Former President Barack Obama recently claimed political social media has become "a clown show" and accused President Donald Trump of demeaning the presidency when his social media account posted a meme earlier this month that depicted him and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Speaking with liberal podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen on a Saturday episode of Cohen's YouTube show, Obama lightly chuckled when Cohen brought up the clip, which was initially uploaded to Trump's Truth Social account late on Feb. 5 in a video about claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

In what appeared to have been screen-captured as part of an auto-play feature, Trump's post ended with the Obamas' faces superimposed on ape bodies amid the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." The full joke video, which subsequently went viral, also shows the heads of multiple Democratic politicians superimposed on the bodies of various animals indigenous to Africa.

Continued below.

Obama is correct to a point. But simply calling Trump a "clown" is continuing to underestimate his ability to destroy this nation. Underestimating him led the Democrats to run two terrible Presidential campaigns, resulting in losses. Trump is dangerous because he is both mentally and morally impaired and has given similarly impaired others powerful positions. I wish Trump were harmless like clown show. If the republic survives this man and his movement, it will take a generation to recover.
