In a softball exclusive interview with President Obama conducted on Tuesday and aired on Wednesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie teed up the Democratic commander-in-chief to blast Republican nominee Donald Trump: “Hillary Clinton says that Trump is most dangerous candidate ever to run for president. On this very specific issue, do you personally find it frightening the prospect of him having the nuclear codes?”
Obama replied: “Set aside the nuclear codes, what I think is scary is a president who doesn't know their stuff and doesn't seem to have an interest in learning what they don't know.” Guthrie followed up: “And do you think of Trump that way?” Obama stayed on the attack: “...basic knowledge about the world or what a nuclear triad is, or where various countries are or, you know, the different between Sunni and Shia in the Muslim world, those are things that he doesn't know and hasn't seemed to spend a lot of time trying to find out about.”
