Obama tells Trump to concede: ‘Think beyond your own ego’
Former United States (US) President Barack Obama has laid into his successor, Donald Trump, calling on him to do what the world has been waiting for – concede the election.
In an interview with CBS, Obama said Trump needed to do right by the country and commit to a peaceful transition of power.
“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. 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,” he said.
