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.”

      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?

        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.

        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 … 🤷

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