Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?
Trump: No. I looked at it. I didnt see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.

(22,263 posts)I guess Trump is way past the point of caring about whether anyone is going to "fact check" him. Yeah...I'm sure Schumer is JUST LIKE JOHN ROBERTS, telling Trump "Do whatever makes YOU feel good."

The Lion King has no apes in it.
Miles Archer
(22,263 posts)...Obama, trolling him to his face, over his bullshit racist "birther" nonsense, showing a clip of The Lion King while saying "Here's an actual clip of my birth ceremony."
I'm one of those people who believes that if it wasn't the sole reason, that dinner was a major contributing factor in Trump's decision to run and "seek revenge" against Obama's remarks that evening.

. POTUS in 2016. Putin had all kinds of Kompromat on him. Epstein had been providing Putin
that Kompromat by then and Putin got Trump on video watching 2 Russian Prostitutes having a
water sports show in Donnys hotel room.

. fuckers who are such dip shits that they think that Dr. Fauci is responsible for COVID 19 disease
because he paid a Chinese lab in Wuhan to produce the virus even though molecular geneticists who
are called evolutionary biologists traced the virus back to the wet markets in Wuhan using genomic
technology. However just like 2024 in 2016 Hillary got a big undervote where people showed up to
vote but just decided to skip voting for President. But that 35% of mouth breathers let the Republicans
and the powers that be along with using the electoral college to steal the Presidency.
If Hillary had her rightfully won Presidency C-19 would not have been anywhere near as bad as
it was.
Walleye
(44,074 posts)They believe that most of their fellow Americans are liars and cheats, because thats what they are. And if Hillary had won, we wouldnt be wholly owned by Russia now
Botany
(76,727 posts)The illegal immigrants are voting is just as stupid ask people saying that Dr. Fauci is responsible for
COVID
. You cant vote unless you are an American Citizen and if you came into America illegally
you cant become a LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN to vote.

(76,727 posts)information machine and family, friends, co workers, and billions of dollars supporting those lies. In
Germany in 1862 it was proven that the more CO 2 you have in a body of gas the more heat that body
gas will hold and that has never been disproven one time but millions of Americans say that climate
change is a liberal hoax.

(22,263 posts)"...Make America WHITE Again," and the LONG-FORM version of that is "Make America White Again After Eight Years Of A Black Man In The White House."
Melania had the Michelle Obama bathroom gutted and completely rebuilt because she could not stand the idea of her regal ass sitting on the same commode as a Black woman.

So not looking at what you post prevents a mistake, apparently.
What a putz.

There is only one possible interpretation.

(25,530 posts)Clearly this question has been on more minds than mine, as when I went to google it, and typed
"were there"
in the search bar, it instantly auto-completed a selection list to several variations of
"were there apes in The Lion King?"
Apparently Google's AI doesn't think so, also noting that Rafiki is modeled from a mandrill rather than a baboon as I had previously erroneously surmised.
Anyway, "take off The Lion King" looks like it's just another rather obvious racist trumplie.
Next question: will our intrepid WH press corps(e), the top ambassadors from our beloved 4th estate, raise this as a natural follow up?

(53,003 posts)We're just supposed to ignore that "monkey" is an anti-Black racial slur.
And then we get to The Lion King II. In the first ten minutes, Trump is captured, taken to a courtroom and sentenced to be thrown naked to the lions in the Bronx Zoo. Which they do. The next day, Trump is still alive, and running around the lion enclosure naked and terrified with his inch -long pecker waving in the breeze while the lions are curled up in the middle of the enclosure, sleeping on their backs. The zookeeper calls the alpha male to the fence line.
"Why haven't you eaten him?"
"Do you think we're dumb enough to eat...that? You want rid of him, YOU do it!"

(26,448 posts)Your racism which started more like a dog whistle to the general public (though some in NYC knew how you, and your father had anti-Black renters policies); became louder and louder to fog horn and air raid siren levels.
