This Monday, our Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama stopped by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to take part in the recurring segment, “Mean Tweets.” (Which, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is where celebrities read and respond to tweets that have been written about them.)
(This was President Obama’s second appearance in the segment “Mean Tweets – President Obama Edition,” the first of which can be seen here.)
Some of the tweets the President read this week included:
Barack Obama is the Nickelback of presidents.

Barack Obama is the sharknado of presidents. Loud, stupid and over-hyped! #Sharknado4.

But the best moment of the segment was when Obama responded to a tweet by Donald Trump:
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2016
To which Obama responded, “Hey, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president.”
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you drop the mic when you’re the leader of the free world. I, for one, am going to miss this guy.
