Truth Social is Running Racist Obama Birther Ads Next To Trump Posts
On Truth Social, Trump's platform is now running racist birtherism ads implying former President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and is therefore an illegitimate president. Trump repeatedly attacked the first Black president of the United States in this manner, and it is one of the ways he was able to build his base of racist supporters prior to being carried down the golden escalator.
The Truth Social birtherism ad links to a website inviting visitors to purchase "The Trump Dictionary." The Trump Dictionary claims to be the "re-education of the American nation," claims "Trump is the Shakespeare of our age," purports to use Trump's definitions of words to redefine the English language, claims to have over 600 "redefined words" and over "100 witty nicknames given by Trump," and says it would be perfect for "history buffs."
Imagine believing the dictionary needs to be realigned to affirm Trump's use of the English language.
Trump backed off birtherism claims during his 2016 campaign. That doesn't stop this group and his followers from believing Trump was speaking the truth about it beforehand. Funny how he's never gone back to claim he has proof of his racist birtherism beliefs despite being president for 4 years and having enough power to verify whatever claims he wanted to.
Yet, maybe something at else is at play here. Showing signs of cognitive decline, Donald Trump may actually believe he is running against Barack Obama in the 2024 election. At a recent rally, Trump told a crowd that he was leading Obama in the polls by a lot.
We'll leave it there.
