Americans Sickened After Don Jr. Tweets Racist Meme Showing Trump Slapping Obama

UGH, here we go again.

The right loves to meme. It’s their “thing” and to be quite honest, they are very good at it. Just last week the Trump campaign tweeted a meme with Trump as the Star Wars character Yoda, and showed Trump/Yoda decapitating CNN and MSNBC. Not normal, but then again, nothing is anymore.

Now we have another meme that shows Trump slapping former President Barack Obama, and it has been spread far and wide, including by the president’s son Don Jr.

Here’s the video that was originally shared by prolific plagiarist Benny Johnson, who now works for Charlie Kirk’s organization Turning Point, after being fired from quite a few media companies for stealing other people’s words.

Joe Lockhart, the press secretary for the Clinton White House, pointed out that the meme is clearly racist and why:

Don Jr. posted it on Instagram and said he was excited to get to the bottom of the “coup”. He also retweeted Benny’s tweet.

Now mind you, Donald Trump doesn’t even know what Obamagate is, or what crime Obama is apparently guilty of committing.

When asked by a Washington Post reporter the day after his “OBAMAGATE” Mother’s Day tweet to name and explain the crime Obama committed and say whether the DOJ should prosecute the former president, Trump deflected.

“Obamagate. It’s been going on for a long time. It’s been going on from before I even got elected. … It’s a disgrace that it’s happened,” Trump said, predicting that more information would become public “over the coming weeks.”

The Washington Post reporter asked Trump again to name the crime Obama committed.

“You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours,” the president said.

The Trump slapping Obama meme is simply gross and beneath the dignity of the office of the Presidency. Not like that matters anymore though.
