Can you even imagine the vitriol he would spew if he clearly won this election and Joe Biden (or Hillary in 2016) refused to concede and invented one dangerous conspiracy theory after another and refused to concede their loss?
It takes me back to 2003, and Republicans insisting we invade and occupy Iraq, a country with no known ties to international terrorism, and absolutely nothing to do with the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Yet Republicans continually pushed the lie that Saddam had something to do with 9/11, and even after being thoroughly debunked, many Republicans still believed the lies.
Now we have a Republican administration at it again, pushing more egregious and dangerous lies into the public domain, and many Republicans are not sophisticated enough to know that the Republican Party is the party of lies. And they'll believe these lies, just like they did after a disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq.
[Funny that I posted a similar thread a few days ago asking how would Trump and the Republicans feel if Biden fired off lawsuit after lawsuit at them for fraudulently stealing his votes. A CDF Moderator removed the whole thread claiming it had become too inflammatory. Hopefully he doesn't do it to your thread]
Anyways Trump has never been the one to stand down to anyone so of course he and Biden (or Hillary) would have gotten into a virtual shouting match. The smart thing would be to present evidence to the courts to show that he had indeed won and he likely would have done that but he wouldn't have kept his temper in check either. As to the rest of the Republicans, I'm sure there would also have been major conflicts between them and the Democrats to the point of making Congress dysfunctional.

While I agree that Saddam had no link to 9/11 and Al Qaeda, that is laughable to say that Iraq had no known ties to international terrorism.
Just to name one: funding suicide bombers in Gaza and the West Bank
Just FYI, only one of the 2020 presidential candidates (Biden or Trump) actually voted on the Senate floor in favor of the Iraq War. I’ll let you guess which one.
That unnamed candidate’s reason for voting in favor of the Iraq War: “He (Saddam) violated every single commitment he made”.

Actually, he wasn't funding suicide bombers, he was making payments to the families. And if you call that the smoking gun, I've got the Great Mosque of Mecca to sell you. I'll give you a great deal on it, too.
As far as "voting for the Iraq war", the resolution was a list of sanctions on Iraq, which included, at the very end, the use of force, if sanctions failed. A fairly transparent cover for their intention, which should have been crystal clear to everyone from the start. Karl Rove scheduled the vote for the middle of October, 2002, weeks before the election, to make sure anyone voting against it in the post 9/11 environment, a year removed from the attacks, would have to answer for it in the midterm elections.
I agree that any Democrat who voted in favor of that resolution was stupid, and that includes Biden. You never, ever trust a Republican.

That’s a whole lot of spin right there.
When you offer a payment for a successful suicide bombing, and the families know about the payoff before you even attempt the bombing, is that not de facto funding for suicide bombers?
As far as Biden, he knew full well what he was voting for and he wanted Saddam removed. This idiot Biden even tried to go back and clean up his support for the War. Even the left leaning fact checkers didn’t fall for his BS.
Only to those in MAGA land not those on planet earth
