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.

    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.
