This is Obama's nature.
And for many of us (his supporters) it drives us crazy at times. Too often he was diplomatic with republicans, that tactic didn't work, they lost respect for him.
I think he's trying to map a way for Trump to reset.
But does Trump just want to be Trump?
I think so, today he was tweeting/bitching about not winning the popular vote. Claiming if the election was won on the popular vote he would have campaigned more in NY Florida & CA & won that too.
He is a knee jerk, overly sensitive, overgrown child in an adult body...

DO SOMETHING!
