Obama gets in a jab at Trump during presidential edition of 'Mean Tweets'

President Obama is used to criticism, which is why when he read aloud mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night, he let such disses as "Barack Obama is the Sharknado of presidents. Loud, stupid, and over-hyped!" roll off his back.

While Obama let @Woodstockdave get away with saying he "couldn't negotiate getting a Whopper without pickles," he didn't let @Maaaaartz get off so easily — after he accused Obama of dancing "like how his jeans look," the president encouraged him to find a new insult. "You know, this jeans thing, this is so old," he said. "This is years ago. C'mon."

Obama saved the best burn for last, after he read a barb from perhaps the world's most prolific Twitter user, the man of 33,800 tweets and counting, @realDonaldTrump, who declared: "President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!" Obama's response, before dropping his phone since he didn't have a mic? "Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president." Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
