Nobel laureates express concern over 'Trump presidential election dissatisfaction'

U.S. economists who won the Nobel Prize in Economics have expressed serious concern about former President Donald Trump's disapproval of the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Co-winner James Robinson, a professor at the University of Chicago, told The Associated Press that former President Trump rejected the democratic rules of citizens in the last presidential election and said he was concerned.

Daron Azemorlu, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and co-author of the book "Why the State Fails," also said in a telephone press conference shortly after the announcement of the award, "I think this is a time when democracies are going through a hard road."

It also added that it is important for these countries to regain their status as cleaner governance systems and deliver on the promise of democracy to a wider range of people.

MIT Professor Simon Johnson, who shared the Nobel Prize in Economics with them, also pointed out in a telephone interview with Reuters that former President Trump's refusal to admit defeat in the presidential election is putting pressure on the systems established in the United States.

Professor Johnson said he believes presidential disobeying is the biggest concern I have ever witnessed in the industrialized world, adding that the November 5 presidential election is the most serious test of pressure on American democracy.
