Donald Trump Refuses to Guarantee a Peaceful Transfer of Power | The Daily Social Distancing Show

thanks to donald junta trump we just don't have enough time to cover some of the more fun stories for instance the washington post is reporting that the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu has been bringing suitcases full of dirty laundry with him whenever he visits the us and he does this because all the laundry gets cleaned for free by the president's staff at the white house which is pretty wild i mean this guy runs a country and he's treating the white house like a college freshman visiting his parents for the weekend it also probably explains why netanyahu is suddenly signing all these peace deals [ __ ] i'm out of clean underwear yo bahrain meet me at the white house in social media news an app called gradient is being accused of promoting digital blackface for letting users see what they would look like as other races and look i don't know if this counts as blackface but i do know this counts as a shitty app because that is not what you would look like as a black person that's just another person also if you're a white person you don't need a filter to see what you would look like as a european that's what you is and then in coronaviruses ruining everything news it was just announced that the annual new year's eve ball drop in times square will be going virtual this year which means now if you want to pee your pants waiting for midnight you're going to have to do it at home and i'll say this canceling new year's eve is a great call yeah i said it i learned my lesson with 2020 from now on i'm not celebrating a year before we get to see if it's good first yeah we should see how 2021 goes then decide whether or not we want to throw it a party you have to earn the right for me to celebrate you by vomiting in times square from drinking too many white claws it's a privilege but i'll be honest folks it's hard to care too much about ball drops or dirty laundry or whatever asian scott disick is up to when the world's oldest democracy is about to become the world's newest dictatorship never in the history of this country has there not been a peaceful transfer of power after a presidential election but now president trump is suggesting he might not accept the election results if he is not the winner the president is taking a position on this issue that is not just unprecedented but critics warn it is dangerous refusing to endorse one of the most basic tenets of american democracy will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transferal of power after the election well we're gonna have to see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster and that but people are rioting do you commit to making sure that there's a peaceful transfer we want to get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very trans we'll have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer frankly there'll be a continuation holy [ __ ] i never thought i would see the day where an american president would threaten not to accept an election defeat because let's be honest this is something you hear about in some random country where america steps in to enforce democracy i feel like now it's only fair that those countries should send peacekeepers to the u.s well well well refusing to give up power a rampant disease and high unemployment who's the [ __ ] now huh i will say man donald trump has gone on quite the journey the man spent his entire life as one of the world's most famous landlords and now he's turning into the world's most famous squatter i bet even if joe biden wins they're going to find trump in the white house basement someday living that parasite life but on the real though this is a legit problem because a peaceful transfer of power is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy and by trump's saying that he refuses to leave peacefully he's basically threatening a coup i mean unless maybe what he means is that he will leave but he just thinks it's more interesting if there's a fight on the way out which i don't totally disagree with can you imagine how fun it would be if the incoming president always had to fist fight the outgoing president yeah biden and trump i'm going to be at the white house recreating the geriatric fights from the irishman while kamala harris has mike pence in a headlock oh no my hair grazed her bosom now it's going to hell and guys i really hope that there is a peaceful transition of power because i don't know about you but i am not in good enough shape to fight a civil war right now yeah i've been trapped inside my house for months i'm not working out it's like i'm a caterpillar that went into a cocoon and then came out as an even shittier caterpillar now look if you've paid any attention to donald trump over the past five years it's no surprise that he likes the idea of being a dictator i mean he's written more love letters to kim jong-un than his own wife the question is will other republicans allow him to get away with it and today several heavy hitters responded republican lawmakers defending the idea of a peaceful transfer of power but unwilling to attack the president directly senator mitt romney tweeting any suggestion that a president might not respect this constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable we just got a tweet from marco rubio also who says as we have done for over two centuries we will have a legitimate and fair election senate majority leader mitch mcconnell tweeted this there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792. oh thank god mitch mcconnell says the election results will be honored and if there's one person whose word we can trust it's mitch mcconnell a mitch mcconnell promise is as trustworthy as a husband with glitter on his face because now he says the winner of the election will be inaugurated but you know that if biden wins he's just going to come out on november 4th like oh in november 2016 the american people had their say oh we can't just erase that now they voted once so ratchet why should they vote again at this point there is nothing the gop can do to put people at ease because they try and do this they try and reassure people all the time and then what do they do they always end up backing trump the gop treats americans like a dog being taken to the vet yeah you tell him that you're going to the park and then before he knows that he's waking up on a table and his balls are gone now after 250 years americans have grown somewhat attached to living in a democracy so a lot of them are understandably pretty upset about what happened and usually when americans are angry at trump they don't have a chance to tell him directly but it just so happens that today trump went out to pay respects to the late rbg and the people who were there well they let him know exactly how they felt president trump and first lady melania trump arrived at the supreme court thursday morning to pay their respects to justice ruth bader ginsburg mourners waiting in line to do the same booed and chanted when they saw the president had [Applause] [Applause] that arrived suck it's like trump's twitter mentions turned up in real life do you know how bad you have to be to get booed at a funeral basically people are like two things have happened here death and you and you're the one we're gonna boo although trump is so oblivious he probably turned to melania as they left and was like what did you do to those people melania they didn't like you they didn't like you at all but i will say this though kudos to the president i mean i huff expected him to kick rbg's coffin over and start cursing at the crowd but instead he kept his composure it almost makes me wonder what was going through his head you simply can't comprehend the genius of donald trump our president has no fear this is our best president in my memory you bought us valuable time by taking that strong action mr president you were brave you were it was unprecedented he is smart he is filled with energy nobody's a close second and he gets more done in a day than any other president i've been aware of over the course of my life my father isn't deterred by defeatist thinkers the word impossible well it only motivates him ah of course he went to his happy place but although booing him might make some people feel better trump refusing to say that he would leave office if he loses is a scary thought because who knows what could happen with that kind of threat well for more on this let's talk to a man who's repeatedly refused to leave his apartment when his lease was up our very own roy wood jr roy i need your advice on this man what do you make of donald trump's comments because a lot of people are worried that this could lead to election day violence man i'm not worried about that man trump says crazy stuff all the time that's what he does man this ain't that big of a deal henry pack your [ __

not like i'm about to leave america before donald trump declares himself keen for life and even if he was going to do that trevor don't you trust his fellow republicans to stand up to him well you know when you put it like that it actually makes me more worried no no no trevor don't be worried this is america we're gonna get through this man you can bank on it which reminds me i need to close my bank accounts hey i gotta bounce man i'ma get with you brother okay roy why would you you know what i'll i'll check in with you later on the show does that sound good i mean you can do whatever you
