HILLARY Clinton has blasted President Donald Trump as a “cheat” while her husband Bill said Trump will “stack sandbags around the White House” so he doesn’t leave in 2021.
In an interview with journalist April Ryan on Tuesday, the Clintons encouraged Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden not to concede to Trump this fall.

“Do not concede under any circumstance because I believe the other side is going to cheat and sneak and try everything they possibly can,” Hillary said.
The former Democratic presidential candidate – who lost to Trump in the 2016 election – reiterated what she told Biden in August.
Ryan joked that if Biden’s elected, Trump’s “orange knuckles” won’t let go of his desk in the Oval Office.
That’s when the former president remarked that “he probably won’t even come to Biden’s inauguration.”
“He’ll be stacking sandbags around in the White House,” said Bill, who served as United States president from 1993 to 2001.
“It’s very important to keep in mind that beneath all these big questions you are asking [is] just Donald Trump’s proven ability to manipulate the psyche of the people that he is trying to scare the hell out of,” he added.
“Now, this is a person who says, ‘OK, I can’t win on my own, but people will believe whatever I tell them as long as it’s bad.”
Bill said that Trump “cannot help who he is. He is who he is. He believes we’re suckers.”
“He believes he can say anything and make it work,” he added. “[Trump] believes he can do anything and no one will stop [him].”
Likewise, his wife and the former Secretary of State said that “there is no alternative” but to defeat Trump this November.
“He is a clear and present danger to our freedoms, our liberties, our unity, and we’ve got to defeat him,” Hillary noted.
In August, Hillary said: “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.”
During the Democratic National Convention last month, she said that Trump would try to “sneak or steal his way to victory.”
The 72-year-old told voters to bring an “overwhelming” turnouts at voting sites to make sure there wasn’t any room to doubt the results of the election.
Trump has said the only way he would lose this fall is if the election was rigged.
“The only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election,” Trump said during the Republican National Convention.
He’s claimed that Democrats are trying to “steal” the election through mail-in voting.
“This is going to be the greatest scam in history,” he later said during an interview on Fox News.
“This will be the most fraudulent election in history. It’s a terrible thing. They are trying to steal the election.”
Experts have said that voting via the US Postal Service has proven remarkably secure, and Republicans were unable to provide evidence that it wasn’t as part of a recent lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
During the 2016 election against Hilary, Trump made the same claims – that the election was rigged against him.
