In his last interview as commander-in-chief, set to air this Sunday evening, President Barack Obama told 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft not to "underestimate" President-elect Donald Trump. "Look, he's an unconventional candidate," Obama said in a clip that aired Friday on CBS This Morning. "I don't think there's anybody who's run a campaign like his successfully in modern history." The outgoing president also described Trump's campaign as "improvisational," but told Kroft that he did not believe it would be possible to run such "an improvisational presidency."

1. I think these are wise words

while there's no point in giving Trump too much credit due to the media's bias and foreign interference, Comey, etc, the Trump campaign was still more effective than people expected.

I think it's a known strategy to project incompetence lower people's guards and to cover up what they are really doing. For instance, I think the Bush administration did this around 9/11.

Real criminals work behind curtains.
