President Donald Trump issued a foreboding proclamation during a speech in Maryland on Tuesday, just hours after he predicted a “Midterm Surprise!” in a Truth Social post.
“Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, who’s fantastic, he’s on a job, we have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks. Right, Russ?” Trump said. “He’s gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. He’s got some great things happening.”
Trump did not expand on what these so-called “surprises” would be.
Outside his role in the Trump administration, Vought is the primary architect of Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump term.
While not mentioned specifically by Trump, many critics online speculated that Trump was referring to some sort of plan to interfere in the midterm elections.
“Between this and his ‘midterm surprise,’ the time to prepare for him to try to steal an election is now,” Fox News host Jessica Tarlov wrote on X.
Other commenters suggested that Vought could use his official capacity to interfere with the elections.
“I know nothing about Project 2025”
-Trump, 2024
Surprise everyone! Women can’t vote anymore, nor can brown people.
also, no one who can do math without a calculator, and people who read.
A literal coup, seizing voting machines and denying results, arresting Democratic candidates who won their elections. We’ve already established that the law and the constitution means nothing to this administration so everything is on the table.
Good thing all those second amendment fanatics are politically literate, right?

Here’s a quick summary of what I think he is gonna do.
- Declare a state of emergency in order to prevent the midterms.
- if step 1 doesn’t happen then he will have armed guards at as many polling stations as possible, especially in blue/poor states.
- when the republicans are hopefully defeated in the midterms he will cry foul and that the democrats cheated. Calling for another January 6th across the nation.
- regardless of the outcome Donny will then invaded Iran.
- going into the Christmas holiday or the beginning of 2027 he will try to get the Supreme Court to give him the right to run a 3rd term.
- when that doesn’t happen (fingers crossed) he will still run for a 3rd term anyway.
The important point: Republicans aren’t leaving office regardless of what happens.
Well, not willingly perhaps.
It would make my fuckin year if they don’t.
Yes.

Yes definitely, I think he will play a part in step 2.
he’s the loser nobody wanted along but he’s paying for everything so they let him come too.
I genuinely don’t see him invading Iran. It’s a guaranteed belly-flop. Much more likely he continues pretending the US already won.
Bibi will wave the tape, and then he will.
I don’t think so. It’s not as if longstanding, bipartisan US policy isn’t antagonistic towards Iran for its own reasons. I do think Bibi helped coax Trump into actually bombing Iran by giving him a rosy assessment, but even Trump won’t fall for that twice.
I hope you are right, ofcourse. But things are getting so unpredictable and illogical that I really don’t know what to expect.
I hear ya. What actually worries me is if Europe decides to involve itself militarily. I think the chance is slim, but that’s the only way I could see any attempted invasion of Iran. They are in a very tight spot with energy, and they seem to be 100% against negotiating with Russia, while also 100% unable (or unwilling) to influence Trump regarding Iran. Hard to imagine they could dedicate any military resources towards Iran though, considering what they already send to Ukraine, or want to deter Russia with. Still, as winter comes and fuel costs rise, something will have to give.
No, Iran invasion is pure fantasy. Europe can’t change that equation, not enough troops to spare and they’re not really built to fight outside of Europe in large numbers. Iran will need millions of soldiers committed. The US barely has 400,000 combat soldiers.
For instance how are they even going to get the border of Iran? They can’t go in from Pakistan or Central Asia and the US Navy is a hollowed out enshitified joke, so doing a naval invasion is even more absurd.
So they’ll have to invade and secure Iraq just to set the stage for an invasion of Iran. And that’s assuming they could defeat a combined Iran-Iraqi force. But how are they going to build up an invasion force? 2003 Iraq Invasion force took a year to build and that was in peaceful conditions with full control of the gulf and had intact bases.
The most that they can hope for is trying to take and hold the Islands in the strait. Which will fail and fail hard because Iran has had months and months prepare for it where as the US hasn’t committed a single soldier to combat and yet it’s logistics are at the breaking point and it’s defensive munitions are already spent! Trillion dollars a year well spent!
Militarily, the US is a barely a shadow of what it was just 20 years ago. It’s been thoroughly Russified.
I agree with pretty much everything you say here, but the last sentence.
I think we are safe there, as they will need at least 20 years to decide on that.
Don’t underestimate the power of cholesterol.
He’s gonna live to be at least 102
- Donny dies…
Vought is a little weasel. I hope he gets to see the inside of a prison.
“I don’t know what Project 2025 is.”
- Donald J. Trump
From this to secret “mythical end of war after the mid terms” magic, the only reason for secrecy is that they would be horribly unpopular plans that would negatively impact mid term election results if they were done/disclosed now.
If they pull shenanigans, how far can a trebuchet launch Molotov cocktails towards certain buildings (in order to voice our displeasure)?
The only real way to know is to try it out!
The time to prepare for him to steal the election has long since passed. And we all know with absolute certainty he will scream to the rooftops every single day that the midterms were stolen if democrats manage to take the House and/or Senate. What the democrats should be doing now is prebunking these claims. They should all be talking about how he will claim the election was stolen and then explain the psychology behind these statements. It lessens its impact.
Ooops more treason! Surprise!!
Mark my words. There will be an attack on a city in California in the next 3 weeks. Iran will “claim responsibility”. Elections will be cancelled and martial law will be set in place. Trump will remain president until he dies. His regime will remain in power permanently. The United States as we know it will end by the end of next year. There will be a gas shortage with no plan to help anyone since the rich already have what they need. There will be massive food shortages due to this. Millions will die in the next 2 years from disease, hunger, and war within our borders.
The rich will come out on top and we all lose. Enjoy your last few weeks or normalcy. It gets dark from here.
rich already have what they need.
There’s a big fail in your assumption
How?
The financially obese are never sated.
I’ll mark your words with a big giant red X because it’s some doomerist bullshit.
Why?
Nah, if the ship goes down, everyone goes with it. The rich will not escape.
Consider your words marked.
He most likely will try, but it’s Trump. His track record speaks for itself: he will fuck it up. Bigly.
if he does, the surprise may be on him
He will probably cancel the midterms with an executive order. Doesn’t seem like there is any limit to what he can do with executive orders. Why would a democratic government allow for such power in a single person? Didn’t anybody think those powers would be abused? Might as well be a dictator 🙄. Seems so ridiculous.
Watch Americans do nothing, if y’all do nothing when Donald’s nulifyed the election, nobody is going to respect what you say or do anymore, no matter what. You think euros are annoying now making fun of you, just wait until Donald trys nullifying states rights.
Yeah dude at least Europe finally cut down on buying arms from the US.
Always uses the same shit. Couple weeks, two weeks, few weeks.
Nothing ever comes of it.
