“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.

      I think there’s a problem with 18-25 year old men wanting trump rn.

      Trump appeals to incels. young men are having less sex than ever. Idk.

      Ironically, from the progressive prospective, it looks like moderates are willing to allow facscists to win instead of moving further left.

      We really need the wings to come to an understanding fast, but that would take some good faith from the moderates IMO.

      Fascism or fascism lite. I’ll vote for fascism lite, but I have a hard time building up moral outrage for people who just check out. Biden’s tone-deaf backing of the protest crackdown rhetoric really pushed me over the edge. Biden is not trying to win, he’s just hoping Trump continues to implode, and I really hope he’s right.
