With just fifteen days left to run for re-election to the White House, US President Donald Trump at a rally on Friday night reflected on the possibility of leaving the country if he lost in the election, CNN reported. Addressing a rally in Macon in Georgia, Trump said: “Can you imagine if I lose? I’m not going to feel so good. I may have to leave the country, I don’t know. ”
Meanwhile, his Democratic rival Joe Biden took the opportunity to poke fun at Trump. In a tweet titled “Promise?”, He posted a video of Trump making similar remarks multiple times.

On Friday, Trump addressed supporters in Florida and Georgia, both states he had bagged in the 2016 election. However, according to the New York Times, the electoral map could change this time.
In his speeches, Trump attacked Biden, claiming that his family is a “criminal enterprise,” reported AFP. He went on to say that the Democrats would turn America into a “communist country.” “It’s time we sent a message to these wealthy liberal hypocrites,” he said in Georgia.
The US president’s speech was also racist when he said: “Democrats will flood their communities with illegal aliens, drugs, crime.”
‘It’s getting worse’: Joe Biden on the coronavirus crisis
On the other hand, Biden on campaign in Michigan once again criticized the president’s handling of the coronavirus crisis. “He keeps telling us that this virus is going to disappear like a miracle,” Biden said. “My lord! It is not disappearing, in fact it is increasing again, it is getting worse, as predicted.”
He also said Trump’s reluctance to condemn the far-right and white supremacists was a “dog whistle” for such groups.
On September 29, Trump sidestepped a question about white supremacists and refused to condemn them during the first of three presidential debates with his opponent in the upcoming election, Democrat and former Vice President Joe Biden.
