Obama: Trump's rigged election claim 'whining before the game's even over'

Source: CNN

"He's already whining before the games even over," Obama said Tuesday during a news conference in the White House Rose Garden, adding that Trump's claim is "not based on facts."

Trump is not a joke. He is stirring up a bunch of dangerous radicals and making every day leading up to this election more painful than the last and more embarrassing for us as a country. This is amazing strategy right before the debate though. Should leave him "unshackled" and unhinged for the debate.

We all know there's NO WAY Trump will resist taking President Obama's bait. The only way Trump won't bite is if his pathetic campaign keeps him from hearing any of this.

Excellent work by President Obama!

Your incessant whining and your obstruction of decency and democracy is not a healthy or winning strategy. Try some honesty, courage and fair-mindedness for a change. You might find you like it. Americans certainly would.

He won't allow it to happen, and the notion that the election is rigged, helps him sleep better at night.

It seems that it was only a few months ago that he was claiming the Republican Primaries were 'rigged'; then he won, bigly, and never mentioned it again. #Sad.

Get that orangetop clown all stirred up in advance of the debate, and watch him fly apart on live TV.

Absolutely perfect!

Trump may actually end up scaring away some of his own base who may feel that the fix is in so why wast their time voting.

With the writing on the wall for Donald, many may regard the process so rigged, that not only will they see no point in voting, they see no choice but to cause a shit storm the day after the election. Or even on election day. And demand "their country back"!!!

In the extreme. tRump is unique in presidential politics. He is clearly unsuited and unfit for office in a manner no major party candidate ever has been. That is why I think the President has interjected himself in this manner. It's not partisan, it's the right thing to do.

It is the right thing to do and I'm glad the President isn't staying silent on the Orange Anus.
