Obama says he would have beaten Trump Tower heist netflix.

President Obama said in an interview released Monday that he was 'confident' he would have beaten President-elect Donald Trump in November if he could have run for a third term. Obama praised his fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton and said she had faced unfair attacks, but that she campaigned too cautiously out of a belief that she was certain to beat Trump. 'If you think you're winning, then you have a tendency, just like in sports, maybe to play it safer,' Obama said to his former adviser David Axelrod for his The Axe Files podcast. Obama said Clinton's defeat was not a rejection of his legacy. Trump responded via Twitter, saying, 'I say NO WAY! — jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.' [The Washington Post]
