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

Former President Barack Obama has publicly addressed the controversy that erupted after President Donald Trump shared — and later deleted — a video portraying Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

The clip, originally posted on Truth Social earlier this month, sparked widespread backlash. Critics across the political spectrum condemned the imagery as racist and inflammatory. Although the video was removed, Trump declined to issue an apology.
