🎙️ Obama Slams Trump Rhetoric as a “Clown Show”

Former President Barack Obama sharply criticized the rhetoric of President Donald Trump and his administration, describing it as “a clown show” during a podcast interview that aired Saturday.

Speaking with YouTube host Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama addressed what he characterized as the “de-evolution” of political discourse in the United States.

⚠️ Controversy Over Online Video

During the conversation, Obama referenced growing concerns over inflammatory political messaging, including a racist video Trump shared online that targeted both Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Although Obama did not directly respond to the specific video, he criticized the administration’s tone and broader political strategies, including its rhetoric and mass deportation agenda.

🏛️ “Deeply Troubling” Political Climate

Obama argued that many Americans find the current state of political discourse “deeply troubling,” emphasizing that provocative content often serves as a distraction rather than constructive leadership.

“It gets attention. It’s a distraction,” Obama said, adding that a majority of Americans still value decency, courtesy, and respect for the presidency despite what he described as declining decorum.

📱 Bipartisan Backlash

Trump faced bipartisan condemnation after posting the video on Truth Social. Although the post was later removed, Trump did not issue a public apology.

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions in U.S. politics, as debates over rhetoric, social media conduct, and campaign messaging continue to shape the national conversation ahead of future elections.
