Trump says he would ‘easily’ beat ‘highly overrated’ Obama

President Trump claimed in a new interview that he could “easily” beat former President Obama in a political match-up, days after Republicans experienced sweeping losses in the midterm elections. 

“I got many more votes than he got, and I got many more votes in the states,” Trump told “Straight Shooter” host Stephen A. Smith in a sit-down interview at the White House. 

“And I have the most of the state records of the big states,” he continued. “If you take a look at Texas, I have the all-time record. Florida, I have the all-time record.”

When pressed by Smith about whether he thought he could “beat Obama,” the president replied, “I think I could beat him easily.”

“I think he’s highly overrated, yeah,” he added.

Coons: "Jensen Huang gave I think $26m to the Trump administration that's publicly known. If the Trump administration was in bed with Nvidia, and the CEO was in bed with a Chinese spy, and that has real consequences for our national security, I think that's something well worth investigation."
