President Donald Trump reshared a social media message that called former First Lady Michelle Obama a complete racist. The matter caused intense backlash as it comes just days after he shared a racist post on Truth Social where he posted images of both Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
The latest ordeal had him reposting a message that was put out by activist Laura Loomer that labeled the former First Lady as an anti-White racist. This is a move that came just days after his own account on social media posted an even more deeply offensive video showing Michelle and her husband Barack as a historically racist trope.
The President's repost also had him slamming another Black public figure, Susan Rice, urging Netflix to fire her from its board.
This action arose amid Trump's bigger political battles and has drawn major criticism. So many lawmakers, including some Republicans, condemned the president's past behavior and urged accountability, which he refused to take. Instead, the White House shifted the blame to another junior White House staffer.
The sequence of posts has intensified over time and led to many questioning Trump's behavior, especially as the head of state of the USA.
Critics argued that such behavior does nothing but harm and creates division, urging the president to think before he acts.
