Trump’s racist Obama meme triggers backlash as GOP stays mum
Democrats condemned Trump after he reposted a racist meme depicting Barack and Michelle Obama, prompting backlash and widespread GOP silence; a White House official said the post was an error by staff, Trump claimed he didn’t see the racist portion and refused to apologize, and the clip was removed after about 12 hours. The roundup also notes other US headlines, including Iran‑US nuclear talks, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter pleading guilty to threats against Hakeem Jeffries, and a Dow milestone amid economic optimism.
