Former US President Barack Obama has addressed a racist video shared by President Donald Trump's social media, which depicted Obama and his wife Michelle as apes. Obama stated that the "shame" and "decorum" once present in public officials has been lost.

• The offensive video, set to The Lion Sleeps Tonight, was included in a post on Trump's Truth Social account containing unfounded claims about voter fraud.
• The post drew widespread criticism, with Senator Tim Scott, the only black Republican senator, calling it "the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House."
• Trump claimed he "didn’t see" the part of the video showing the Obamas and refused to apologize.
