Barack Obama got a leather jacket because he is a fashion dad now

He will never take our calls again.

Barack Obama does not need us anymore. Don't believe us? Look at his new outfit.

Still looking well-rested from their extended vacation, the president and Michelle were spotted leaving the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. And while Michelle looked extremely chic in black (no surprise there), Barack appears to have traded in his dad jeans for a pair of fashion dad jeans. And a dad leather jacket.

Want to feel terrible? Look at this photo, then imagine Trump securing his tie with Scotch tape. Bad!

The internet, of course, is emotional. A leather jacket? A cool, brown leather jacket while he looks at fine art? This man will never take our calls again.

He looks real good, though.
