Trump Deletes Racist Meme, Launches Drug Website

Former President Donald Trump deleted a racist social media post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as primates after it sparked widespread condemnation and calls for its removal, according to multiple news sources. The post, a 62-second video shared on Trump's Truth Social feed, amplified false claims about the 2020 election and was quickly removed after significant backlash, including criticism from within his own party.

The controversial post, which superimposed the Obamas' faces onto apes, was described as racist by Vox, and was attributed to a staffer by Fortune. The incident followed a pattern of racially charged rhetoric from Trump, according to Fortune. The post was shared overnight and quickly drew criticism.

The incident comes as Trump's actions continue to be scrutinized. The Logoff, a daily newsletter featured on Vox, noted that Trump's actions are making his party "antsy."

In other news, the Trump administration launched a new government website, TrumpRx.gov, designed to help Americans save money on prescription drugs, according to Euronews. The website allows users to search for medications, print coupons, and receive discounts at pharmacies. This initiative aims to challenge the pharmaceutical industry's pricing practices and offer prices comparable to those in other developed nations.

Meanwhile, The Verge reported on the decline of The Washington Post under Jeff Bezos' ownership, citing significant job losses and subscription cancellations. Despite efforts to appease Trump, including a flattering documentary about Melania Trump, Bezos has seemingly gained no tangible benefits, raising questions about his motivations for owning the publication.

In unrelated news, attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, convicted of assaulting an ICE officer, are seeking access to investigative files related to the same officer's recent fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, according to Wired. They argue this information is crucial for potential mitigating factors in sentencing, as the officer, Jonathan Ross, was also involved in the incident where Muñoz-Guatemala was convicted of dragging him with a car.
