President Obama lashed out at Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that the Republican nominee’s insistence that the election was being rigged undermines the country’s democratic traditions and demonstrates that he is not fit for the White House.

Obama accused Trump of “whining before the game is even over” and described Trump’s remarks as “unprecedented.”

“I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place,” Obama said.

Obama, who was appearing at a joint news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, initially said he was reluctant to criticize Trump in such a setting. “I’m going to be a little more subdued in my discussions of the Republican nominee in this context than I might be on the campaign trail,” Obama said.

But the president, clearly troubled by Trump’s claims of a fixed election, quickly decided not to hold back. He described Trump’s allegations as a threat to American democracy and to the“integrity and trust” of the country’s civic institutions.[/quote]
