What could he be cooking up?

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”

    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.
