House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) tore into President Trump on Friday for posting a racist video of the Obamas, saying in a clip posted to social media: "F*** Donald Trump."It's a drastic escalation of the rhetoric between the House Democratic leader and the White House amid delicate negotiations on immigration enforcement.

But it's not the first time things have gotten personal between Trump and Jeffries, who clashed last autumn over AI-generated videos Trump posted of Jeffries wearing a sombrero. This time, however, Trump's account posted a now-deleted video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers in both parties.

"This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally," Jeffries said in the clip, contradicting the White House's claim that it was an erroneous post by a staffer. "F*** Donald Trump and his vile, racist and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom-feeder," the Democratic leader continued. The Obamas, he continued, represent "the best of this country."

Jeffries called for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other Republicans to "denounce this serial fraudster who's sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be the president."

1. "It's time..."

Actually, it is way beyond time for republicans to stand up against troglodyte Donnie dumpster. It is over a decade late for them to stand up against him so don’t hold your breath.

2. Good for Jeffries, it doesn't get any lower than that video.

I hope Nipsey Hussle's 'F*ck Donald Trump' makes a huge comeback.

3. Nice he finally figured it out.

[Biophilic]

4. Notice republican's seem to agree with the president. Who do you hear speaking out aginst this?

[bagimin]

5. Maybe Massie, Tillis, Murkowski.

Susan Collins to do a focus group on it.

6. Tim Scott was the first I heard. He will be permanently on Trumps shit list after kissing his ass

in 2024 thinking he had a shot at VP.

7. I don't care about social media. Tear into him on all of the networks. Of course he's not going to

drop a F bomb,he doesn't have to.

8. He left off the kill shot

Every day, Jeffries, Schumer and other leaders should gather for a press conference where a clear, consistent message of protest is delivered, and each of these sessions should end with a reading from the Constitution:

Let me remind the media, the Congress and the Cabinet that the Constitution calls all of us to do our solemn duty to end this. The 25th Amendment states, and I quote:

'The Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit ... to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue.... If the Congress ... determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office'

It is time that the Cabinet must act. Today, not tomorrow, not next week after more people are killed, after more of the taxpayers' money has been misappropriated, after more cities have been invaded by Trump's private army, after more vital international alliances have been trashed. Today. We call on the Cabinet and Vice President to do their duty under the Constitution -- TODAY!

Put the pressure on the Cabinet and the Republicans in Congress. We know they won't act, but that's OK. Keep the spotlight sharply on them. Do this every day, and soon reporters will be asking each Cabinet member, "When is the Cabinet going to meet pursuant to the 25th Amendment? Why have you not done so already? What would the President have to do to make you act?"

10. I think a Dems press conference should be every other day so people can think on what they've said for a day

[Bluetus]

13. That is fine with me. But it should be regular

And each session should include:
* specific demands the Democrats are making
* specific question the media ought to be asking
* specific things Democrats commit to do differently if given control of the House and Senate

Three big keys to messaging are:
- Regular delivery of messages
- Consistency of messages across all channels
- Clarity (follow a formula so people know what to expect)

This is like a job interview. Democrats as a party (not as a bunch of individuals) should be asking for the job -- meaning control of the House and Senate. And in asking for that job, they need to tell their potential employer (that's us) what they are committed to doing with that power.

9. AMEN! to that Jeffries.

[Bayard]

11. More of this please!

Call for the 25th Amendment to be enacted every single day, on every public medium. Ask about it every time a rethuglican is interviewed. Play doctors' opinions, and interviews, every day.

"Do you think trump should have his finger on the nuclear button?"

[Mysterian]

12. Oh it's nice he's not on TV praising Trump's immigration policies

like he was two weeks ago.
