Barack Obama Called Not To Underestimate Trump
In his final television interview as US President Barack Obama ahead of the inauguration of Donald Trump, warning Americans to not "underestimate the guy," ABC News reports.
On the occasion he warned Americans not to "underestimate the guy", and urged congressional Republicans and Trump's supporters around the country to be sure "that as we go forward, certain norms, certain institutional traditions don't get eroded, because there's a reason they're in place".
Obama noted it had been an "unusual" transition, adding, "I suspect the President-elect would agree with that".
"We are moving into an era where a lot of people get their information through tweets and soundbites and some headline that comes over their phone," Mr Obama said.
"There's a power in that. There's also a danger — what generates a headline or stirs up a controversy and gets attention isn't the same as the process required to actually solve the problem."
