Republicans have been having a tough time recently — their investigation into the 2012 Benghazi attacks backfired and has been labelled as a useless political witch hunt, and their 2016 presidential candidate frontrunner is Donald Trump. Dark days indeed.

But, circumstances aside, President Obama reckons they’re just grumpy people, and the personification of the internet’s most beloved and hateful feline.

“Overall though, we are making enormous progress and it does make you wonder why is it that Republican politicians are so down on America,” he said. “Have you noticed that? I mean, they are gloomy. They’re like Grumpy Cat.”

Cue the greatest impersonation you will ever see a leader of the free world do:
