Officials previously blamed a staffer for a grotesquely racist video reposted by the president’s account earlier this month

Asked whether the president's latest Truth represented an official shift in American policy against the Chagos deal, Leavitt told reporters that Trump's post "should be taken as the policy of the Trump administration” because it had come “straight from the horse's mouth.”

“When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump,” she said.

But Leavitt’s defense of the president’s latest social media activity directly contradicts what White House officials and Trump were saying just days ago after he posted a video to social media that showed Barack and Michelle Obama’s faces superimposed onto apes in a jungle, swaying side to side and smiling as the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” played in the background.

Oh, they ARE from Trump, but they will still continue to blame that idiotic unnamed staffer whenever he says something stupider than usual.

I think it's probably Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller.

Now that they've said that they've released all the Epstein Files, and they claim that it's over, they should ask about nothing but the Epstein Files.

Technically, Trump is a “White House Staffer.” He’s the executive in charge.

It's almost as if they're all habitual liars who don't even try to get their respective stories straight.
