Trump\u2019s late-night eruption was vicious. Post after post, he hurled words like \u201cdemonic\u201d and \u201ctraitor\u201d at Barack Obama, demanding arrests, hinting at treason, and amplifying conspiracy theories that refuse to die. Then came the AI ape video, dragging Michelle Obama into the gutter. One man calls it politics. Another man calls it a li\u2026<\/p>\n
In the glare of social media, the line between political combat and personal cruelty keeps dissolving. Trump\u2019s late-night barrage wasn\u2019t just about policy or history; it was about dehumanizing an opponent and, more painfully, his family. Calling Obama a \u201cdemonic force,\u201d demanding his arrest, and circulating an AI video depicting the Obamas as apes taps into some of the ugliest traditions in American public life.<\/p>\n
