　　当地时间10月18日，奥巴马在与意大利总理伦齐举行联合记者会时还不忘捎带手痛批特朗普。

　　特朗普近来一直怒批选举过程，称大选作弊，许多不诚实的媒体助推，支持骗子希拉里，还指责选举被操纵。

　　针对特朗普的这番言论，奥巴马说：“在现代政治历史上，以及历届总统竞选人当中，我从未见过哪位候选人会贬低选举，在选民投票前就怀疑选举过程。这是史无前例的，(特朗普的怀疑)毫无依据。”

　　奥巴马表示，身为总统候选人，在大选日到来前就开始抱怨，已经说明了他是怎样的人，更没有资格承担“这份工作”。说到这里时，奥巴马还指了一下身后的椭圆办公室，并说到：“我建议特朗普停止发牢骚，还是试着去争取选民。”

　　不过他也表示，如果特朗普真的赢得了大选，还是会欢迎特朗普成为下届总统。

　　“如果他赢得了大多数选票，那么我期望希拉里会有一个有风度的败选演说，能与他(特朗普)共事，并承诺使美国民众能够从政府处获益。如果特朗普真的能赢到最后，那么不管他对我说过什么，不管我们的意见有多少分歧，我们都会完成权力的和平交接。”奥巴马表示。

　　President Barack Obama has said Republican Donald Trump's insistence that he might not accept the election result is "dangerous".

　　Speaking at a campaign rally in Miami for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the president said Mr Trump's comments undermined American democracy.

　　Mr Trump refused in a televised debate to say he would accept the outcome of the election on 8 November.

　　He later said he would accept a "clear" result but left a challenge open.

　　Speaking in Ohio on Thursday, Mr Trump said, with a grin: "I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election - if I win."

　　In the same speech, he said he would accept a clear election result but reserved the right to file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable one.

　　Hours later, the president said that sowing the seeds of doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of US elections provided a boost to the country's enemies.

　　"You're doing the work of our adversaries for them, because our democracy depends on people knowing that their vote matters," said Mr Obama.

　　Mr Trump has been heavily criticised by many in his own party by suggesting he might not accept the election result.

　　For days, he has claimed the election is rigged against him, due to media bias and voter fraud.

　　During Wednesday night's debate with Mrs Clinton, when moderator Chris Wallace asked Mr Trump if he would accept losing to her, the Republican nominee said he would "keep you in suspense".

　　Mr Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, later insisted that the candidate had meant he would not concede until the "results are actually known".

　　Republican Senator John McCain, who lost to Mr Obama eight years ago, said: "A concession isn't just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader's first responsibility."

　　First Lady Michelle Obama also joined the attack on Thursday, saying "you do not keep American democracy in suspense".
