President Obama slow-jams the news with Jimmy Fallon, takes shots at Trump

Aww, yeah.

In an appearance on “The Tonight Show” on Thursday, President Obama slow-jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon.

The bit, which preceded a lengthy interview with the host, was a look back at Obama’s time in office, set to a sultry R&B rhythm. The president noted the accomplishments under his watch, including the Affordable Care Act, same-sex marriage, economic recovery and action on climate change.

But with a presidential election heating up, he also took aim at Republican candidate Donald Trump – more than once.

“The American people face an important decision this fall,” Obama said. “The entire world is watching and they look to us for stability and leadership. Now, I know some of the presidential candidates have been critical of my foreign policy. I don’t want to name any names.”

That’s when Black Thought of the Roots chimed in: “He’s talking about Donald Trump.”

The tawny-maned former reality TV star also came up in a question posed by Fallon: “Now, Mr. President, since you’re here, I gotta ask: Have you been watching all the election coverage this week about Donald Trump?”

“No,” Obama replied, “but I have been watching my new favorite show, ‘Orange Is Not the New Black.’”

Thursday marked Obama’s first visit to “The Tonight Show” since Fallon took over the desk in 2015.

But it wasn’t Obama’s first turn at the mike: During his re-election campaign in 2012, the president (or, as Fallon called him, “the preezy of the United Steezy”) slow-jammed on an episode of “Late Night” filmed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Other politicians, including Republicans Chris Christie, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush, have participated in the bit. Whether presumptive nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump follow suit remains to be seen.
