Back in January, President Barack Obama said the closest he could imagine Donald Trump to making a State of the Union address would be delivering the speech in a “Saturday Night Live” skit.

In one of the tweets, Trump quoted a surrogate critical of Obama’s attitude towards the candidate’s promise to make members of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation pay more for the defense of Europe.
“Anything is possible”, Obama told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Tuesday when asked if the Russians would try to influence the November 8 election.
Following the president’s optimistic speech – in which Obama defended his record, slammed Trump as an unworthy successor to the office and endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as someone who has always “been there for us, even if we haven’t always noticed” – Trump sent out just two tweets.
“Anything is possible”, Obama said. I’ve seen all kinds of insane stuff happen. “What we do think [is] that it makes it hard to run the country – not just for me but for Republican leaders”.
“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 because you know, one of the dangers in an election like this is that people don’t take the challenge seriously”, Obama said.

“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”, Efe news quoted the President as saying. “They stay home. And we end up getting the unexpected”.
