Desperate Trump Begs Voters to ‘Remember’ Him After Vile Obama Post
Trump’s former chief of staff warned that the vile video likely torched the GOP’s already slim chances of success come midterms.
President Trump urges November voters to remember his political accomplishments, not his racist posts on TruthSocial.
On Friday night, the 79-year-old Trump took to social media to boast about lifting Obama-era restrictions on commercial fishing off the coast of New England. This announcement came a day after a heated controversy erupted over the sharing of an AI-generated video depicting the Obama family as monkeys.
“Today I signed a presidential proclamation authorizing commercial fishing in the Atlantic Ocean, further strengthening our ‘America First’ fisheries policy!” Trump wrote.
“Please remember I did this for you, against strong Democrat opposition, and VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE MIDTERMS!”
Trump’s proclamation, issued Friday, restores “commercial access to the entire 4,913 square kilometers of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Maritime Monument, off the coast of New England.”
President Obama had created a protected area of nearly 5,000 square kilometers east of Cape Cod in 2016 to preserve the fragile underwater coral reef ecosystem. Trump removed this protection during his first term, and Joe Biden reinstated it during his presidency.
Trump presented this announcement as a gesture of goodwill toward New England, which voted for the Democratic candidate in the three presidential elections in which he ran.
“It’s hard to believe you’re voting for the Democrats who did this to you, and not for Trump, who will get you out of this environmental and economic crisis,” the president retorted, adding:“VOTE REPUBLICAN FROM NOW ON!”
This call from Trump to mobilize his supporters for the midterm elections comes as everything seems to point to a Democratic victory over the Republican Party in November, with a real possibility of regaining control of both houses of Congress.
Trump’s plummeting popularity in the polls on the economy and immigration—two key themes of his 2024 campaign—has become a major liability for the struggling Republicans.
Today, the already weakened Republicans face a significant challenge in their reelection campaign after their leader released offensive racist videos targeting his former political opponents.
On Thursday evening, Trump shared a video showing the faces of Barack and Michelle Obama superimposed on monkey heads.
The administration has offered several excuses to justify the controversy.” White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt said it was simply a parody of “The Lion King,” even though the film does not feature monkeys. Trump claimed he hadn’t seen the offending portion of the video because it appeared toward the end.
The Republican Party is reportedly in a state of panic following the release.
According to some sources, Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former chief of staff, told News Nation’s Kelly Meyer that the video had destroyed the already slim Republican chances of winning the midterm elections.
Mulvaney added, “I’ve spoken to several members of the House who are furious and don’t know how they’re going to handle this during the campaign.”
It’s worth noting that some current Republicans have expressed disagreement with Trump’s stance on the video. Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, a candidate for reelection in 2026, was among the many Republican elected officials who strongly condemned Trump’s racist post about Obama.
He wrote on X.co.uk: “Even if it’s just a Lion King meme, any reasonable person can see the racist undertones. The White House should do what anyone would do after making a mistake: delete the post and apologize.”
