Barack Obama’s brutal reply to Trump after racist video depicting him and Michelle as apes

Donald Trump faced massive backlash after posting a video portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

The video has since been removed, but the U.S. president has refused to apologize.

Now, Obama has finally responded.

”As I’m traveling around the country…”
Former President Barack Obama is breaking his silence after President Donald Trump shared a shocking video on social media depicting him and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

The now-deleted clip, posted on Truth Social earlier this month, sparked outrage across the political spectrum and reignited tensions between the two political heavyweights.

In an interview with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen released on Saturday, Feb. 14, Obama, 64, called the video “deeply troubling,” describing the clip showing their faces superimposed on animated apes dancing to The Lion Sleeps Tonight as emblematic of a disturbing trend in U.S. politics.

“It’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama said. “It is true that it gets attention, that it’s a distraction, but as I’m traveling around the country … you meet people [and] they still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness. And there’s this sort of clown show that’s happening in social media and on television.”
