President Donald Trump is being ridiculed on social media after insisting that he would withdraw from public life should he lose the 2020 presidential election to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
“If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Trump said at a campaign rally North Carolina on Saturday. “I will never speak to you again, you’ll never see me,” he vowed.
Trump’s remarks stoke fears he may try to hold onto power regardless of the will of the voters.
Here’s some of what people were saying:

That is generally the idea, Donald…you know, when someone commits conspiracy against the United States, espionage, perjury, RICO, treason, etc. We lock them up and throw away the key.

No, his trial will be televised.

He’ll be in Russia sipping vodka with Putin. I’d much prefer him being in prison meeting his new soul mate and living out the end of his days.

We'll see him again at his trial for rape, or the one for fraud, or tax evasion, or campaign finance violations, maybe the ones for money laundering. We'll see him again.

If Biden wins, Trump is going to be tweeting 26 hours a day. It's going to be an incredible shit show.

Is he sniffing the water for a pardon?

He's going to run out of the country to avoid jail. They need to keep a close eye on him pic.twitter.com/PdRjcgqy8Q

I'm already going to vote the SECOND my State opens for voting… I don't think I can get there any faster, but after this, I WILL try.
