Trump 2.0's Most Racist Moments, Ranked

AFTER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP POSTED a video on Thursday depicting former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as apes, a few Republicans joined in the widespread criticism of the post’s racism and urged its deletion. Among the first Republicans to call it out was Sen. Tim Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and one of only a handful of black Republicans in Congress. In a tweet on Friday morning, Scott said he was “praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

Which raises a question: If this post was the most racist thing Scott has seen from this White House, what were the other racist things in contention for that title? It turns out there’s a fair bit from which to choose in that category. Here’s a top ten list of racist words and deeds from Trump and his administration since his return to office in January 2025.
