What it looks like to me is that the president and his allies have been posting so much gutter racism on Truth Social, X, and elsewhere—keep in mind that Elon Musk is openly white supremacist now and flooding the zone with neo-Nazi content—that they didn’t expect this kind of uproar over the ape video. They didn’t expect it to make front page headlines in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal and be splashed across cable news, because they thought they’d worn the media down to the point where we just accepted a certain level of rank bigotry as the new normal.
