Donald Trump is a hypocrite, a racist one at that. Don’t believe me? Well, just hours after claiming that the country needed to stand together and fight against white supremacy, Trump turned around and began attacking the nation’s first black president.
Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to quote “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmead, who said that former President Barack Obama didn’t get the same treatment as Trump for the mass shootings that happened under his watch.
As some noted, President Obama didn’t daily stoke racist hatred and espouse white nationalist and white supremacist views, demonize non-whites and immigrants, and enact policies to advance a white ethnostate agenda.
“Did George Bush ever condemn President Obama after Sandy Hook. President Obama had 32 mass shootings during his reign. Not many people said Obama is out of Control. Mass shootings were happening before the President even thought about running for Pres.” @kilmeade @foxandfriends

Trump also felt the need to claim that he is “the least racist person.” If you aren’t racist, there shouldn’t be a need to clarify that.
“It’s political season and the election is around the corner. They want to continue to push that racist narrative.” @ainsleyearhardt @foxandfriends And I am the least racist person. Black, Hispanic and Asian Unemployment is the lowest (BEST) in the history of the United States!

Here’s how people reacted to Trump’s attack on Obama.
Obama did wear a tan suit though which became one of the biggest scandals to the right

You racist piece of fecal matter, YOU’ve condemned @BarackObama for everything! You started by saying he isn’t even an American. Your ENTIRE evil regime has been about undoing what that GREAT man did for this country. Keep his name out yo’ mouth! You are NOT worthy. #NoOneLikeYou

Obama–with every shooting– tried hard to change the laws. The GOP stopped him at every turn.

Trump has now pivoted from condemning white supremacy in a canned speech to criticizing the country’s first black president… https://t.co/P7CrYRTFGo

Donald Trump reading: “Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside — so destructive — and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion and love."

Not even 24 hours ago, the president called for the nation to put aside partisan bickering to solve gun violence. https://t.co/vplcUAkoJi

Well, tbf, Obama never used the language of mass shooter and/or white supremacists ever, let alone in daily public parlance like you do, so….

You’re such a disgusting, vile organism. I’m not even sure you’re a human being. You will NEVER be the man that @BarackObama is. You can only dream of being the leader he was. Barack never promoted hate and violence. Cannot wait till you’re gone. NY will deal with your crimes
