Are we going to treat the Obamas-as-apes clip our president posted last night (during Black History Month) as “normal?” I want horrified leaders to stop what they’re doing. I want all black White House staff to walk out en masse. I want CONSEQUENCES. If none appear, we have already lost everything.
If every Republican elected official does not condemn the truth social post of Trump they should be seen as likewise racist sacks of shit and will be shunned in history.

Still nothing on BBC News homepage about That Trump Post. But good to know Gruffalo story bumped for Graham Norton appearing in a Taylor Swift vid.
