President Barack Obama read a bunch of mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on Monday night, offering by far the harshest response to one of Donald Trump’s.
Obama read one of Trump’s tweets from August:
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2016
Obama then said, "Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president."
Ouch.
There were a few other good ones from random people on Twitter:
- "Barack Obama… bro, do you even lift!?" Obama said, "Well, I lifted the ban on Cuban cigars. That’s worth something."
- "My mom bought new conditioner, and it sucks. It isn't even conditioning my hair. I blame Obama."
- "Barack Obama dances like his jeans look." Obama, agitated, said, "You know, this jeans thing. This is so … old. This was years ago. Come on."
In a wide-ranging interview, Kimmel also asked Obama how he felt about being term-limited out of a third run for the Oval Office. Obama said that George Washington was one of our best presidents because he had the wisdom to step down after two terms — avoiding setting a precedent of presidents ruling for life. Then he quipped, "For me, if I were able to run for a third term, Michelle would divorce me."
