To the editor:

On Friday night, President Donald Trump shared racist propaganda depicting Black Americans as animals. He did so openly, on his own platform. The images were not subtle or accidental. They relied on one of the oldest tools of racism: dehumanization.

Trump's post was beyond despicable - there is no bottom; Leavitt's attempt to whitewash the post was both sinister and absurd. This is who Trump is and always has been ! Deep shame on our Nation ...a Nation seemingly without shame.
