Barack Obama has made his first appearance since Donald Trump claimed the former president of the United States tapped his phones during the presidential election – and he was looking good.
He and his wife Michelle were reportedly clapped and cheered by a small crowd present at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

With Trump’s sensational and as yet unfounded claims hanging in the air around Obama at the moment the public did what any person in the 21st century who wants to talk about politics would do – talked about his outfit.
Barack got that old man swag: Brown leather jacket, shirt tucked in. I could only hope to be that fresh when I'm 60. pic.twitter.com/RW5pNMp83d

Having said that, some felt Obama could have brought out his A-game sooner.
Barack Obama gave us 8 years of "dad jeans" knowing all the while that this was possible. How dare you sir! pic.twitter.com/J1GXgKhqO4
