While the rest of the world goes up in flames, Barack and Michelle Obama are off on a well-deserved vacation.
The two flew to Palm Springs immediately after Donald Trump’s inauguration, and are now hanging out and soaking up some sun on billionaire Richard Branson’s private island in the British Virgin Islands. Obama appears the most relaxed we’ve seen in years, as evidenced by his smile, shorts, flip-flops and, oh yeah, his backwards hat.

When photos of his relaxed look emerged, people on Twitter totally lost it:

"OBAMA IS VACATIONING WITH HIS HAT ON BACKWARDS"
Seeing Obama on vacation in flip flops with his hat to the back just brought me so much joy ❤❤❤

Some people jokingly took the hat as a sign the Obamas are never coming back:
