Obama on Trump: ‘Don’t underestimate the guy, because he’s going to be 45th president of the US’
Yahoo! News ^ | January 15, 2017 | Dylan Stableford, senior editor

President Obama says President-elect Donald Trump was an “unconventional candidate” who ran an “improvisational campaign.” But he doesn’t think that approach will work in the White House.

In an interview that aired on “60 Minutes” Sunday, Obama was asked if it’s possible for Trump to run “an improvisational presidency.”

“I don’t think so,” Obama said. “And so now he’s in the process of building up an organization. And we’ll have to see how that works. And it’ll be a test, I think, for him and the people that he’s designated to be able to execute on his vision.”

But Obama says it would be a mistake to “underestimate the guy, because he — he’s going to be 45th president of the United States.”

“The one thing I’ve said to him directly, and I would advise my Republican friends in Congress and supporters around the country, is just make sure that as we go forward, certain norms, certain institutional traditions don’t get eroded,” Obama said. “Because there’s a reason they’re in place.”(continued)

I wonder how many of these "conversations" he had with Trump are real and how many were things he wanted to say to him but was intimidated by the larger man?

Actually Trump will become the 45th president in 4 days, and 13 hours.

Not that I’m counting or anything. :D

Not only is he going to be the President in 4 days and 13 hours, but he is going to wipe out most of the damage caused by the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Without the help of the GOP who did help put the ineligible one in office.

The natural born citizen clause had a very good reason to be put in the Constitution.

Barack Hussein Obama is the proof.

Improvisation? No.

Getting inside your and the press's OODA loop just like you've been getting inside the lethargically slow Republican's loop for decades? Oh, emphatically yes! And beating you at the left's Rules for Radicals, too.

Hey, jocko, blowing up the BS in DC and the Imperial Presidency and all the BS pomp and circumstance is WHY we elected President Trump!

Well said, indeed.
