In Barack Obama's latest interview with 60 Minutes, he gave his opinion on how Trump should be dealing with his loss.
And he didn't hold back in the slightest!
Barack Obama has recently opened up about his opinion on how Trump has handled the election results...
And we all know that this isn't exactly something that former presidents typically do!But Obama clearly felt it was necessary to speak out...
And for a very big reason.Many of his interviews about the 2020 election have caused a stir, however...
Just hours before calling Trump out for refusing to congratulate Biden, Obama caused a stir online for claiming Trump's "election fraud" claims were phony. And it caused a giant reaction from both sides online...Now, Trump has been claiming there's evidence of election fraud for well over a week now...
Because as you will all be aware, the president suffered a colossal loss to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, for this year's presidential election.Of course, Trump has been doing everything in his power to challenge the result...
The evidence has shown that he has resorted to downright denying the election and its results.It seems as though Trump was clearly feeling the heat throughout the entire election...

As the counts went underway, he tried to temporarily stop vote-counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania, States where Joe Biden was projected to win.But, regardless of his many threats, the results were in after 4 long days of ballot counting.

The Associated Press called the race for Biden when Pennsylvania's twenty electoral votes put him over the 270-vote threshold needed to win the Electoral College.Democrats all over the country quickly rejoiced at the news of Biden's historic win...
We just learned that Joe Biden has been elected 46th President of the United States, New York can’t stop cheering.… https://t.co/8mPwgcn0tx— Quentin A. Alexandre (@Quentin A. Alexandre)1604767345.0
However, Trump's reaction to Biden's win has been nothing short of outrageous.

Though the president is a historically sore loser - he's very rarely had to admit defeat ever in his life - and has long made wild accusations against the Biden campaign team, people simply cannot believe his refusal to accept what has happened.His first response to Biden's win was to release a lengthy and damning statement...
And the frenzied Twitter rants were quick to follow.
In his rage, Trump took to the social media platform to dispute the result further, insisting that he was the one to have won.He tried to take some small victory from the situation...
And proudly Tweeted that he received a record-breaking number of votes.However, more damning accusations were quick to follow...
Trump seems set on the idea that Biden and his team rigged the entire election to play out in their favor, and made strong hints that something happened in the counting rooms that had "never happened before."A lot of people haven't been happy with Trump's reaction.
Trump's flexibility has never been his forte. 🤔 #TrumpSoreLoser #TrumpMeltdown https://t.co/jGtBgLKYv5— Laure Om (@Laure Om)1604933547.0
It's been almost 2 weeks now...
Well, it seems only 3% of Americans that took a recent poll would back him up on that.
Reuters and Ipsos recently conducted a study in which they found out some pretty interesting facts and people have had mixed opinions, to say the least! So, according to the people they surveyed, only 3% of them think that Donald Trump won the election, while a whopping eighty percent of people who took part believe Biden won.But here's the weirdest part:
The results actually found a split between Republicans and Democrats, with approximately 6 in 10 Republicans seeing Biden as the winner, compared to almost every single Democrat seeing Biden as the new president.The poll also asked the question: Should Trump "concede defeat?"
In which seventy-two percent of the 1,363 US adults that took part answered "yes."And you know who else is backing that idea? Barack Obama, of course.
The former president decided to speak out on the current issue of "voter fraud" during an interview with 60 Minutes in which he told Scott Pelley that he's deeply troubled by Republicans that believe Trump."They appear to be motivated, in part, because the president doesn't like to lose and never admits loss," he said.
He emphasized that it was concerning that they would go along with his unfounded claims of election fraud, putting democracy on a "dangerous path."Here's exactly what he said:
"I'm more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. It is one more step in delegitimizing not just the incoming Biden administration, but democracy generally. And that's a dangerous path."He also said Trump should have conceded straight away...
I can't stop thinking about how, as soon as the writing was on the wall, Hilary called Trump to concede. And then O… https://t.co/27Z2NdttFz— Travis Rieder (@Travis Rieder)1605209028.0
