Try to get your facts straight. At that stage Trump was expecting to lose, and he was claiming (on the basis of zero evidence as usual) that the electoral SYSTEM was rigged against him. Obama said it wasn't.

Neither of them was talking about social media manipulation, hacking and dirty tricks, which of course CAN have an effect. We just don't know how much of an effect it had.

Personally, to me it's rather silly for americans to NOT expect our elections to be tampered with. We do it every chance we get, why we seated Yeltsin. And we all know that our elections are tampered with from within as well.

The US is very good at hacking defenses. We have a lot of people working on hacking and defense. In this case, the Russians had help from Wiki and Facebook. They also had connections inside Trumps's campaign. If it all comes out, trump will not be happy.
