Obama: This election is 'like Dante's Inferno'

President Obama compared the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to descending through hell, during his toast at the State Dinner for Italy on Tuesday evening.

“And some days our presidential campaigns can seem like Dante’s Inferno,” Obama told the visiting Italian leaders, celebrities, government officials and media. Earlier in the day, at a press conference alongside Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Obama knocked the Republican nominee for claiming the election was “rigged” against him. The president said Trump ought to focus on winning the election, not complaining about the potential outcome.
