Trump says he'll leave office peacefully if he loses in November

President Donald Trump sought to brush aside fears he might not leave office willingly if November’s election doesn’t go his way.

“Certainly, if I don't win, I don't win,” he told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner in an interview that aired Friday. If he doesn’t win the election, Trump continued, “you go on, do other things.”

Though the president has never given any serious indication that he might not leave office if he were to lose reelection, his comments aired Friday appear to be the first time he has publicly committed to doing so.

Still, he told Faulker that if he loses, “I think it would be a very bad thing for our country.”

Faulkner posed the query after former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s likely Democratic rival in November, raised the prospect during a TV appearance on Wednesday.

1. Are his lips moving? Then, he's lying!

Trump personifies the old lawyer joke.

2. Sure he will -

- heavily sedated and full of tranquilizer darts.

3. "You Go On, Do Other Things"

Well, for once he told the truth -- making license plates and breaking rocks and picking up litter on the highway are indeed different from playing golf and watching television and tweeting.

4. I doubt that he will have anyone willing to stand with him that day.

5. I will enjoy "rubbing salt in the wounds" of his defeat once he leaves office.

It’s the least I can do, on my part, to screw with his head.

6. what the fuck you mean

IF ?

fatnixon needs to be packing his bags in advance

7. Ok, that's funny n/t

[rsdsharp]

9. Nah. The White House elves do it all between the

time they leave for the capital and when the Biden’s get back after the parade.

8. He sounds ... reasonable

What's the catch?

11. Maybe the "catch" is that he is

confident about intervening to make sure he wins.

10. But he will fire up his crazies with their ARs if he can. He doesn't have the

guts to do anything himself.

12. BULLSHIT.

donald trump? Fade into post-presidential obscurity? Without a whimper? No more mini-Nuremburg rallies?

Yeah, right.

13. Nothing pleases him more

than appearing on TV, or in the newspapers daily. He LOVES himself. Once he is out, maybe then his Twitter account can be closed? I hope his "first lady" took her cash upfront for her new agreement, since he will be broke shortly afterwards. She is too old to go back to her previous "career".
