Trump should concede and put country above his own ego: Obama

TIL Desk/World/Moscow/ Barack Obama has called on Donald Trump to concede the US election, urging him to put the good of the country above his own ego and self-interest.

On the day that Trump tweeted from the White House that he had no plans to do any such thing, and claimed without evidence the vote was rigged, his predecessor delivered a scathing attack on him, saying his actions were damaging the country.

A president is a public servant. They are temporary occupants of the office, by design. And when your time is up then it is your job to put the country first and think beyond your own ego, and your own interests, and your own disappointments, he said, speaking on CBSs 60 Minutes.

My advice to President Trump is, if you want at this late stage in the game to be remembered as somebody who put country first, it’s time for you to do the same thing.
