Barack Obama has defended his legacy as President of the United States, saying he thinks America has become more tolerant and diverse during his time in office and he could have defeated Donald Trump had he been able to run for a third term.
He also suggested that the Democratic candidate who did run, Hillary Clinton, played it too safe when it looked like she was winning.
The President was speaking to his former chief strategist and senior adviser David Axelrod, now a political commentator for CNN, for his podcast The Axe Files.
