On Tuesday President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations, and the face of his top advisor pretty much sums up how it went.
In the caustic speech the President harangued individual nations, breaking with the usual diplomatic language reserved for the international body's general assembly.
At one point he openly threatened that America would 'totally destroy' North Korea.

Some have speculated that it was taken at the moment that President Trump referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as 'Rocket Man', in reference to the country's nuclear tests and various threats.
However, Daniel Dale of the Toronto Star claims it occurred when North Korea was called a 'band of criminals' by the President.
The image of a Marine Corps general, apparently embarrassed by his Commander in Chief, became something of a meme.

This is also not the first time Kelly's facial expressions have caused a raised eyebrow or two from the general public.
