Biden 'not confident' of peaceful transition if Trump loses
bbc.com
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.

But there's been so many.
"Dictator on day one"
"You won't have to vote anymore"
Those are just the two off the top of my head as I'm heading back into work on my lunch break.
Everything bad Trump ever says is either "a joke" or "out of context."
Weird how often he says things that everyone things he means and then he doesn't mean them. I sure wouldn't vote for a guy like that. He's weird.
What's even in context for him? He jumps around so much there is no context.
This is his one strength. He can dog whistle as much as he wants because he always carefully chooses his words to add some sort of plausible deniability or innocent interpretation. So his base hears what he can't fully say out loud yet and the media has to carefully tiptoe around interpreting it or lose credibility to his base
There’s nothing carefully chosen about it. He just vomits so many words it overwhelms the brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop
