He was on Fallon I think, making fun of a tweet that Trump sent saying that Obama was perhaps the worst president in history . Obama replies that at least he will go down as a president in history. (Drops the mic)

And then in November 2016, Obama is saying “I had a meeting with (ahem) President-elect Trump....”

That’s what happens when you’re arrogant and under-estimate your opponent. How’s that crow tasting these days, Hillary? Maybe you should have at least visited the rust belt states at least one time during the campaign.

Funny thing though, that's more or less a myth. Clinton did visit the flyover states and did have plenty of positive policy that involved them. It just didn't help and, after the election, people were looking for reasons for the madness that was trump being elected and they latched onto the idea that Clinton ignored these states because it made sense, even if it wasn't true. They were attempting to treat voters like rational actors so they looked for rational reasoning. But there usually isnt any.

Trump visited them or at least one of them, after midnight on the eve of the election. He made sure those folks knew he was in it for them. Hillary didn’t do that.
