Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
Yesterday he joked about it. Today he says it. Tomorrow he does it.
So the reason he’s come up with is literally just he thinks he’ll lose?
That’s a very good reason for there to be an election, Donny
No way. The dem votera will just find another distraction/ excuse to sit it out and he’ll get his third term. Calling it now.
DeM bAd
I really don’t give a fuck what this asshole wants.
His very existence in that office is illegal and immoral.
Democrats are concerned. Ahh yes, just concerned. The silence from Dems has been disgusting
Democrats love having trump. They can lower thier standards lower then ever and they feel the voters will be forced to vote for them. Being forced to vote for someone sound like democracy to you?
Normally I would link electoral reform videos, but that time has passed.
This is why I’m rooting for revolution
I’m sure trump is going to call for the mid-terms elections to be cancelled. We’ll still have them, but it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.
If the elections go south for Republicans, I fully expect Mike Johnson to play games with allowing Democrats to be sworn in and seated in Congress. We really need to be preparing for both of these scenarios.
He will declare that Dems cheated everywhere they win, and if the House tries anything, he will declare they are traitors and declare state of emergency claiming absolute power (or whatever other made up shit).
Time to count who sides with whom in the military…

I think you’re absolutely right, as it draws near we will get a steadily increasing narrative how elections are rigged, there’s massive corruption in voting systems (the paper is chinese!) and many other distracting nonsense claims.
But what they have overreached on over and over again is they are broadly very stupid people, and they can’t grasp the scale of this country and the people. I’m sure there will be election shenanigans but I doubt it will be enough to turn the tide. If they try to cancel any elections outright, while people are this tense and ready to riot, there will be widescale violence. Which the administration may want, but no town mayors or state governors want. The states still hold the cards here.
Some people escaped dictatorships… only to end up here… 🫠
People vote for a well known rapist and then are surprised when their country gets fucked.
So many colored people voted for this orange turd, it’s fucking maddening.
Same, for every woman that voted for this child rapist deserves their heads examined.
He already said before that if the Republicans lose the mid terms, and they would, they will, he would be jailed
He’s right
And he will be.
All of this is one big convoluted effort to stay out of jail while inflicting as much fear and pain as possible.
“Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party.”
Yeah, that’s why it’s called VOTING.
but 90 million didn’t vote at all.
Wow it’s almost as though midterms represent some kind of check and balance. Trump and the republicans stand a good chance of being wiped out.
States control election.
Shouldn’t have a felonious, rapist, racist, seditious, stochastic terrorist pedophile as president either, but here we are.
I vote we throw Shitler, the turd Reich and every politician who takes money from Israel into a woodchipper and start over
Well, he said you’d only need to vote the one time.
Trump says a lot of stupid shit.
Trump says a lot of stupid shit.
You misspelled “is”.
Did America vote against the president in the last midterms? I seem to remember MAGA wanted a red wave and got sweet fuck all.
