Joe Biden said he expects the military to escort President Trump out of the White House should the incumbent lose the 2020 election and refuse to leave.

The former vice president, who last week secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, told The Daily Show host Trevor Noah late Wednesday that Trump is "going to try and steal this election," referring to Trump's claim that mail-in ballots lead to voter fraud, and his "greatest concern" is voting problems similar to what was seen in Georgia's primaries.

Biden was later asked if he has considered what would happen if he wins and Trump resists leaving the White House. "Yes, I have," he said.

Following what appeared to be a jump in the interview, Biden touched on retired military leaders who have spoken out against Trump in recent days over his threat to use military force to quell unrest in protests across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody. He also noted, "so many rank-and-file military personnel saying, 'Whoa, we're not a military state. This is not who we are.'"

Biden then said, "I promise you: I am absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch."

Among the military leaders who have denounced the president are retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis, who served as Trump's defense secretary, and John Allen, a retired four-star general in the Marine Corps. A letter of support for Biden bore the signatures of 55 retired military leaders.

Biden also discussed police reform and race, saying, "Donald Trump didn’t invent racism, but he sure has promoted it."

If Trump loses reelection, it'll destroy him. The Nov. 4 - Jan. 20 transition period is going to be an absolute dumpster fire like nothing American politics has ever seen.

He'll have nothing to lose with nearly 3 months left as the most powerful man in the world and the one check on his behavior — getting reelected — will be gone. By the time Christmas rolls around we'll be deep into an all-new constitutional nightmare that makes the last 3 years look like a walk in the park.

Edit: not saying he's going to start a war or anything, just that his abuses of power are likely going to go from "as long as this doesn't hurt me in November" to "what has two thumbs and doesn't give a fuck about anything anymore?"

Parasite 2: The Bunkering - President and First Lady Biden move into the White House wondering why Trump hasn't been seen in the months since the election but as things turn up missing or moved combined with the occasional carpet stains that forensic experts say is Bronx Colors makeup, an intern slowly realizes that someone or some thing has been living in the bunker under the White House.
