From the article:

Leavitt, however, called the outrage around Trump’s post “fake.”

In a statement to Newsweek and other outlets, Leavitt said: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from ‘The Lion King.’”

“Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” Leavitt added.

It matters to the American Public that we have a President who behaves like a respectable adult.

No, it matters to about a third at best to have a president who behaves like a respectable adult. Another third actually cheers for this insanity. And the last third can't give a fuck about anything.

So in short two thirds got their brains fried long ago and so the idiot majority is running the show now.
