President Barack Obama sharply disputed Donald Trump's claim that the US election system is rigged, saying the Republican presidential nominee should "stop whining."
"You start whining before the game's even over?" Obama said during a news conference in the White House Rose Garden, adding that Trump's claim is "not based on facts."
Obama also said Trump's "flattery" of Russian President Vladimir Putin is "out of step" with US norms.
