Note to readers: “60 Minutes Presents: Barack Obama: Eight Years in the White House” aired on Jan. 15, 2017.

President Barack Obama says the presidential campaign of Donald Trump was “improvisational,” but he doesn’t think the president-elect can be improvisational in office.  Instead, Trump is now facing the real test of whether he and the people he brings into his administration can execute his vision, Obama tells Steve Kroft in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on CBS.

The interview with Kroft, Obama’s last appearance on network television in a presidential interview, will be part of “60 Minutes Presents: Barack Obama: Eight Years in the White House.”  The hour-long program will also follow the 44th president’s journey through his own words in the 60 Minutes interviews he did with Kroft, beginning when Obama declared his candidacy in 2007, through the elections and the milestones of his eight years in the White House.
