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.

    Not his job to control an unabashed pathological liar from lying… again. And not even convincingly!

        That’s not what I said… so… no.

        I can’t control what you do just like can’t control me. It’s on Donny to control himself and not insight another potential coup. No one can force the little cry baby to act like an adult. He has to do that himself.

        All Biden can do is try to mitigate the consequences of another 80 year olds tantrum

          ultimately, when those tantrums threaten the constitutionally recognized government, then it’s Biden’s job to, you know. Defend that government. as mandated by that constitution and as he swore to do.

          yes. it’s a very ugly place we’re coming to.

          that’s why he’s paid the middle-bucks.

            You can’t control anyone shy of putting them in prison which obviously isn’t happening. He’ll do what he can, but come on man, look what happened last time. They built gallows lol. It’s like trying to hold water, it’s uncontrollable nonsensical chaos from a whiny trust fund kid with a cult following.

            He’s gunna do what he does and Biden will do his best to mitigate the tantrum.

            In almost 1/4 of a century only 1 republican has won the popular vote and not even in both terms and only 1 guy refuses to admit it even after 8 years of being proven wrong.
