US President Donald Trump has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses November's election.
More states are encouraging mail-in voting, citing the need to keep voters safe amid the coronavirus pandemic. When the journalist countered that"people are rioting", Mr Trump interjected: "Get rid of the ballots, and you'll have a very - you'll have a very peaceful - there won't be a transfer, frankly, there'll be a continuation."Back in 2016, Mr Trump also refused to commit to accepting the election results in his contest against the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, which she characterised as an attack on American democracy.
She raised the scenario that Republicans would try"messing up absentee balloting" and mobilise an army of lawyers to contest the result. "I think this [the election] will end up in the Supreme Court, and I think it's very important that we have nine justices," the president said. The president has said he will name a female nominee for the court this Saturday. She would replace Justice Ginsburg, who died last Friday.
Trump is worried about mail ballots. He did the same stint in the last election 🤣🤣🤣🤣
BBC is fack news
Good, a Revolution in Washington is needed, clean out the dead wood from the Child Interning racists that infest the White House!.
Tueh😏
This ploy won't work! Propaganda!
It depends on why he was asked to leave. Did he lose because of 81 million mail in ballots on top of our normal 130 million cast at the polls? Protect your vote, vote in person. Wear a mask, wash hands, stay 6 feet apart. A vote for Trump is a vote for the Constitution. VOTE!
This is FakeNews. You have edited the video but not told people that. How do I know this? Because the question had the words “win, lose or draw” in it. What else are you lying about? Everything. Trump2020
The US has to intervene in this. What sort of African behaviour is this?
So if he wins, we get to negate it and say it was fraud right?
Trump will be banned from entering into Nigeria if refuse to commit peaceful transfer of power
US is overated
This is an outrageous slur from the far left DefundTheBBC. Utterly biased, still ignoring Biden Ukraine corruption. FakeNewsMedia USAinUK
Baron Trump! Who go give am Visa ban ooo! 😂😂😂
Rebel Americans!!! This man is a narcissistic dictator; a DICTATOR. Get rid of him quickly!!
These are same people bothered about elections in Nigeria. Lol.
Kayodeoshinubi Should this even be a question or an issue in the 1st place? Isn't still America?
Since every matter in Nigeria is reported to realDonaldTrump by the OfficialPDPNig, who do the PDP report Trump to? ishakaa tfx47 OyesileJohn
Trump won't commit to peaceful anything. Likes the sound of his own voice too much
Trump is modelling himself on Putin, his paymaster (blackmailer?).
KanmiB Mr_Laditan
More LIES! I look forward to the day BBC activists have to learn to code!
Follow the Campaign to DefundTheBBC DefundBBC
Why does my home news organisation broadcast such nonsense. Surely if he loses the election and decides to remain in The White House, he will be removed by force if necessary, as he will be trespassing?
How different is visiting a polling station to going shopping 😂
Why is this news all of a sudden? It's been obvious for months.
Don’t bother about Trump. He will win this time. There is large population of Trumpers than Bideners. Good luck with another four year 😒
How the mighty have fallen . we're watching closely
Obama lied that they're will be a peaceful transition of power while he spied on his campaign and lost.
MatthewTPage is this your country?
saner clime to cast👇👇👇👇 ishakaa
He is the enemy of democracy
That evil man is a dictator, and the worst president the US has ever had.
Trump wants to be the Putin or Kim of the United States.He adores Putin and Kim so much.
Despots never do
Do you mean he’ll make false claims about hanging chads and Russian intervention in order to deny the result? Oh, hang on, that’s what the Democrats do, who never ever accept it when they lose, as opposed to the Republicans who always do.
Absolutely terrifyfing.
This is terrifying and should be commented on by the UK gov as they would if any other dictator threatened not to abide by free elections. But they won’t cos desperate for a US trade deal. Both governments are corrupt and weak
Deliberate Misinterpretation. Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. Why do a peaceful handover if he wins? Why assume he wouldn't and ask an insulating question? Seriously report news don't create it.
Trump is an African leader in White House
Frightening....
Your story is fake as usual how come you dont talk about Hunter Biden and his family getting millions from Ukraine. How can anyone trust corrupt sleepy joe to be honest or even do any peace deals like Trump
Amazing ,when the dems say as much ,0 from the BBC.
CHARLIE STAPE......Listen. !! I am 77 years old and I have just downloaded the app. No problem. Stop talking rubbish . You just read negative tweets.
KadariaAhmed 100 years to come your BBC Biden can’t beat trump ! TRUMP HAS ALREADY WON JUST WAITING FOR RESULT , Biden running for president again after years in politics of corruption is same thing that is wrong in Nigeria political system that can’t give an outsider power !LETTHATSINK
The Democrats (and the media) haven't consented to a peaceful transfer for the last 4yrs: the Russia hoax, impeachment. Where's your Hunt3r Bid3n / Russia story BBC? You're all hypocrites. He's going to walk the election anyway, inc popular vote.
