Obama: Trump's refusal to accept the results shows how divided the nation is

Former president of the United States, Barack Obama, says the election results, with both candidates receiving the most 70 million votes each, show that the nation is still divided, which is not a good sign for democracy.

What it says is that we are still deeply divided. The power of that alternative world view presented in the media that those voters consume has a lot of weight”, he said in an interview for CBS, writes CNN.

When asked if he was concerned about it, Obama replied: “

We remember that the 44th president held his active role by campaigning for Joe Biden, his deputy chairman, saying the circumstances guaranteed what publicly criticised his successor -- something that doesn't usually happen.

For the importance of a peaceful transition, Obama said, “is a temporary job. We're not above the rules. We are not above the law. That's the essence of our democracy. ”
