In reply to the discussion: Trump says he'll leave White House peacefully if Biden wins [View all]Ramsey Barner
(349 posts)52. Watch the video in the posted link: Trump never says he'll leave peacefully
unless I missed it.
Start at 20:42 of the Faulkner interview and watch to the end. Faulkner doesn't ask if he'll leave peacefully, and he doesn't say he'll leave peacefully. He just says "Certainly, if I don't win, I don't win." The "leave peacefully" part and the "no indication" that he won't are editorial comments from the first clip, from The Hill.
He's a con man. The "Certainly" is there to make you think he's agreeing with Faulkner's chortling mockery of Biden's comments that Trump won't leave voluntarily if he loses, while all he really says is a tautology: "if I don't win, I don't win." HE will decide who wins!
I think there's a lot of wishful thinking from The Hill and from some of us in interpreting these comments.

Unless he has something to trade and as the President he has access to classified information.

He'll whine and bluster while a lame duck, but he'll leave, especially if stomped.

The maggot would have to escape NYPD investigators' interrogation room for that.
Lock him up.

Pay attention to Trump when he says the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He's trying to tap down the imagery of the army carrying him out with great dispatch. nt

If the army has to carry him out, it will ruin the rest of his life..(what is left of it)

However, Trump still maintained that it would "be a very bad thing for our country" if he lost.

The question at that point will be can the Senate and Barr enable him staying.

Which means Trump will get carried out of The White House kicking and screaming.

This is absolutely meaningless. Trump can and will change his mind at the drop of a MAGA cap.
