President Obama on Tuesdayscolded Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for claiming that the November election was being “rigged” in favor of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Obama said Trump’s attempt to “discredit the elections” was “unprecedented” for a major party candidate, and that the charge was “based on no facts.” Trump has accused the media of trying to tip the scales for Clinton, and said that fraud would take place at some polling places. Trump has tumbled in polls since the release of a hot-mic recording in which he bragged about groping and kissing women without their consent. Obama said Trump should “stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”
