“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN's Erin Burnett.

“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.

    People said trump in 16 was the most dangerous thing because his party would excuse anything he did because Dems are worse…

    And I agreed.

    But now Dems are saying we have to excuse anything Dem politicians do. Because Republicans are worse.

    It’s true republicans are worse, but if our standards for our own party are non-existent, then we have an even worse problem.

    Because there’s now no viable option for president that will be held accountable for anything by their own party.

    And since we can’t even punish trump for trying to overthrow the government, because that requires super majorities. There’s no way any president will ever be held accountable for anything.

    We’re watching the literal downfall of the American experiment and people just want to argue if trump or Biden plays the fiddle best.

      Since i get called a spy and bad actor so often, it got me thinking about theories n such.

      Now, I don’t believe this, but if there were astroturfing i would think it would be done by both the DNC and RNC. I’m just screwing around, but it would make sense a lil bit.

      The green party will get a larger percentage than normal this year, and while I don’t think the DNC or RNC feel threatened by them, it is very important to them that Americans never feel a third party is possible.

      Meh. There’s no conspiracy, its just people getting whipped up into a today cuz it’s an election year and truth is on hiatus.
