Obama Warns Trump: If You're Not Serious About The Presidency, You Probably Won't Be There Very Long
Business Insider ^ | November 18, 2016 | Allan Smith

President Barack Obama explained why he's cautiously optimictic about President-elect Donald Trump during a Thursday press conference in Germany alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Obama said the "solemn responsibility" of the office and the "extraordinary demands" made on the United States "demands seriousness," and Trump will "figure out pretty fast" that the demands of the job are "not things you can treat casually."

"And, if you're not serious about the job, then you probably won't be there very long because it will expose problems," he said. "Even when you're doing a good job, even when you are attentive. There are so many things that come across your desk."

The president also acknowledged that Trump's victory was "perhaps" the biggest upset in modern political history.

Supporters? He needs to worry about himself, he knew Hillary was using a private email and even sent her messages from his own private alias. I think there are a host of other things he did like releasing $$ to Iran and undermining our allies while aiding the Muslim Brotherhood, not to mention his whereabouts on 9/11 when Benghazi was over run.

What Obama said:
“And, if you’re not serious about the job, then you probably won’t be there very long because it will expose problems”

What Obama meant:
“If you’re not serious about the job, you better have the entire media on your side to spin every story in your favor or you won’t be there very long”

At his age it’s certainly possible that Trump might not want to be there for eight years.After three years,having experienced great victories in Congress,he just might hand over to Mike Pence.

I hope the governors of states from which Trump is selecting Repub senators for his cabinets are on board with replacing them with other good. Republicans.
