Donald Trump on Sunday posted a falsified image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, waving before boarding an Air Force One that had been spray-painted with graffiti.

It came months after another racist post by the president that showed the couple as primates in a jungle. That one was deleted after stiff, bipartisan backlash.

The latest image shows the Obamas smiling and waving at the top of stairs alongside a baby blue and white presidential plane with graffiti painted on it that included the Democrat’s campaign slogan “Yes We Can,” “Obama” and “BLM,” short for Black Lives Matter. The post also shows graffiti in Arabic on the plane that says the phrase “alhamdulillah,” which means “praise be to God” or “thank God.”

What a piece of shit.

This is still not as bad as when he sold children at sex slaves auctions according to the Epstein files.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 17 points 19 hours ago

Dear lord Obama truly does live rent free in his head. And we know stuff like this only gets posted when he finally loses, what little, self control he has, so I can only imagine what else he keeps thinking and how often. He seriously is tortured by it (and I love that thought at least)

[-] mrmisses@fedinsfw.app 43 points 22 hours ago

He also raped kids

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 23 points 20 hours ago

"President of the United States posts some racist bullshit, Epstein files still not fully released"

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Obama derangement syndrome.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Ah, Donvict is really focused on the People's business, I guess.

This asshole will just never get over being much weaker than Obama, being made fun of by Obama, and also losing to Biden.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 38 points 23 hours ago

Wouldn't have let the Obamas pay for an apartment in Trump Tower and yet he allows them to live rent-free in his head forever. Art of the deal?

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago

Obama claims to have a rent-free suite in Trump's head. There's certainly plenty of empty space in there.

Why are the photos always missing in that kind of news? You would think the picture itself is the most important part.

Here is the shitty picture, wow, I am a journalist: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116869344661233645

[-] Janx@piefed.social 40 points 22 hours ago

We really shouldn't link directly to that cesspit of racists and pedophiles...

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago

Don't want to encourage slopagation.

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 19 points 23 hours ago

Then what is the point of talking about it? Trump did something shitty once again but we won't show you, only describe it in vague terms?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 28 points 22 hours ago

I completely agree with you here. Except that I’d rather not visit truth social to view the image.

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 46 points 22 hours ago
[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Thank you for posting it, I wasn't going to go to Truth social to find out. That said. Meh. What an uncreative slop image befitting of the current administration.

Honestly, an airplane decked out in real graffiti art would look sick as fuck.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

How dare you post such a vile photo. Mods! Smack his nuts!

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

What if I'm into that?!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Probably the best option is having a low-res copy of it on another site. Sending traffic to Lie Social is probably not ideal.

For some reason, I thought libredirect handled Lie Social but I don't seem to see it...it seems like it would be one of the first sites people would want to handle, but .... 🤷

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

There will always be a point in calling out racist billionaire pedophiles. And there will never be a good reason to link to their fascist websites.

[-] Dotdashdot@feddit.uk 5 points 19 hours ago

I like that the garbage isn’t shared repeatedly. Don’t need to see that trash and throttling its reach is the right thing to do.

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

I'm genuinely shocked and impressed that this seems to be traditional photo manipulation and not AI.

[-] Janx@piefed.social 15 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Nothing he does should shock us, since he gets away with it all, but it's a fake image of POC President Obama and his wife next to Air Force One with graffiti and Arabic on it... That's straight-up racist and should be called-out as such. But I guess what should we expect from the man who last depicted them as monkeys. At least Obama didn't rape kids with Epstein...

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 12 points 21 hours ago

He's a fucking child. Anyone who thought there was even the remote potential of him being a good president is an absolute fucking moron.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

Still better than the (likely) listening device-packed bribe plane from Qatar

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 7 points 19 hours ago

I can’t fucking wait until the adults are in charge again. 🤦‍♀️

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I cannot wait to see the headline that Trump is dead. Very preferably, painfully suffering up until his death.

[-] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

With the crazy gerrymandering and a widening political divide where no compromise can be seen, I don't know if it will happen.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 17 hours ago

No time for depositions but unlimited time for racist shitposting.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 22 hours ago

This is what would happen if middle-schoolers took over the country.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Conservatives, AKA, the baby-word "maga" are basically all people that peaked in high school, so that tracks.

[-] Monument@piefed.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Trump implies Obama is unpresidential using the least presidential methods possible.

It would be amusing, were it not for the fact that it’s actually happening.
This is real life. There is no one coming to save us but ourselves.

[-] Blibly@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

That's the type of dumb shit my gramps would have found hilarious. He's gone now, Trump should join him.
