Trump Shares Racist Conspiracy Post About Michelle Obama

President Donald Trump reposted a message from far-right activist Laura Loomer calling Michelle Obama an “anti-white racist” on Truth Social. The post came as Trump prepares for his State of the Union address and follows controversy over his sharing of a racist AI video depicting the Obamas as apes. Trump’s reposting of Loomer’s message included threats against Netflix to fire Susan Rice from its board.

Loomer’s extensive post urged Trump to block a Warner Bros. merger with Netflix, fearing it would expand the Obamas’ influence through their Higher Ground Productions. The former first lady’s company produces content for Netflix’s platform. Trump’s actions follow Susan Rice’s warning that corporations cozying up to his administration would face consequences if Democrats regain power in upcoming elections.

This marks another instance of Trump amplifying Loomer’s content, who has previously gained access to the White House and pushed for loyalty purges within government. The president has refused to apologize for the racist video controversy, blaming a staffer for posting it without full review. His continued sharing of inflammatory content from conspiracy theorists raises questions about his judgment and the political climate as he faces congressional Democrats at the State of the Union.
