But Mr. Obama stressed that he believed that most Americans found such content abhorrent.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cI think it\u2019s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,\u201d Mr. Obama said. \u201cIt is true that it gets attention. It\u2019s true that it\u2019s a distraction. But as I\u2019m traveling around the country, as you\u2019re traveling around the country, you meet people, they still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness.\u201dMr. Trump has refused to apologize for posting the video, saying he \u201cdidn\u2019t make a mistake.\u201d He said that he had not seen the entire clip and that someone else had posted it on his account.In the nearly hourlong appearance with Mr. Cohen, Mr. Obama spoke at length about the Democratic Party, public protest and Mr. Trump\u2019s blunt immigration enforcement, including the deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to Minneapolis.\u201cThe rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous,\u201d Mr. Obama said. He added: \u201cIt is important for us to recognize the unprecedented nature of what ICE was doing in Minneapolis.\u201d The Trump administration said on Thursday that it was ending its deployment of federal agents to Minnesota after it led to tense protests, thousands of arrests and at least three shootings in the Democratic-led state.Mr. Obama applauded the grass roots organizing that was occurring in places like Minneapolis and community efforts to protect immigrants there.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cThat kind of heroic, sustained behavior in subzero weather by ordinary people is what should give us hope,\u201d he said.Ali Watkins covers international news for The Times and is based in Belfast.A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 16, 2026, Section A, Page 11 of the New York edition with the headline: Obama Laments A \u2018Clown Show\u2019 In Social Media.