We are seeing the collapse of US democracy in real time and the GOP seem fine with that. Trump is trying to discount the votes against him. GOP not upholding the Constitution. So much corruption in these dangerous times.
They call him the Dictator...
FUND THE BBC!
Who cares?
I'm surprised no one has tried to assassinate him yet
The secret service would evict him from the White House so this is nonsense from trump (as usual).
Didn’t get one from Obama and nobody gave a shit. Predictable
Bigger news for uk ...no?
Treason removal programme development now for Jan 21. Once no longer President Jan 21 Pelosi can arrest for Treason. Needs to work out how to do this effectively.
Of course not because he is a massive man child
Belarus
By the way the Democrats have still not accepted the 2016 election!
Yet again a very bias BBC. Why don't you report the thousands of attorneys the Dems have hired to fight the results? Or all the courts decisions to extend the period of voting (10 days after elections). Trump is nit against absentee ballots but he is against changing election law
And the UK in Boris Johnson hands is aligning itself and pinning any economic recovery in the shadow of this man. BJ you need to change your strategy - The Art of War was written for a different generation...
DefundTheBBC lies Corruption ElectionMeddling TakeHarryAndMeghanBackWeDoNotWantThemHere ‼️
All recent comments, appointment of a new judge, Ticktock, remarks about protesters, ballot vote rigging and now about the result of the election all appear to be aimed at getting the press and public talking about anything other than the economy and coronavirus.
Why aren't you reporting about the shutdown of police forces in America? Oh yes, doesn't meet your propaganda agenda corrupt
Trump....everything America is not.
He does it on purpose because it causes the Libs to go crazy! Lol!
Trump wont commit to any election result he didn't win, the man is crazy he will either end up with a civil war or start a world one, he needs to be removed from office and placed in an asylum.
Fake news
Time to get him out of office has long since passed.
US has never commit to peace anywhere else in the world. The whole issue of Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, even in UN. How's this any different?
He’s going to bring the US to the brink of civil war..
Fakenews Not what he said! - He said if they got rid of the fraudulent mail in ballots there wouldn't be a transfer of power because he'd win.
Cool. And. Normal. 👍👍👍
What a load of rubbish the BBC is.
If he wins, will the left accept the vote peacefully? If he loses will the right accept the vote peacefully?
Just a very naughty old man....
FAKE
Since it was very typical of the then candidate Donald Trump& now incumbent president not to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, he should be left to wallow in his own archaic philosophy. Of huge concern is the S'Court challenge, which Trump is going to seal in his favour.
Where is the BBC’s coverage of Hillary Clinton stating “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances”?

We know this and the election officials need to stop this.
Bit like brit and its new invented covid-laws without scutiny.
Your fake news!Why are you trying to interfere in our political process?
Good, I would rather see him dragged out, kicking and screaming. With his wig falling off!
Now everyone knows how fucked up the United States is!
Media continue misinformation campaign conflating absentee mail-in voting with mass mailings of ballots to all registered voters, dead or alive, or moved. 90% of the nation has zero experience with mass voting by mail and recent localized attempts end in failure and fraud.
Neither will JoeBiden SenKamalaHarris or SpeakerPelosi whether the dems win/loose they are out for power over our constitutional rights. I 100%support Trump standing up for our constitutional rights. Bring the hammer down sir, AMERICAN PATRIOTS have your back. TRUMP2020
President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS! President Trump even EXPOSES the BBC (UK)!! DEFINITELY One of the GREATEST Presidents in US History. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WOW!!!! Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to see him personally locked and loaded. He wouldn't get off the lawn.
BS. HE SAID ‘ we’ll see’. Because multiple US states are using mass mail in ballots. Multiple primary elections this year did the same and about 40% of the votes were lost. You can see why he’s concerned about the dems cheating...
Louisville
They didn't ask Obama about it before the election , why all this media hate and bias, it's very risky and disgraceful.
Dictator
Is there still law?
When will Democrats denounce Hillary Clinton for her refusal to embrace a peaceful transition of power? She said Biden should not concede “under any circumstances.”
Fascism! Impeachable offence!
Rubbish
Trump is like the world’s biggest troll, and the media take his bait every damn time. Get a grip.
It’s fine, we’ll take him out kicking and screaming, don’t care.
Trump says ' get rid of the ballots ' for ' continuation ' of his presidency.
It will be a landslide for him....believe me he'll win! 🤣
Will Biden commit to peaceful acceptance of results?
We don’t care what he thinks! He loses and gets the eff out of the White House. Quit legitimizing his BS by pretending we care what he thinks!
This is why
we promise you when you lose you will leave.
He says get rid of the absentee ballots bit he has been telling his followers to vote by mail and absentee
Yeah because he’s going to win.
He’s a c+t
You might as well hand him a royal crown?
He’s a dictator wanna be. We are gonna throw him out
What did you expect? That he meekly accepts defeat? LOL. He has NEVER been that way. And that's exactly what the GOP needs, and the Democrats fear.
Since no Government agency backs Trump it's a moot point.
He knows he's gone, hes trying to burn everything down before he goes.
