Now that Trump deleted the racist video that he didn't post, I'm glad that we cleared up he isn't racist

Wait...what's that I'm hearing? He's sending his goon squad that terrorizes communities of color to Springfield Ohio to round up Haitians who he said were eating pets?

An internet search looking for articles of large media outlets who have reported on the president posting a video depicting the Obamas as primates should leave you disgusted with large media outlets. There are a few who did stories, but not many. I guess nothing matters anymore.

Good to see a post from you here. Please do it more often

He's exhibited dementia for a long time
