President Barack Obama on Tuesday downplayed Donald Trump's suggestion that November's election is "rigged," and said the GOP presidential nominee needs to toughen up.

"I'd advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and try to go make his case to get votes," Obama said at a White House news conference alongside Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

"If whenever things are going badly for you, you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job," Obama continued. "There are a lot of time things don't go our way or my way … that's OK, you fight through it."

Obama on Tuesday said he would reserve more scathing remarks against Trump for the campaign trail, but insisted that American elections can't be rigged because the process for voting for president is "so decentralized."

"One way of weakening America is if you start betraying those basic American traditions that have been bipartisan and have helped hold together this democracy for well over two centuries," Obama added.

I'm going to miss Obama. Ugh.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Need a video of this.

 

[Htown]

I'm sure Obama was beyond sick of Trump's bullshit years ago.

 

[jelly]

Sounds better in Arnie's voice.

 

[johnsmith]

So what Obama is saying is that Trump is a whiny little bitch.

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Awesome, you da man!

Edit:

Missing this gem:

And by the way....it doesn't really show the kind of leadership and toughness you want out of a president. You start whining before the games even over? If whenever things are going badly for you, and you lose you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job.

god emperor obama

 

[friskykillface]

Why does Obama have to go

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Trumps acting like any sports fans about the refs .

 

[commedieu]

Go home and be a bad business man.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I suppose this sort of thing is to strengthen the resolve of the moderate voter because I can't see anything changing the mind of Trump supporters.

Those clothes look like something out of Star Wars. Might be the lighting.

Go home and be a bad business man.

And a deplorable family man.

 

[shintoki]

I agreed, those damn little kids wouldn't vote for Clinton otherwise.

 

[Killer Queen]

Can we just have Obama till he passes away

 

[Cyan]

Good shit. I'd generally try to avoid using the Washington Times as a source, though.

Yep you are right

 

[Trigonometrize.]

It's a shame POTUS isn't respected more. Being mocked by Obama should be massively humiliating, but I'm sure Trump and supporters will shrug it off as Democratic propaganda and slander.

 

[Dishwalla]

Even Bill O Reilly told Trump to stop whining when he was on Colbert last night.

 

[cubicle47b]

I disagree that our elections can't be rigged, but yeah, Obama is on a roll.

Fuck he made that outfit look good. Goddamn I wish I had it like that.

 

[old manatee]

Tough but fair. Reminds me of the time he called out Matt Damon for The Adjustment Bureau. Magic fedoras give me a break.

He IS respected. Just not by racist assholes.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Just take the L Trump.

 

[thelatestmodel]

So beautiful. What a boss.

 

[eagledare]

I'm pretty sure history will show Obama to be one of the best presidents we've ever had. I miss the dude already.

Blame FDR

 

[Biske]

Obama is complicit in the rigged election. Confirmed.

It's impressive how he convinced republicans who love him and support him so much and are in the vast majority of states the people in charge of running the elections, to rig it against themselves and Continually elect presidents they just really and truly adore.

 

[kswiston]

I disagree that our elections can't be rigged, but yeah, Obama is on a roll.

They can't be rigged on the macro-scale that Trump has been hinting at.

You still have the potential for another 2000 Florida result, but that rigging was only made possible by the fact that the state was extremely close to begin with (and Florida was the tipping point for electoral votes).

 

[RPGCrazied]

Preach. And that is exactly what Trump is doing. Whining like a little bitch, and it 2/3 weeks I hope we never have to hear from you again, certainly not 24/7.

 

[i3allistic]

lol, not a damn giving anymore ....he bout to be out this bitch

 

[Biske]

To rig our elections you would need so many fucking people involved on so many levels in multiple states that it would be damn near impossible to keep secret.



It's why actual "rigging" revolves around gerrymandering districts to include the right number of voters on your side and then you just let them vote naturally.


Seriously get a job as a poll worker or working during the election and you'll see what a god damn pain in the ass it would be. So many people and checks and observers.

I so wish somebody could have put the time to fix that image like I did.

 

[MontyMarx]

Obama is just pissed because he's realized there is no way he can win the election.

Sore loser.

 

[Sushi Nao]

This is going to increase the pouting 9000x

 

[RPGCrazied]

This is going to increase the pouting 9000x

You know he is going to attack Obama for this. Calling him an incompetent President.

 

[SolidSnakex]

You know he is going to attack Obama for this. Calling him an incompetent President.

He's already been whining about Obama campaigning for Hillary.

 

[slider]

Has there been any comment/coverage on whether Obama would like to continue if it was constitutionally possible?

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm going to miss him

 

[AndyD]

Has there been any comment/coverage on whether Obama would like to continue if it was constitutionally possible?

A year or two ago he said he is glad he can move on because he wants more time with his family. That said, nothing like that would be discussed this close to the election, as it would fuel crazy conspiracy theories unnecessarily.

I still distinctly remember '08 and people saying "he's going to be dictator, get in there and change the law so he can be President forever..."

 

[rokkerkory]

thanks obama!

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Has there been any comment/coverage on whether Obama would like to continue if it was constitutionally possible?

Yes and he blamed Michelle. Which is code for no.
