Obama Jokes With Jimmy Kimmel: ‘We Can Always Send the Navy SEALs’ To Get Someone Out of the WH

Former President Barack Obama jokingly has a suggestion for a way to get President Donald Trump out of the White House if he refuses to leave, following Joe Biden being projected the winner of the presidential election.

Obama was jokingly asked during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” if there are places in the White House “where someone could hide” if they knew “they were going to be removed,” as host Jimmy Kimmel asked.

“Are there cubby holes or anything that you know about?” Kimmel continued.

Obama answered, “Well, I think we can always send the Navy SEALs in there to dig ‘em out.”

The former president also said he did not feel he was premature in congratulating Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris on their victory, “No, I thought I was right on time. There seems to be some lag.”

He went on to say, “The communication system in the White House used to be better. It was real-time, you know, there’s a lot of computers there that actually tell you what is going on around the world.”

Asked if it will be weird to call Biden “Mr. President” — as Biden was his vice president in his administration — but Obama said, “No. I’ve already called him Mr. President-elect.”
