“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.

    “The guy is not a democrat with a small d,”

    But I am!

    (Sorry, there was a dick joke to be made, and I could not help myself)

    I get what he is saying, but the phrasing could have been better. This seems like something that could be flipped into a campaign slogan that hides the dark undertones of what it actually means.

      “The guy is not a democrat with a small d,”

      No, but he is a Republican with a small d.

      Ba-dum-pst!

      Weird that’s the first place your brain went. I didn’t even consider the dick joke.

        Weird your mind never went there. It’s what we’d call “low-hanging fruit”.

        …

        Oops, there’s another one.
