Former U.S. president @BarackObama says U.S.-Canada relations "can be mended relatively quickly” in Trump's aftermath.

. @BarackObama said Trump’s presidency has fanned rhetoric “that somehow there's real Americans and then there are people who, I guess, are fake Americans."

"And somehow, the fake Americans tend to look like me." https://twitter.com/cbcradio/status/1330562175321174017

. @BarackObama says there were “outsized expectations” of his presidency, but in politics “you are rarely going to get 100% of what you want.”

“Sometimes your supporters feel as if you're going to wave a wand and it's all going to get done,” he said.

“And it's not possible.”

Obama said he misses the team work and "mental exercise of figuring out hard policy problems," but not the pomp of the presidency.

He might have enjoyed a third term if someone said “you can sit in your basement in your sweats” just doing the policy work. https://twitter.com/cbcradio/status/1330662345056677888
