Here we go again. Facing backlash for his unhinged behavior and low approval ratings for the miserable job he has done in his first year back in office, Trump is once again applying classic "divide and conquer" tactics.
On his Truth Social account, King Con Don depicted the Obamas as apes. It was quite transparently racist and not okay. Even some Republicans voiced rare criticism.
Robert Reich almost always makes solid points. He did so again about this latest absurdity from the Trump White House. And while he might not be surprised any longer, Reich urges us not to turn a blind eye, or too quickly or easily dismiss this as yet another example of Trump's ugly and divisive and often racist behavior. Reich says:
It was disgusting and abhorrent, and sadly not at all surprising. We must not become numb to his racism — it drives much of the cruelty and chaos this regime is inflicting on the entire country.
