Watch: Trump Starts Screaming Insane Sh*t after Shock Video Posted! - Luke Beasley



Here are the key points from the video:

• Trump reposted a racist image depicting the Obamas as apes on Truth Social, which he later deleted after backlash from both critics and some Republican lawmakers like Senator Tim Scott

• Contradictory defenses emerged from Trump supporters - first claiming it was fake, then saying it wasn't racist, then blaming a staffer, while Trump himself refused to apologize and claimed he "didn't make a mistake"

• "I have a black friend" defense - Multiple Trump defenders cited his appearance with Nicki Minaj and support from black voters as proof he couldn't be racist, which the host criticizes as a classic fallacious argument

• Trump repeated his claim of being "the least racist president you've had in a long time" - a statement the host argues people only make when defending against credible accusations

• Historical context mentioned - The video references Trump's history with race-related controversies, including his birther campaign against Obama that launched his political career

• Broader concerns raised - The host argues this incident distracts from more consequential policy issues and notes Trump's FCC investigation into ABC's "The View" as part of his campaign against media critics

Hours after refusing to apologize for a racist video posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump hadn’t let go.

He spent last weekend complaining to allies about Republicans who had condemned the video depicting the Obamas as apes, questioning the lawmakers’ loyalty and vowing consequences, sources familiar with his comments told CNN.

The president railed against South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott — the sole Black Republican senator and chair of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm — throughout the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, arguing one of his top congressional allies was out of line to call his White House racist, the sources said.

“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN of Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”

Trump had even stronger words for Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, one of the sources recalled, using expletives to denounce her and declaring that she was dead to him.

Britt’s office slammed that account as “fake news” and touted her strong working relationship with the president, while the White House praised her as “an incredible ally” whom the president has “great respect” for. Scott’s office declined to comment.
