ā€œThe guy is not a democrat with a small d,ā€ the president told CNNā€™s Erin Burnett.

PresidentĀ Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certainĀ Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump ā€œdangerousā€ for the nation.

ā€œThe guy is not a democrat with a small d,ā€ Biden toldĀ CNNā€™s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.

ā€œHow many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? Theyā€™ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. ā€¦ HeĀ mayĀ not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he wonā€™t. Which is dangerous.ā€

The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trumpā€™s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.

    Even if he wins he wonā€™t accept any states he lost that he thought he shouldā€™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.

      Federal courts are all punting these cases until after November. Even if heā€™s convicted in New York, thereā€™s a good chance he justā€¦ refuses to go back to New York to be sentenced. Or perhaps they just donā€™t get to sentencing until after the election, at which point itā€™ll be a moot point.
