Former US president Barack Obama criticizes a lack of shame and decorum in the country's political discourse, responding for the first time to a post on US President Donald Trump's social media account that depicted him and former first lady Michelle as monkeys.

The video, shared on Trump's Truth Social account on February 5, sparked censure across the US political spectrum, with the White House initially rejecting "fake outrage" only to then blame the post on an error by a staff member and taking it down.
