JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - Mantan Presiden Amerika Serikat Barack Obama akhirnya angkat bicara terkait video yang dibagikan Presiden Donald Trump, yang menampilkan dirinya dan mantan ibu negara Michelle Obama sebagai kera.

Dalam wawancara dengan komentator politik Brian Tyler Cohen yang dipublikasikan pada Sabtu (14/2/2026), Obama menilai perilaku tersebut mencerminkan hilangnya rasa kepatutan di ruang publik.

Namun, kata Obama, mayoritas rakyat Amerika masih menjunjung nilai kesopanan dan etika.

"Pertama-tama, saya pikir penting untuk menyadari bahwa mayoritas rakyat Amerika menganggap perilaku ini sangat meresahkan. Ia memang menarik perhatian. Ia memang menjadi pengalih perhatian. Tetapi, ketika saya berkeliling negeri ini, bertemu orang-orang, mereka masih percaya pada kesopanan, tata krama, kebaikan," kata Obama.

Transkrip
00:00First of all, I think it's important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply
00:08troubling.
00:40You know, it's true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction. But, you know, as I'm traveling
00:52around the country, as you're traveling around the country, you meet people, they still believe in decency.
00:59Courtesy. Kindness. There's this sort of clown show that's happening in social media and on television. And what is true
01:11is that there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had
01:21to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety.
01:29And respect for the office. Right. So that's been lost. But the reason I point out that I don't think
01:36the majority of the American people approve of this is because ultimately the answer is going to come from the
01:43American people.
01:44And we just saw this in Minnesota, in Minneapolis. You know, I was on a panel a while back. And
01:54I said, you know, a lot of the values that we say we subscribe to during easy times, during peaceful
02:06times.
02:08It's easy to say we believe in those things. Right. When they're not challenged. When they're not challenged. You know,
02:14it's easy to believe in free speech when it doesn't seem like the government's trying to crack down on free
02:19speech.
02:19It's easy to say that, you know, we believe in the golden rule.
