Trump posts a doctored photo of the Obamas and Air Force One with graffiti spray-painted on plane
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a falsified image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, waving before boarding an Air Force One that had been spray-painted with graffiti.
It came months after another racist post by the president that showed the couple as primates in a jungle. That one was deleted after stiff, bipartisan backlash.
The latest image shows the Obamas smiling and waving at the top of stairs alongside a baby blue and white presidential plane with graffiti painted on it that included the Democrats campaign slogan Yes We Can, Obama and BLM, short for Black Lives Matter. The post also shows graffiti in Arabic on the plane that says the phrase alhamdulillah, which means praise be to God or thank God.
The use of graffiti is a coded message to remind people of crime and urban decay and has been used in racist messaging against Black people in the past.

His account, his trolling.

(30,319 posts)You don't think I was making excuses for him, do you? Just stating that many of his most of overtly delusional posts come at her behest. Of course Trump is a racist troll POS. It's still true that Natalie Harp was the force behind his Obamas as apes and the
Trump-Jesus posts. She has permission to troll on Trump's behalf. What's your beef with my post, exactly?

(39,501 posts)But that's what I'm seeing now when he posts his trolling bullshit - the readymade deflection of Natalie Harp is right where everyone's mind goes.
