Obama says he laughs at Trump ‘most of the time’

LOS ANGELES — US President Obama returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday (Oct 24) and joked about Mr Donald Trump and his post-White House plans, and he once again participated in one of the show’s signature skits: reading “Mean Tweets” about himself.

Mr Kimmel asked Mr Obama, “When you watch the debate and you watch Donald Trump, do you ever actually laugh?” “Most of the time,” Mr Obama responded.

Mr Obama also quipped about his post-White House plans to stay in Washington DC at least until his youngest daughter finishes high school.

The president joked that he would be like “the old guy at the bar where you went to high school — just kind of hanging around like shirt is buttoned a bit too low — still thinks he’s cool”.

He also quipped that First Lady Michelle Obama would divorce him if he were able to run again for a third term.

Mr Obama, who appeared on the show last year, also read off a new sampling of mean tweets, a regular segment on Kimmel’s show in which guests read the less positive social media comments about themselves. VARIETY.COM/REUTERS
