On Jan. 20, Barack Obama’s term as the 44th president of the United States came to an end and he passed the torch to Donald Trump.
Most recently he’s been making water sports great again.

But seeing Obama enjoying himself has made some people a bit sad.
Obama is like America’s ex and now whenever we see him doing fun stuff it just makes us sad

And they’ve deemed him America’s ex-bae because…
1. He’s officially put America on his “do not call” list.

Looking at President Obama’s vacation pics make me feel like I’m stalking an ex on Instagram.
