“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.
Bernie is old, but not in the way that Trump or Biden are old. Listen to Bernie speak and he is as sharp as ever. We really fucked up in the 2020 primary.
I still think Biden is solid enough to do the job. A modern president is really just a spokesperson for an entire administration, and Biden has an incredibly capable group of people supporting him. I have a lot of problems with his administration’s positions on a multitude of issues, but they are certainly competent.
On the other hand, Trump is a lifelong idiot dictator. His last administration was a trash fire. He went through four chiefs of staff in one term, and most other key positions were just as bad. Running an administration like that puts a lot more stress on the executive and requires tons of competence. Trump is not competent and doesn’t have a history of making great decisions under stress.
