Social media was flooded with concerns on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump’s disturbing refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses the November election. Trump was asked at a White House press conference if he would commit to a peaceful transferal of power if he lost. “Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a peaceful ... there won’t be a transfer, frankly, there’ll be a continuation,” he said. For months, Trump has laid the groundwork to declare the election results illegitimate unless he wins. In July, he told Fox News anchor Chris Wallace that he’ll “have to see” if he’ll accept the results of the election.
