Of course he wouldn’t be concerned by Russian hacking. It helped him win.

Indeed. Why do people even bother expressing “shock”? It only makes them look willfully naive or obtuse.

On a related note, the talking point “Russia hacked the election” is dreadfully misleading and lazy on its own, because it’s far too vague to accurately cover multiple scenarios with varying degrees of severity and implications for the future:

1) Russia used its extensive troll/bot network to pump out propaganda to US voters
2) Russia hacked and released Podesta’s emails
3) Russia infiltrated DNC servers and leaked info
4) Russia also infiltrated RNC servers but didn’t leak info
5) Russia tried to hack into US voter registration databases
6) Russia succeeded in breaking into US voting systems and was able to alter anything from voter registration data to actual vote results

Number 6 would be the virtual A-bomb, of course, but we’ve yet to see any evidence of that nature (and as I mentioned earlier, so far, official channels are denying such an event took place. Now if it did, and they’re concealing the evidence thereof…hoo boy. Where are the leakers for that??)
