FAKE. This is clearly not our president, or we would have already won our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq with sheer adorableness. Seriously, figure out a way to stuff that in a smart bomb and go to town.

You cannot help but love this man and what he brings to our nation with an adorable pet and a football. Joy is in everything the man does.
