Obama slaps down Donald Trump with a dismissive retort for his rigged election claim (VIDEO)

President Obama was not kind to Donald Trump as he made him look like a petulant spoiled kid claiming election rigging.



The President slammed Donald Trump for whining about the vote rigging fallacy before the election is even over. He called him out as defying our values. He shamed Trump with the following:

Whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else? So then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job. Because there are a lot of times things doesn’t go our way or my way. That’s okay. You fight through it. You work through it. You try to accomplish your goals.

The larger point that I want to emphasize here is that there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections. In part because they are so decentralized. And the number of votes involved. There is no evidence that that has happened in the past. Or that there are instances in which that would happen this time.


And so I would advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.
I could not have said it any better Mr. President.
