Former President Barack Obama is in discussions with Netflix to produce a series of shows, the New York Times reported Thursday night.

The deal is not yet final, and the New York Times had limited details on what the shows would entail. Obama would not use the series to respond to President Donald Trump, but Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, have discussed using the shows to tell inspirational stories, according to the New York Times.

Barack Obama could spend one show discussing issues he addressed as President, such as health care, and Michelle Obama may use a show to discuss nutrition, according to the New York Times.

  1. He 's just trolling you-know-who ?

  2. Better to make an educational series on Civics, targeted to teens. Co-hosted by Boehner.

  3. Love! Trolling 44.5 with policy discussions would be awesome. Using the platform for fluff pieces would be a total waste. Great ratings!

  4. As if Dotard didn’t have enough to tweet about this weekend already.

  5. Avatar for mrf mrf says:

    Dotard would find a way to have the Russians hack it.
