Didn't take a rocket surgeon to see where he was going with his preemptive election fraud narrative and to also take a guess at what might come after November 3 .

U.S. election: What happens if Trump loses to Biden, but refuses to concede?
"President Donald Trump has refused to say he’d accept the results of the election in the event that he loses, and in the
closing days of the race, some of his supporters have taken his faulty or unsubstantiated
claims about voter fraud to heart.
At a packed outdoor rally in this battleground state Wednesday, Trump said the polls that show him trailing the Democratic nominee Joe Biden are “fake,” drawing boos from the crowd and raising their expectations of victory. He also said he feared voter fraud, which studies have repeatedly found to be
extremely rare, and in most cases nonexistent.
“The biggest problem we have is if they cheat with the ballots. That's my biggest problem,” he told supporters at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport this week. “That's my only thing — that's the only thing I worry about.”
U.S. President
Donald Trump is doubling down on claims that the upcoming election could be rigged, leading experts to sound the alarm over what could be the country’s first non-peaceful transition of power.

Joe Biden on Nov. 3.
“Well we’re going to have to see what happens,” he said. “You know that I’ve been complaining about the ballots, the ballots are a disaster.”
“There won’t be a transfer, frankly,” he said. “There’ll be a continuation.”
On Friday, Trump again sowed doubt about the election results, saying the only way he would lose is “if there’s mischief.”
