“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.

    The only way he’ll call it legitimate is if the result is literally 100% of the votes are for him.

      I suspect Trump is so far under water by now he doesn’t know up from down anymore. Can you imagine being 77 years old, in court everyday while managing a presidential bid?

      The guy has lived his whole life in the lap of luxury and now you have the entire government analyzing your every move while the only people you interact with are slimey lawyers who think being president makes you a dictator?

      So no, I don’t think he will accept the election results. If they came back and said Trump won 100% of the popular vote he would probably still find a way to lash out at the DNC.

      Only 100%? A supreme leader like Donnie deserves at least 200%!

      Any true American will sneak back in and vote a second time.
