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.

    I never once said he could guarantee they won’t get violent. Does anyone read on this instance?

      Maybe read what Biden said? And then you can be among those who read on this instance.

          I noticed how you didn’t actually address the fact you didn’t read what he said. It’s okay, I understand that as hard as comprehension is, admitting you are wrong makes that look like a walk in the park.
