“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.
“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.
“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. … He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”
The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.
Even if he wins he won’t accept any states he lost that he thought he should’ve won. I could absolutely see a situation where Trump sues one of the Secretaries of State and tries to pull all the same shit he did in Georgia (which he has yet to be punished for, assuming he ever will be)
Trump will never face any consequences. He is the poster boy for fascism in America that the rich and powerful have been waiting for. Once he destroys democracy, they will swoop in to ensure it never returns.
(which he has yet to be punished for, assuming he ever will be)
Federal courts are all punting these cases until after November. Even if he’s convicted in New York, there’s a good chance he just… refuses to go back to New York to be sentenced. Or perhaps they just don’t get to sentencing until after the election, at which point it’ll be a moot point.
Just like in 2016, he called the election rigged and that he wouldn’t accept the results. And then he won, and suddenly, all the wolf cries of “it’s rigged” vanished into thin air and they started saying how it was the most significant election of all time, a true underdog come-from-behind win, and wow look how big the crowd size is at my inauguration, I bet Obama didn’t pull a crowd like that! Nothing ever mentioned about it being rigged again except for how he should have won by even wider margins than he did.
I fucking hate Trump with every fiber of my body. How stupid do you have to be to look at this guy or listen to him speak and take away anything other than the fact that he’s an egomaniac who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life? If anybody ever says positive things about him in front of me for the rest of my life, that person is dead to me.
Even calling it an underdog story kind of betrays the truth that they did not expect to win, contrary to their claims that a loss would prove a rigged election.
They know it’s rigged because they’re the ones rigging the damn things
It’s impossible for them to understand the idea that the Democrats might not also be desperately trying to counter-rig every election, and rather just have such a shit ton more voters outside the hostile voting environments that they still occasionally pull out a win now and then
Trump is awesome. I love him. MAGA 2024
Lol, you support an obvious dementia patient.
He’s awesome because he fucked a porn star while his wife was pregnant?
Or is he awesome because he stole from his own charity?
Is he awesome because he’s so disrespectful?
Is he so awesome because he goes on these weird nonsensical rants like the nuclear one?
Is he awesome because he estranged all the US allies, making the US weaker than ever before?
Is he awesome because he withdrew from a base in such a hurry that when Russian forces took over they still could.use all the food supplies left behind?
Is he awesome because he wants to be a dictator? Not my words, his.
Is he awesome because he completely ignored Corona, saying a miracle would cure it, and then edging people on to take ivermectin, then talking about injecting bleach? Causing millions extra to unnecessarily die, btw.
Why exactly IS he awesome? What part, that I might have missed, is awesome?
And just to be clear: all the above happened, don’t even start with “that never happened” because then you need to stop watching right wing news outlets and just… I dunno, go out and touch grass?
Stop trying to make trump sound cool.
Stop being a teenage edgelord. I’ve seen the likes of you come and go and be absolutely worthless all my life, and you’re just sad.
That’s not what I’m trying to do. half the things you wrote are cool, more if you don’t suck.
One super fucked-up thing about it is the President has to say it before they’ll publish it.
Like, yeah - you know it, I know it - hell, they know it. But they won’t write about what a traitorous fuck he is at all.
He won in 2016 and he still didn’t accept the result. He spent months insisting that the elections were rigged to prevent him from getting even larger margins, and then he turned the DOJ inside-out to pursue years of “election fraud” investigations intent on keeping a large Republican majority into 2018 (which failed anyway when his fickle white base turned on him).
Of course, Bush pulled the same shit during his time in office, running cover via his own DOJ for dozens of state gerrymandering campaigns (the Texas Gerrymander of 2005 stacked the deck for permanent Republican majority into the modern day). And Reagan pulled this shit via his captured Civil Rights Division before that. And Nixon before that.
When Trump wins in 2024, it will suck again. But it won’t suck uniquely. This is an age-old fight, between a caged/disenfranchised popular majority and a wealthy manipulative white nationalist minority.
Bush and Reagan didn’t lead insurrections. Roger Stone had a little putsch on Bush’s behalf, sure. But Bush did not send a mob of delusional cultists to hang his own VP.
I don’t think Bush or Reagan sold state secrets or lists of CIA agents to foreign adversaries either.
He had the supreme court do it for him
Right so Repubs have slid from faux legal and indirect violence to fully illegal and directly violent. IDK how many more votes we’ll be allowed to cast if they are able to continue. I just want to make the distinction there. It is not the same.
Hasnt he already said as much publicly?
Yeah he’s still around because you didnt do shit about him doing the same thing last election.
Hahahahaha!!!
Wait… this isn’t the onion…
This is America 🇺🇸
This is a Wendy’s
don’t let them catch you slippin
If he loses I fully expect his concession speech to be just like last time and there’s going to be a insurrection again.
I thought a small d meant dick for a moment there
So issue an order and have a seal team take him out since trump says that’s okay.
We know. It is the standard playbook now.
It had no consequences last time. Of course he’ll try it again.
Well, if the diaper baby doesn’t accept it, too bad. This time Biden will be running the executive branch if any of donnie’s cult try to start some stuff.
What has given you the impression that Biden has the spine or brains to face off with that? He’s not a fighter and the only thing he has any true ideology about is protecting Israel’s genocide.
Theyll be breaking the door down to his office and the moron will probably try to “reach across the aisle” and they’ll cut his hand off. Then his do-nothing AG will sit and wring his hands and pee in his pants because he heard someone say the word ‘partisan’. The man’s brain is about 30 years behind current events.
What is small the d?
Mushroom shaped, apparently
😂
Someone who believes in democracy, but is not a member of the “Democrat” political party.
