack on the Obamas by saying we should focus on what "actually matters" and dispense with "fake outrage."

  27. "They'll say, well, you know, it's just meme culture. It's edgy humor. I think that's how J.D. Vance likes to put it."

    Robert P. Jones responds:

    "All of that is right out of the KKK white supremacist playbook. That is what, and that's the hymnal that the president of the United States is singing from the during Black History Month."
