Obama says he 'would’ve enjoyed campaigning against Trump'

Ever imagine what an Barack Obama-Donald Trump campaign would be like? President Obama apparently has and discusses that and more in a GQ interview with HBO's Bill Simmons published Tuesday morning.

The president, asked by Simmons whether he would "even bother" campaigning in a hypothetical match-up against the billionaire real estate developer, said he "would’ve enjoyed campaigning against Trump."

"That would’ve been fun," Obama added.

Obama, a Harvard law grad and former constitutional law professor, was also asked whether he'd be interested in serving on the Supreme Court after leaving the White House.

The president acknowledged that "good judges are really important," but said the job wasn't for him.

"I don’t have the temperament to sit in relative solitude and just opine and write from the bench," Obama said. "I want to be in the action a little bit more."

Naturally, Simmons -- until this year an ESPN columnist and founder of the now defunct website Grantland -- also asked Obama about sports, including the star of his beloved Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose.

"I’ve not given up on him," the president said of the of the oft-injured guard. "Sadly, I think it’s hard to imagine, after that many injuries, him getting back to his MVP-season performance. But he can still be a top-ten point guard."
