- Donald Trump is facing intense backlash after a racist video surfaced, with many condemning his actions as "vile, racist trash" and questioning his mental acuity, according to Conover Kennard of Crooks and Liars.
- The video has sparked widespread outrage, with critics slamming Trump's attempt at damage control as inadequate and insincere, highlighting his history of discriminatory behavior and rhetoric.
- As of February 7, 2026, Trump's response to the controversy has only fueled further criticism, with many calling out his lack of remorse and continued perpetuation of racist ideologies, as reported by Crooks and Liars.
JUSTICE MATTERS
The New York Times, BBC, and PBS NewsHour frame the story differently, with the New York Times stating the video clip caused an "unusually strong and public outcry" without quoting Trump's response, while the BBC quotes Trump saying he "didn't see" the racist part of the video, and PBS NewsHour simply states the White House "defended and then removed" the post. The BBC's use of Trump's words, such as "I didn't make a mistake," sanitizes his language, whereas Crooks and Liars uses more direct language, calling Trump "vile, racist trash." The systemic context of racism and its implications are obscured in the BBC and PBS NewsHour coverage, which focus on the immediate reaction and removal of the post, rather than the broader implications of the President's actions.
