Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?

Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.

Reporter: Are you going to apologize?

Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was a take off The Lion King.

1. Liar................

[Walleye]

2. So you re-tweeted something that that you hadn't even looked at the whole thing. That's a huge mistake.

Apologize now, idiot, your dick won’t fall off

[Miles Archer]

5. It's his equivalent of Congressional Republicans claiming "I DIDN'T SEE THE PRESIDENT'S POST."

Their normal knee-jerk reaction, used often by MAGAt Moses Mikey Johnson.

The Sgt Schultz defense: "I know NOTHING! I see NOTHING!"

[calguy]

6. It wasn't a mistake.

He did it intentionally and lies about when it backfired in his face, like he always does.

[Walleye]

21. He doesn't care because he made his racist fans feel good

[calguy]

28. That's a fact.

[Talitha]

18. He saw the whole thing.

Make no mistake.

[Walleye]

22. Absolutely and probably laughed. I don't believe a word that comes out of his filthy mouth.

We know his low class taste has been on display. This is the kind of thing he likes.

[eShirl]

3. "It wasn't a mistake." (equals sign) "I meant to do that."

Yes. Yes, we know.

[Solly Mack]

4. If by not a mistake he means it was intentional then OK.

Because it was intentional and he is comfortable with the racism because he is a racist.

[dalton99a]

7. Shut The Fuck Up, Piggy

[orangecrush]

8. Fuck you, Piggy

[B.See]

9. right... and Schumer told him to

put his name on everything. "I don't know nuthin.'

Y'know, if you're going to be a ratfk, at least be a ratfk with some SPINE.

[Miles Archer]

12. My head's still spinning over Trump's Schumer claim

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."

[Walleye]

23. Most of his lies are outlandish. I don't know why anybody ever believes them or repeats them.

[B.See]

37. ... more like

out of his arse. ...a raving racist lunatic ratfk and rapist... soiling America from the Oval office while pocketing billions. America's punishment, for abiding this kind of evil. teaches US to let a cancer linger, does it not?

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. More Cohen shining through...NEVER admit a mistake.

[Botany]

11. Any point in posting that Trump is lying?

The Lion King has no apes in it.

@ no point was voter fraud ever brought up after his racist post showing blacks as apes.

[Miles Archer]

13. Maybe it's Trump's idea of "payback" for the White House Correspondents Dinner...

...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.

[Botany]

14. Trump was told by Putin during his 2013 visit to Russia for his beauty pageant that he will run for. ....

…. 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 Donny’s hotel room.

[Walleye]

24. And Putin hates Hillary, with her clear-eyed foreign policy

Just makes me sick. How many Americans fell for this shit

[Emile]

15. Taking personal responsibility is not in his DNA.

He plays that victim bullshit with every breath he takes. The weirdos that voted for him eat that shit up, and believe it too.

[Doodley]

16. He posted it to shore up his support with the racist MAGA base. The racism is what they love about him.

[Miles Archer]

17. "Make America Great Again" has ALWAYS been a DOG WHISTLE for...

"...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.

[Swede]

19. When he uses the word "riggers" when talking about voter fraud, over and over again, they know what he means to say.

nt

[GoodRaisin]

20. He's the Lyin' King alright.

[Ping Tung]

25. Suuure. And the dog ate the script.

Note: The dog is being sent to Noem for further discipline.

[Aviation Pro]

26. Fuck you, pedophile

That is all.

[Johonny]

27. 95 percent of the video is about voter fraud

Made up bullshit fantasies about voter fraud at that.

[RockRaven]

29. "I didn't make a mistake" is a sign this is an evergreen thing to poke at him with.

He's dug in, but clearly in the wrong, so keep poking. His reactions will only get more ridiculous.

[Liberal In Texas]

30. "I didn't see the whole thing" Well, that's OK then!

So you're saying, Donnie, you post crap without even looking at it.
So not looking at what you post prevents a mistake, apparently.
What a putz.

[3catwoman3]

31. It doesn't really matter who sent it. If it was done by a staffer, that staffer knew full well...

...that TSF would be in complete agreement with the content and meaning.

[3catwoman3]

32. And then there's this weak sauce BS from Senator Cassidy -

""Thank you to President Trump for taking down the post about the Obamas," wrote Cassidy on X. "He made significant inroads with his outreach in the African American community which we need to continue. His post sent the wrong message despite how it may have been originally intended."

There is only one possible interpretation.

[Vinca]

33. "And any videos of me with young girls is just a clip from a new film about Heidi."

[no_hypocrisy]

34. More like "Scar's Revenge" than "The Lion King".

[canetoad]

35. This proves

How deep the burn is from Obama's 2011 WHCA dinner routine.

[0rganism]

36. I recall no ape characters in the original Lion King movie. Am I wrong?

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?

[bdamomma]

39. What a fucking

liar!!! Roy Cohn taught this POS well. Never back down, never apologize

He's a CRIMINAL THUG, and a rapist, and a PEDO.
