The out going American president, Barack Obama covers thr latest edition of "Rolling Stone Magazine" for his 10th time.

Barack was speaking with the magazine's longtime editor-in-chief Jann Wenner for his fourth time as he speaks on Donald Trump winning the Presidential election ahead of Hillary Clinton.

"Probably the main reason that I don't feel dismayed, but do feel disappointed, is the incredible young people who have worked in my administration, worked on our campaigns," he said. 

"If you look at the data from the election, if it were just young people who were voting, Hillary would have gotten 500 electoral votes. So we have helped, I think, shape a generation to think about being inclusive, being fair, caring about the environment. And they will have growing influence year by year, which means that America over time will continue to get better."

The president further gave reasons why Donald Trump won the election, as he admitted that Democratic Party "not working at a grassroots level" shaped the election results.

He gave Trump some advises, one of which he stated the presidency isn't about him (Trump) but on the rich history of America which has been passed on from one generation to another.

In Obama's words: "I think the main thing that I will say to him is, number one, however you campaigned, once you're in this office, you are part of a legacy dating back to those first Revolutionaries. And this amazing experiment in democracy has to be tended. So aside from any particular issue, the president needs to recognize that this is not about you. This is not about your power, your position or the perks, the Marine band. This is about this precious thing that we’ve inherited and that we want to pass on. And for me at least, that means you surround yourself with really good people, that you spend time learning and understanding what these issues are because they really actually have an impact on people. They're not games that we're playing. And that to the best of your ability, you're making the decisions that you think are right for the American people – even when they're not popular, even when they're not expedient. And the satisfaction you get from that is that when you leave this place, you can feel like you've been true to this immense privilege and responsibility that’s been given to you."
