Trump’s claim is as “unprecedented” as this administration is the most transparent and accountable in history.

Obama’s obviously decided to try and leave America laughing (and scrambling to find new insurance plans).

During a press conference today with the Italian prime minister, President Obama added to his legacy of a comical lack of self-awareness:

Speaking of the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power after presidential elections, Mr. Obama said, “That’s how democracy survives.”

“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,” Mr. Obama said. “It’s unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts.”

Really?
