Asked by “Today” host Savannah Guthrie if Obama is “worried” about a possible Trump victory, Obama said he’s “seen all kinds of insane stuff happen” in his political career.

“So, my advice to Democrats – and I don’t have to give this advice to Hillary Clinton, because she already knows it – is you stay anxious until all those votes are cast and counted”, Obama said. But these days, the President won’t rule anything out. “And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people”.
He also suggested that the closest Mr Trump would get to being president would be in a comedy skit.
President Barack Obama changed his tune on Donald Trump, finally admitting that the New Yorker may be elected president.
“In his press conferences and the Republican debates, Trump has shown he lacks a “basic knowledge about the world, or what a nuclear triad is, or where various countries are, or, you know, the difference between Sunni and Shia in the Muslim world”, the US President said. But until those votes are cast and until the American people have their say, we don’t know”, Obama said.
“They stay home. And we end up getting the unexpected”.
Trump has tweeted his surprise at Malik Obama’s stance: “Was probably treated badly by president – like everybody else!”
“Clinton is not honest because she says that she did not reveal any classified information, and she did”. What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin.

In a previous interview Malik, who has several wives, said he backed Trump’s opposition to same-sex marriage. “And I think they recognize that being president is a serious job”.
