Trump has deleted the Truth Social image of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
A White House official said that a "staffer erroneously made the post.”
Or the message is already out to the base.

NEW: Trump has deleted the racist video he posted depicting the Obamas as monkeys after the press secretary defended it saying it was not racist, just a meme depicting democrats as characters from the Lion King. So which is it?

When Leavitt was asked about it, she defended it & said there was nothing wrong with it.
Now after huge backlash they took it down & are blaming a staffer.
Because it’s always the staffers & advisors, never Trump himself. Even when it’s up on his personal account for 12 hours.

So their position is the president has virulently racist staffers who think the president shares their views, and who can post on his behalf without oversight? Great!

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

2/ Justice Kavanaugh's logic (in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo):
"If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."
Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Update: The White House has taken down the post and now claims a “staffer erroneously made the post” that was shared on President Donald Trump’s social media platform late Thursday night. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed earlier that the criticisms amounted to "fake outrage."

Wow — Carlos caught DHS/Noem using a guy who never lived in 🇺🇸 to show how many “worst of the worst” they’ve arrested.
He was arrested in Colombia in 2019.
How many others have they done this with? 🤥
The lies are endless. Nobody should believe a word they say.
