What does Obama plan to do after leaving the White House?
Trump's plans upon taking office completely disrupted the retirement plans of outgoing President Barack Obama.
Obama had pledged to facilitate a smooth transition of power. However, as his departure date of January 20th approached, Obama found it increasingly difficult to avoid conflicts and disagreements with his successor, President Donald Trump.
However, since Obama has announced his intention to step back, the outgoing president's next move may not be as politically involved as that of former President Jimmy Carter, who rebuilt his image as a senior politician after his White House tenure.

Returning to the "profession" of writing books:
After leaving the White House, Obama will take a vacation and dedicate time to writing an autobiography. According to what he shared on CNN, Obama will "write a book and analyze his time as President," but not from a political perspective, but rather from an introspective one.
Obama spent 21 years diligently writing books, from his first book, "Dreams from My Father," in 1995, to "Change We Can Believe in," before entering the White House in 2008. Writing and selling these books earned him $15 million. His posthumous memoir is expected to be even more successful.
The person who will inspire the next generation of Democratic leaders:
However, Obama is expected to return to politics soon if his successor, President Donald Trump, decides to enact legislation to closely monitor Muslims or deport adults who have been brought to the US by their parents for many years. Obama has stated that he will actively speak out against President-elect Trump's policies because, after leaving the White House, he will still be "a citizen with his rights and responsibilities."
Meanwhile, Obama's close associates, who had been planning vacations or starting private sector investments, are also reorienting their futures and may well return to politics.
It could be said that Obama's political foundation has prepared him for a post-White House political role in nurturing a generation of idealistic young people for the future.
Immediately after learning the results of the November 2016 presidential election, Obama announced his post-White House plan would be to rebuild the Democratic Party, which had lost its majority in both houses of Congress. He also hoped to create "the next Barack and Michelle Obama," or in other words, to train and mentor a new wave of politicians.
