Trump's desperation has become racist.

In his desperate moves to change the subject from the Epstein files, Donald Trump has resorted to posting the most outrageous and racist posts on his TS that we have ever seen.

He has been pulling out all his sneaky and manipulative tricks to get people to talk about something else instead of Jeffrey Epstein.

He sent Tulsi Gabbard into Fulton County, Georgia and confiscated all their ballots that were warehoused from the 2020 election. Surely that would get people to talk about something else?

Then he said that the Republicans should "nationalize" the elections, especially in about 15 places where "cheating and stealing" are taking place. Quite controversial but not enough to remove the Epstein emails from the top line.

Then, he says he has sued the IRS for $10 billion dollars and that it has already been settled. His Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent admitted to Congress that the taxpayers were on the hook for the $10 billion. That would only amount to about $330.00 per person that they could deduct from their expected refunds. I'm sure the American people would like nothing better than to give Donald Trump $330 dollars of their hard-earned money? But, it would be much higher than that because everyone does not pay income taxes. But, what better cause than to help the needy?

Then, last night, he posted the most racist post ever - with a video. It was doctored to make Michelle and Barack look like apes. It was the most disgusting thing we could ever imagine an American president doing. But, he did it!

He is desperate to change the subject from the Epstein files. It must be something terrible ??

I woke and sat up in bed, with a jolt. Having dreamt of my Maple tree exploding into a fire. I have not been that scared from a dream since 12/9/2000, and the dream then was prophetic. I can't prove anything about my dream. But, we all know what happened a few hours later.

I am and have been fascinated, and curious too (since 2000) but, now I'm a little fearful too.

How will this end?

It was 3 days before the Supreme Court gave the presidency to bush. In the dream, I saw VPOTUS, Gore and talked to him telling him that I was sorry he lost, he shook his head and said "he will be fine and that he can work on his passions anyway" (Paraphrasing) then he walked to the other side of the room, in white patent leather Pat Boone style shoes.

Way more to the dream. but that is the gist of it. go ahead and laugh, I did, until three days later, when the Supreme Court stole the election from VP Gore. And I kept having other dreams during the first year.

I'm asking you to not mock me, please.

edited to add, I don't know what will happen, but I feel, things will turn out good for us. And it seems like Renee Good, started revolution, in a way.

His racism, coupled with the slavery artifact in the US Constitution known as the electoral college is the reason he is now in a position to destroy what was once the world's strongest nation.

American racism has always been the cancer cells that have grown into massive, terminal tumors that will kill the country.

He's emboldened. He's empowered. He's riding the crest of the very widespread AmeriKKKan hate. He has the backing of the wealthy, privileged and powerful AmeriKKKan elite. And no one is going to do anything but bitch and moan.

Remember, we have at least three more years of this to come.

32. Distraction
Fri Feb 6, 2026, 12:34 PM

There once was a fellow quite vexed
By documents awkwardly indexed.
So he coughed and he spluttered,
Prevaricated, muttered—
And hoped we’d all look to the next.

When whispers of Epstein rang loud,
He posted to rile up the crowd.
With outrage designed
To distract and misdirect the mind,
He hoped the old headlines might be cowed.

To Georgia a messenger sped,
With stories that raised every head.
Ballots, warehouses, claims—
A confusion of aims—
Yet the files stayed annoyingly read.

“Let’s nationalize!” he declared,
“Where elections are crooked and bared.”
It was bold, it was stark,
Lit a serious spark—
Still the subject he wanted was spared.

But last came a post, cruel and vile,
So ugly it froze every smile.
A line should be drawn
When humanity’s gone—
That stunt shocked the heart of the aisle.

So on spun the noise and the flame,
Each gambit more frantic in aim.
When someone works this hard
To keep one thing charred,
You wonder what truth feeds the shame.

When certain old names resurfaced,
His timeline grew noisily laced
With remarks so profound
They were hard to expound,
Yet subtlety wasn’t embraced.

To Georgia an envoy was sent,
With a mission not clearly meant.
Some ballots appeared,
Some eyebrows were reared—
Still the matter at hand wouldn’t relent.

“Elections,” he said, “need a tweak—
In a dozen odd places, unique.”
It was stated with flair,
Somewhat thin on the care,
And ignored by the files, rather cheeky.

Then billions were briskly discussed,
As though fiscal restraint were a must.
If the public must pay,
Well, what’s three hundred, eh?
A small price for a cause built on trust.

At last came a post most unwise,
That landed with collective sighs.
One might gently observe
It displayed little nerve—
And rather too much in the eyes.

So on went the dance and the din,
Each gambit more eager to win.
When one works this hard
To seem terribly scarred,
One wonders what’s lurking within.

34. MaddowBlog-White House tries to defend Trump amplifying a racist video targeting the Obamas
Fri Feb 6, 2026, 12:44 PM
23 hrs ago

After Karoline Leavitt tried to defend the latest example of the president’s routine racism, the White House stepped on her dreadful argument.

Trump amplifying another racist video got me thinking about the commitment he made to Black voters in his second inaugural — and how quickly he returned to the kind of gutter racism that helped fuel his political rise in the first place. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2026-02-06T16:01:29.577Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/white-house-tries-to-defend-trump-amplifying-a-racist-video-targeting-the-obamas

In the fall, for example, the Republican used the term “DEI” as a slur for minorities in blaming their involvement with the construction of Barack Obama’s presidential library. Soon after, the president, as part of an ugly anti-immigrant pitch, publicly referred to Somali Americans as “garbage” and revived his “s—hole countries” rhetoric.

The list, alas, continues to grow longer. The Associated Press reported:

President Donald Trump used his social media account to share a video about election conspiracy theories that includes a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle. […]

Nearly all of the 62-second clip, which was among dozens of Truth Social posts from Trump overnight, appears to be from a conservative video alleging deliberate tampering with voting machines in battleground states as the 2020 presidential votes were tallied. At the 60-second mark is a quick scene of two primates, with the Obamas’ smiling faces imposed on them
.


The fact that the Republican president didn’t make the video himself is hardly exculpatory: Trump saw the video and thought it’d be a good to idea to amplify it, just as he did in his first term when he promoted a video of a supporter wearing Trump campaign gear while shouting “white power!”...

Republican Sen. Tim Scott, who is Black, wrote online that he was praying the video “was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The South Carolinian, who’s currently chairing the National Republican Senatorial Committee, added: “The President should remove it.”....

Complicating matters, a few hours after Leavitt tried to defend the racist video, the White House changed its story, saying in a statement, “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.”

Evidently, the press secretary’s “fake outrage” line proved unsustainable.

In his second inaugural address, Trump said: “To the Black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote. We set records, and I will not forget it. I’ve heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.”

Like too many of Trump’s promises, he wasted little time in trashing this commitment and returning to the kind of gutter racism that helped fuel his political rise in the first place.

We can talk about his ballot THEFT in Fulton County, his J6 INSURRECTION, AND his RAPE of young girls with Epstein's complicity, along with all of his other offenses against America. This basturd should have been drummed out of office to a deserted island ten years ago; only a complicit, money-hungry media and a supine, ball-licking Congress has prevented it.

$330 to the the guy that always said he would release them but never did. We'd have a ton of good talking
points if the IRS paid him. Hope our congressmen are making sure he's not getting $10 billion under
