Trump: "I didn't see the whole thing. I'm not apologizing. I didn't make a mistake. It was a take off The Lion King."

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.

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

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!"

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

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

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."

The Lion King has no apes in it.

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

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.

…. 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.
