Here’s What Obama Thinks About Trump [Video]

Obama has thrown a few opinions around this weekend and he is gently putting people in their place.

It seems this past weekend was Obama’s time to lay down the law on the USA’s future presidents. Although the PROTUS gave a tongue-in-cheek set of supportive pointers for Kanye West, he wasn’t too fair on Trump. In an interview Obama did on CBS television’s “60 Minutes ” news programme was succinct in his opinion on Trump’s election campaign antics:

He knows how to get attention. He is, you know, the classic reality TV character, and at this early stage, it’s not surprising that he’s gotten a lot of attention. I don’t think he’ll end up being president of the United States.

In the same interview, Obama was asked about the remaining 15 months he has left in the White House:

I think having a fresh set of legs in this seat, I think having a fresh perspective, new personnel and new ideas — and a new conversation with the American people about issues that may be different a year from now than they were when I started eight years ago — I think that’s all good for our democracy. I think it’s healthy.

On the one hand, I am very proud of what we’ve accomplished and it makes me think, I’d love to do some more. But by the time I’m finished, I think it will be time for me to go.

What a great chap.
