In his first interview since he dropped out of the race, the president says he is concerned about the transfer of power.

US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.

"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”

Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.

The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been “viciously” misquoting him.

    Oh it’s not? All I say is “maybe we shouldn’t allow corporations to literally buy all the politicians” and all of you people are like “i like it when bought politicians are legitimized by ranks”. If the shit-tier links presented above are enough to wholly sway you in implementing RC voting before securing your election system via delegitimizing legal bribery, then go ahead and listen. I simply presented an opposing opinion, one that is quite literally in line with the current status quo. You’re the ones out here trying to convince me. But whatever. Bots.

      False again

      Edit: I get it, this is one of the first time in your life when you thought you would step out and show everyone your brilliant ideas. That’s good, but you need to learn that being contrarian isn’t just opposing all external view points. Contrarians are only useful when they use rigor and data to expose weaknesses in any course of action. Hurling accusations at people is not an argument, or at least a very convincing one.

        But youre far too much of a little bot to say why, right? Is this entire site just bots? Like there’s literally nothing wrong with anything I said, and y’all are wrapping yourselves in narratives and buzzwords. I literally feel like Il talking to bots

        Lmfao “being contrarian”? How about using my brain. Something y’all clearly don’t care about doing, just posting links to CNN and pleading to their authority. These guys already brought up the math of duopoly, and I refuse to see how constantly ceding ground to an ever-rightward shift in American politics is a great idea.
