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.
It’s almost like they don’t care at all about the truth and will say whatever is most convenient in the moment to their cause. Their MAGAt cultists don’t care either way and will just blindly accept whatever doublethink is asked of them.
