It's not. The point is there is a long history of racism directed at black people using monkey imagery and comparisons. It's rooted in the eugenics movement that once claimed black people were biologically inferior and closer to monkeys.

Showing a picture that compares W to a chimp doesn't somehow erase a common racist theme that has existed for well over 200 years.
