President Donald Trump didn't hold back during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly and it appears to have left one of his top staff members in disbelief.

"The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," Trump said during his speech. "Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime."

Trump's words seemed to be too much for White House chief of staff John Kelly, who was reportedly holding his head in his hand during the president's speech. Looking like he made a facepalm during Trump's speech, Twitter couldn't hold back from commenting on Kelly.

"John Kelly apparently went through some sort of existential crisis during Trump's speech," tweeted Kyle Feldscher, breaking news editor at the Washington Examiner.

Tasnee Nashrulla, a reporter for Buzzfeed, noted it wasn't the first time that Kelly appeared to be in disbelief during one of Trump's speeches.

Kelly was photographed sitting behind First Lady Melania Trump during the president's speech. People and the Washington Examiner are among the outlets reporting Kelly hid his face during the speech.

Trump's 41-minute speech featured a lot of focus on North Korea and what could happen if things escalate between America and Kim Jong-un's regime. He also focused on Iran.

"We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program," Trump said during his speech. "The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States, and I don't think you've heard the last of it. Believe me."
