Jimmy Kimmel’s “mean tweets” segment — in which celebrities read mean tweets about themselves posted by random people on Twitter — is definitely one of his funnier routines. This week, however, Kimmel went beyond Katy Perry and Iggy Azalea and recruited president Barack Obama to read some of the Internet’s hot takes on his presidency.

Of course, the tweets read by Obama are pretty tame compared to some of the ones read by other celebrities on Kimmel in the past — for instance, no tweet in the segment wished that his voice box would get “destroyed by a gorilla d–k.” In fact, Obama seemed to like one tweeters suggestion that the Secret Service drop him off at a golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there.

The whole segment is very funny and you can watch it below.
