Letโs walk back to where we started. What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism. You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. Racism, among other things, is a kind of chauvinism, a belief in oneโs inherent superiority, based on nothing other than a meaningless accident of birth. Itโs an ideology that papers over feelings of inadequacy, that tells you that โ no matter what you have or have not accomplished in your life โ youโre still better than someone, some group. Letโs suppose youโre the spoiled son of a self-made man. Letโs suppose that, despite your flash and bravado, youโve failed at virtually everything youโve tried. Youโre the laughingstock of polite society, a punchline for the privileged. You think youโre superior enough to be the president of the United States โ the highest honor in your country โ but the actual president is a man of humble origins, a minority of the kind your family didnโt even rent to when you were in the landlord business. And he is claiming power that rightfully belongs to you. Heโs even mocking you, ridiculing you for all the world to see. For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trumpโs entire political career โ from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship โ cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism.

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.
Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.
And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.
We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

โA White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,โ a White House official told Zeteo.
