LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama confronted some of his haters on Twitter -- including Donald Trump -- by reading some of their mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday.

"Barack Obama is the Nickelback of presidents," he read in the first tweet.

"Barack Obama dances like how his jeans look," he read in another.

"You know, this jeans thing," he said, "this is so old. Couple years ago. Come on."

"Barack Obama ... bro, do you even lift?!" one of the tweets read.

"Well I lifted the ban on Cuban cigars, that's worth something," Obama replied.

Obama also trolled Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has become famous for his Twitter rants, by reading a tweet Trump directed at Obama.

"President Obama will go down in history as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!" Trump tweeted.

"Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president," Obama fired back as he let go of his phone in a pseudo mic drop.

Obama also famously took part in Kimmel's Mean Tweets segment last year.
