I see two issues. One he has no limits to how, when, where and to what ends he will play the political "game". He is trying to avoid having a controversial subject in the lime light during his campaign. Does raise the question of what else is being suppressed to make him look good (or not any worse?) before the election.
Secondly he is advertising he will deal with unpopular policy after his re-election....because he will be able to do what ever he wants, as a lame duck POTUS, that accomplishes his agenda, whether the people like it or not. This tactic in and of itself should be of concern for Americans, to the point he is brazen enough about it to go on international record, telegraphing such intentions, should he be re-elected.
At least two red flags being waved in the face of we the people.

Billie, I don't disagree with you. But how much of the way the POTUS is conducting the affairs of the White House is the result of a Congress having been mired for years in totally unproductive and vitriolic partisan disagreement?
We have a government that doesn't work and a President who has simply given up on the idea of investing any more time trying to deal with the partisan idealogues in the Congress. He seems to be going his own way, utilizing the considerable power and authority of the executive branch. Not only isn't he talking with the Republicans, he dosen't talk to the leaders of his own party either! Neither side has shown any evidence of being willing to compromise on their disparate ideologies to govern in the interest of the country.
In my opinion, Congress's inability and unwillingness to participate in the governance of the country is partly, if not wholly, the cause of what we see happening.
