Former President Barack Obama said a “clown show” is happening on social media and television in response to a viral video President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social.

Trump took down an election conspiracy video from his social media earlier this month after it generated mass controversy, as it included a racist stereotype, portraying Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes. The former president reacted to the video by saying most people in the United States find Trump’s behavior “deeply troubling” and called it a “distraction.”
