Yesterday President Barack Obama was featured on Jimmy Kimmel's "Mean Tweets". The last tweet he read was from none other than Donald Trump.
President Obama responded (beginning at 1:33), "Well - at Real Donald Trump - at least I will go down as 'A President'."
The image above was captured during 1:33 as the President says, "Well ...". The expression on his face (Elevated Central Forehead Contraction along with a Partial Mouth Smile) is one of both Contempt and Disbelief.
In the next image (1:39, captured just after he says, "... President'." ) note that the Obama's eyelids are opened wider than baseline with his left mustache area contracted and elevated as well as left nostril flaring. This cluster is characteristic of Anger - along with Contempt (This contempt expression is a different from that in first image).
This next image (immediately above) is from 1:40 after he's done speaking. This expression is Contempt mixed with Disgust.
A second later (1:41), Obama's facial expression has not changed much - but he drops the phone (a version of a mic drop).
When the fingers are left open/splayed at the end of this dropping gesture - it has the additional message of "I Wash My Hands of You" or "You are Dismissed".
