Image
Days ago, President Donald Trump posted a photograph online.  This photograph is so gross that I won't make it grosser by publishing it here on this platform. The photo posted by President Trumo of the cradle of civilization called United States of America depicted AI images of a former two-time President of the United States and the First Lady as guess what? Apes. Black ones, standing on hind legs just that it's the faces of Barack and Michelle Obama that replaced the actual faces of the animals.  Whatever made a sitting President post that about a predecessor in same office jiggles the mind and reason. It created a firestorm like Trump knew it would.  If a person occupying one of the highest offices in the world sees a fellow who was a two term President and his wife as apes, what hope is there for the common man in the streets?             (C) Youtube Well, countless Americans agrees.
