Obama Breaks Silence on Trump's Controversial Video Share

Barack Obama has spoken out after Donald Trump shared and then deleted a video portraying the former president and First Lady Michelle Obama in a derogatory manner. The video received backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, highlighting ongoing tensions between the political rivals.

Obama Calls Out Loss of Decorum

In an interview, Obama criticized the video posts and the current administration's behavior, calling it a "clown show" and expressing concern over declining presidential decorum. He lamented the erosion of propriety associated with the presidency.

The controversial video was initially posted on Trump's official Truth Social account before being removed. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers denounced the post.

Bipartisan Criticism and White House Response

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the backlash, urging media to focus on more pressing issues for Americans. However, some Republicans also criticized the video, with Senator Tim Scott calling it "the most racist thing" from the White House.

Trump deflected responsibility onto an unnamed staffer and maintained he did not need to apologize, stating he "DIDN’T MAKE A MISTAKE." Obama suggested that voters would ultimately express their views on these actions at the polls.
