“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.

    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.

        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.

        don’t forget that they did drum up a riot in order to buy scotus time to make sure that votes weren’t counted

      Yeah, it’s totally not treasonous to tell Iran to hold on to hostages until after his election to undermine Carter.
