Biden: Military Will Remove Trump From the White House if He Refuses to Leave

Joe Biden is “absolutely convinced” that the military would remove President Trump from the White House if he refuses to leave the premises after losing November’s election. The former vice president warned in an interview on The Daily Show Wednesday night: “This president is going to try to steal this election.” The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he was particularly concerned that Trump would try to rig the voting process in his favor, saying: “It’s my greatest concern. My single greatest concern.” Asked whether he’s thought about what would happen if he wins but Trump decides not to leave the White House, Biden responded: “Yes I have.” After mentioning the high-ranking former military officers who spoke out about Trump’s response to the protests last week, he went on: “I promise you, I’m absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch.”

But I am grateful to Joe for speaking out on these topics. I am certain he realizes that sane people have these same concerns & felt it important to give us some hope.

That's roughly the same thing. They would be powerless to do so before noon. And the SS and other federal police forces would instantly have an "intruder" on the premises.

With multiple millions in attendance at his YOU'RE FIRED inauguration? So many more than were at HIS inauguration?

The mood will be absolutely electric, festive, fabulous. It will be a MASSIVE celebration. He couldn't handle it.

He will be with the Saudis, fondling their "orbs". Tweeting from afar. Which we can now ignore, because he is truly a nobody.

Out in the open. Talking about it publicly will help dispel the concern that Trump can just remain President because his lardass is still in the WH.

As long as Biden is elected in November, and then carefully protected until inauguration day, we will be all set.

The military will HAVE to abide by what Biden commands.

As someone else reminded me of recently, the Presidency follows the President, wherever he or she is physically. So, if Donnie wants to squat in the WH after 12 noon on January ?20? 2021, so be it. He will be escorted out in cuffs if needed.

Then we need to fumigate and then invite Joe Biden and Jill to take up residence.

Now, GOTV!

I had assumed that were it to come to t hat, it would be the Secret Service who would escort him from The White House, as they will continue to be responsible for his security.

he won't refuse to leave. He doesn't have the balls to do anything like that. He's a despicable coward who hides behind his privileges.
When he loses hell just start bitching and crying like a baby he's been wronged.
