So, according to the internet several people actually
 believe Cheeto isn't petty enough to drag a situation out 
after an apology because the original image wasn't anywhere near flattering. 
I wonder where they pulled that falsely generous view from. 
Certainly those hanging watermelon images didn't get a thumbs-down from politicos of 
all stripes across the nation. I'm curious, can anyone give an alternate meaning possibility to the racism in those hanging/monkey/watermelon images? Anyone? Context through current events, one perhaps besides "Oooooh, black man exists."
As opposed to Griffin's nod to terrorism in her piece by mimicking the pose you find said imagery content in context-wise. As in 
specifically  destroying those terrorists of a radical Islamist stripe that was one of Orangy's campaign promises. It's no state secret a hell of a lot of people have noticed that he tends to terrorize everyone else through incredibly inept, greedy and spiteful political actions.  Certainly those two things could never come together to make a coherent photo, no.  
As for white men; yeah, actually. Everyone's allowed to consider themselves insulted with no apology to be found, apparently, 
but the highest white man in the land. The man is actively doing and has 
done considerably worse things
 in all seriousness and a 
comedian makes a joke picturing Cheeto's head a la Classic Terrorist & Campaign Promises and, well.
