Who is this guy? I'm glad he's apparently at least giving some serious thought to serious issues. (Not a lot of that apparent on the campaign trail.)

President Barack Obama said Donald Trump told him he can assure European leaders the U.S. won’t back off its commitments to the NATO alliance under the Republican president-elect.
Obama also said during an hour-long news conference on Monday that he doubts Trump would go through with a campaign promise to scrap the Iran nuclear deal.
The president is preparing to depart for meetings with European leaders in Greece and Germany and with Asian and Pacific leaders in Peru, where he’ll assure foreign leaders the billionaire real-estate developer will be ready to lead the free world by his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Just over a week ago, Obama said Trump couldn’t be trusted with the U.S. nuclear codes. Describing Trump as more pragmatist than ideologue, Obama, who met with the president-elect at the White House last Thursday, made the case that the turn the U.S. takes in international diplomacy might not be as sharp as the Republican’s campaign rhetoric suggested.
He added that Trump might even rethink a campaign pledge to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement the Obama administration negotiated.
