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.

    Its a prediction not an argument

    Under no circumstances will we see the truth of both predictions

    Hopefully Biden will win and weā€™ll see whether the GOP accepts it. That would be the evidence for half.

    If God forbid Trump wins, weā€™ll have evidence whether the WMP accepts it. That would be evidence for the other half.

    I would LOVE to be wrong, but sometimes thatā€™s how the human scientific process works. We make a prediction THEN look at the evidence to see if we were right

      A baseless prediction is of no value whatsoever. A theory with no evidence to support your claims is not worth anyoneā€™s time or consideration. But please, continue lecturing us about the scientific method.

        Not sure ā€œlecturingā€ is accurate but sure, Iā€™ll allow it.

        For the record, is it your claim that if Trump wins, we will just accept it as the results of a free and fair election? Just ā€œWelp, guess the voters were in your favor this time Donnie. Good game. Weā€™ll try to bring it in four years!ā€ right?

        Also for the record we agree that Trump could get no states and 30% of the popular vote and still say it was fixed and he should have won right? Honestly thatā€™s the result I predict most likely so the experiment will likely be of no value. Just saying.

      Itā€™s just my prediction bro! But there is a 100.00% chance. Thatā€™s right, itā€™s definitely going to happen, but I canā€™t say why. But weā€™ll just have to see what happens! Itā€™s called science, ever heard of it?

        Heh, fair. I do think 9999/10,000 is about right but I donā€™t know you enough to trust you enough to make odds.

        Tell you what. One sided free money bet. If you claim WMP will just say ā€œWell, guess we lost this oneā€ and not say the race was rigged (is this your claim? You still havenā€™t claimed it yet I think) Iā€™ll come back in November with a post titled ā€œCoggyMcFee Iā€™m Calling You Out!ā€ linking this post.

        If Biden wins, so much the better for the world. If GOP doesnā€™t accept it weā€™re both winners, no trade. If GOP accepts it weā€™re both losers, no trade.

        If Trump wins, God help us, and WMP just says ā€œCongratulations, hope we win next timeā€ Iā€™ll give $500 to your favorite charity, or half that to anyone I canā€™t write off, yourself included.

        If Trump wins and WMP says the election was rigged, well, you havenā€™t agreed to anything and owe me nothing. If you feel honor bound, my charity is OSI the Open Space Institute.

        If I forget call my ass out. If Trump wins frankly we have bigger problems but Iā€™ll pay.
