United Daily News reported today: "The social media account of U.S. President Trump, Truth Social, released a video that implied former Democratic president Obama and former First Lady Michelle as monkeys, triggering strong criticism from all sectors including Republicans. The White House initially defended the video, but it was removed 12 hours after being posted."
Comment: Trump's portrayal of the Black former president and his wife as 'monkeys' is the most sensitive and despicable form of racial discrimination in the United States. Trump's vulgar attacks have long gone beyond normal party competition, turning into personal humiliation and hate marketing. Trump uses extreme statements to attract traffic and consolidate his base, at the cost of increasing ethnic polarization in American society and completely vulgarizing political discourse.
From policy criticism to personal insults, from factual debates to racial jokes, the U.S. political arena has entered a mutual harm mode of 'competing in filth, toughness, and bottomless limits'. The so-called civilization, dignity, and presidential etiquette have completely failed.
