He sounds more like a kindergartner than the President of the United States.

President Barack Obama and 20 other world leaders participated in a tree-planting ceremony near Beijing on Tuesday, but the trees had already been planted by the Chinese government.

The fake photo-op came after a session of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

‘‎When the plenary was done, the leaders took part in a tree planting near the conference center,’ a White House pool reporter wrote while Washington slept 13 time zones away.

‘Actually, the evergreens were already planted when they got there – one tree for each country in APEC, each with a little pile of dirt and a shovel next to it.’

The result was ‘a little future forest of eight-foot evergreens along a path of astro-turf.’

Photos show the president smirking as he grips a shovel and plunges it into a symbolic pile of dirt.

Russia’s president, by contrast, swaggered to his tree,’ according to the pool report.

And Obama ‘walked up with his hands clasped behind his back.’

After the tree ‘planting,’ Obama was heard telling a fellow head of state: ‘Success!’

The laid-back president took a moment to banter with a Spanish-language camera crew who called for his attention.

‘Hey, hombre!’ he shouted with a wave.
