Shifting gears, the conversation turned to former President Barack Obama’s recent comments. During an interview, he was asked to respond to a distasteful and offensive video shared by Donald Trump that depicted him and former First Lady Michelle Obama in a derogatory manner. Our forever President handled it with his signature class, stating that while this kind of “clown show” gets attention, the majority of Americans find it deeply troubling. He emphasized that people still believe in decency and respect, a standard that seems to have been forgotten by some. As DJ Misses put it after playing the clip, “Barack has spoken. Mic drop.” It was a reminder of the dignity he brought to the office.
