The guy who posted the "Obamas as apes" thing also called for the execution of 5 innocent Black men

I'm seeing a LOT of reactions to Trump's little stunt, and my response to my friends has been "HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS GUY."

TV producer Mark Burnette INVENTED the "Apprentice" character and left out the part about Trump cheating on all of his wives, running casinos into the ground, six bankruptcies, paying off New York for marking "C" for "COLORED" on apartment applications from Black renters, ran a full page ad in the NYT calling for the execution of the Central Park Five, who were innocent, raping E Jean Carroll and being accused of sexual assault by 26 other women, siphoning off money into his own pockets from his "charity," before it was shut down, ran a fraudulent "university" before it was shut down, on and on and on and on...Burnette polished that turd until it turned into ratings gold.

So I'm as pissed off as anyone that Trump posted that filth, but THIS IS WHO HE HAS BEEN FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

I think part of the challenge the public is having with processing this is not knowing or DENYING that THIS IS WHO TRUMP IS. THIS is the man that America elected (not taking into account how Musk may have "helped" with that).
