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.

      Please stick to the single stream of our topic. I’m not going to discuss this with you across multiple comments. I’m researching my responses so that I can provide you sources in good faith. If you’d rather just knock over the pieces and shit on the board feel free.

          Name calling, projection, personal identity indiscernible from personal politics, making excuses for not being able to make a cogent argument. Are you sure you’re not American?
