There could have been a nearly infinite number of better ways to depict that, if that’s what he’s saying. Instead he knowingly used imagery that gives the opposition, who have been screaming RACIST!!! for the past decade, shiploads of ammo and leaves his non-racist supporters blowing in the wind trying to “defend” something that is good and truly indefensible in modern times. “He depicted the black president and his wife as apes…because he’s telling us all they are scumbags!” Come on. We all know that’s not gonna cut it.
All that said I know he almost always has a twist and a turnaround to be revealed and I’m waiting for it, and I know to never trust first appearances when he throws crazy shit out there, but this one has currently put us between a rock and a hard place.
By and large, i don’t. However, I have liberal close loved ones who I have assured will see through his actions that Trump is neither a fascist dictator nor a racist. I constantly have to “explain” how and why the media narratives are deceptive smear jobs aimed at creating this perception. It’s exhausting as they never stop. Him posting the Obamas depicted as APES did NOT help. I lost some serious face today and I’m pissed about it.
That's my thinking. I know even conservative Christians being sucked into this who otherwise love Trump. Wasn't there info about someone else in his office posting that? It was such a stupid thing to even get close to that I just can't believe that he really did it. He's way too clever for that. We need to be able to get past this. The timing is too convenient for the Left.
Click bait, that's hilldog
Shhhh they might not notice.
All apes look alike to them.
They are loosing their minds, over on fb!

A significant number of people on this forum call themselves “apes”.
“Ape” or “gorilla” in and of itself is nothing but an insult. In our case, we adopted it for that very reason.
The idea that it’s inherently racist to depict someone as an ape is just them being deliberately obtuse retards.
Good luck convincing rabid TDSers with that line of logic. Might as well piss into the wind.
“Logic” is just a construct of the patriarchy.
Their game is to call everything racist until we capitulate, whether it is or not, whether they actually think it is or not.
Screw em.
Perhaps it's time to stop caring what rabid TDSers think?

Are we sure that indeed, President Trump posted that? It could be a false flag.

As I recall in the original meme, Joe Biden was also portrayed as an ape.
I’ll have to find that one!
Bush Jr was portrayed as a chimp across all left wing media (but I repeat myself).
“That’s not racist, though.”
