Washington: Obama has expressed his reaction to the racist artificial intelligence video that depicted former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama as monkeys shared on President Donald Trump's social media account.

Obama made his position clear in an interview with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen. He said that such behaviors of Trump are deeply disturbing to the American people.

Losing dignity: In the past, rulers used to maintain the decency and respect of their position. But now, Obama accused no one of having any shame in such values.

He described what is happening on social media and television as a kind of 'clown show' and a tactic to divert public attention.

Although the video became controversial, Trump was not ready to apologize. He told reporters on Air Force One that he had done nothing wrong. The White House later removed the video, saying it was a mistake by a staffer.

Obama also strongly criticized the immigration actions in Minneapolis. He said it was unthinkable for federal agents (ICE) to drag people from their homes and use five-year-old children to capture their parents.

He added that the killing of Alex Pretty in Minneapolis last month was an attack on the values of the country. Obama accused the government of not providing proper explanations for the deaths of Alex Pretty and Renee Goode.
