Barack Obama is a good sport, so naturally he’s spent years putting up with fans who wanted to take selfies with him. He smiled that gorgeous smile and stared into the many phone screens held up in the air by strangers’ arms … but he doesn’t really like selfies, okay?
As the former POTUS kicked off the first day of The Obama Foundation Summit — a Chicago gathering of inspiring civic leaders like Prince Harry and Lin-Manuel Miranda — USA Today reported that he made a very bold move and straight up banned selfies with him and his wife, Michelle.

A lot of folks anticipated the indictment of former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort on Monday. But very few, if any, publicly predicted the (newly revealed) arrest of Trump foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his contact with people close to the Russian government. He was arrested in July and has since worked with a special counsel led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
