Met for a podcast, Obama recommended regardless he holds enough influence over the coalition of voters that chose him twice to inspire them to vote in favor of him by and by.
"I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it," Obama told his previous White House consultant, David Axelrod, in a podcast discharged Monday.
Trump, normally, oppose this idea. He took to his favored medium — Twitter — to offer his response.
"President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY!" Trump composed.
He proposed Obama's record would have kept him from securing a triumph, referring to employments that have left the U.S., issues with Obama's Affordable Care Act and the continuous risk postured by the Islamic State gather as cases.
The White House declined to remark on Trump's tweet.
In the podcast, Obama didn't address whether he would have possessed the capacity to surmount the deterrent that the Electoral College postured for Hillary Clinton. The Democrat neglected to secure a larger part of constituent votes in spite of winning the well known vote by millions.
However Obama said he's addressed individuals over the U.S. who have let him know the bearing he sought after "is the right one," a conclusion he said stretches out even to a few people"who disagreed with me."

He and Trump have talked routinely by telephone, and Trump has lauded his antecedent for the benevolence with which he's took care of the procedure.
In any case, as of late, purposes of pressure between their two groups have begun to rise, driven by Trump's picks of Cabinet chosen people who have promised to disassemble quite a bit of what Obama has fulfilled. The Obama organization has likewise been unnerved by solicitations from Trump's group for data they dread could be utilized to attempt to distinguish and afterward dispense with civil servants who have chipped away at Obama needs like environmental change and ladies' rights abroad.

Be that as it may, Obama has said regardless of the possibility that there weren't term limits for presidents, he trusts it's essential for the nation to have a change of administration following eight years. He's additionally recommended his better half, first woman Michelle Obama, would have had little persistence for a third term in the White House.
