There is no way that Trump can be denied the presidency. [View all]

President Obama doesn't have the power to change anything. He believes it is his responsiblity to ensure that there aren't riots in the streets and a peaceful transition of power.

It isn't reasonable to expect him to get up on a stage and start breathing fire.

He is going to leave it to others to make the claim that this election was unfair and sabotaged.

There is no way to take away the votes. If people went to the polls and voted for Trump because of wiki leaks and the hacking of the DNC and John Podesta's email, there is no mechanism in place to change things. We aren't going to have a re-election.
