Former President Donald Trump needs to come get his people. After Barack and Michelle Obama announced in a statement that family matriarch Marian Robinson had passed away, supporters of the Republican presidential candidate wasted no time turning the former First Lady’s tribute into some kind of political rally.
Trolls left all kinds of racist, homophobic and sexist comments under a tribute Michelle posted on X, formerly Twitter. And while we know Trump’s MAGA fan base is known to be morally depraved, this was low even for them.
“I really don’t care. Remember, when you guys tried to stop Trump from going to his own mother-in-law’s funeral and his son’s graduation.?” wrote @marinasmigielsk
And then there was, “For the most part, our side is being civil on this post, but when members of Trumps family died you leftists weren’t at all civil” wrote @Chicago1Ray
“You were the son she always had” wrote @ColeTrickle____
A social media user going by @PatrioticPizzas wrote, “F*ck off, you degenerate racist clown.”
And then @ThatOldCoyote wrote, “I think it’s so brave and beautiful of her to support you on your trans journey!”
“The only person that can 100% verify if you are Big Mike or not. Sad day” wrote @Rev13BeastPope
Perhaps what’s even more disturbing is that each of these Trump trolls has thousands of followers that most likely echo their same racist sentiments.
But here’s what we know for sure: Trump was just found guilty of 34 felonies by a grand jury, and his base of supporters are not happy with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, calling for him to be disbarred and removed from office.
And as upsetting as it is to watch keyboard gangsters be so callous to our grieving former First Lady, in the words of Michelle: “When they go low, we go high.”
