Officials previously blamed a staffer for a grotesquely racist video reposted by the president’s account earlier this month
Asked whether the president’s latest Truth represented an official shift in American policy against the Chagos deal, Leavitt told reporters that Trump’s post "should be taken as the policy of the Trump administration” because it had come “straight from the horse’s mouth.”
“When you see it on Truth Social, you know it’s directly from President Trump,” she said.
But Leavitt’s defense of the president’s latest social media activity directly contradicts what White House officials and Trump were saying just days ago after he posted a video to social media that showed Barack and Michelle Obama’s faces superimposed onto apes in a jungle, swaying side to side and smiling as the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” played in the background.
Well, we know that’s a lie. It could not possibly be more obvious when Donald Trump is not the author of a post. There are countless examples of posts that were clearly not written by the Very Stable Genius.
I read those as being too drugged to type so he dictates it to a staffer who then cleans it up as he types.
