Angry Trump Accidentally Blurts Out Unnerving New Plot to Rig Midterms
President Donald Trump raged at Democrats Monday for supposedly cheating in elections in a long and unhinged Truth Social rantand buried in his tirade is a clear indication of how he hopes to corrupt the 2026 midterm elections at a time when his agenda is nose-diving in polls.
In his screed, Trump rehashed his familiar lies about how mail balloting is riddled with fraud, and promised to lead a new movement to abolish it.
But then he added this:
WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an agent for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes.
Trump already unveiled a similar executive order in March designed to change election rules. It would have barred states from accepting ballots mailed on time but that arrive after Election Day and forced state officials to require documented proof of citizenship for everyone who registers to vote in federal elections.

Yet the dumbass himself votes by mail.

During the oval office press conference just now with Zelenski, Trump was saying something about how Ukraine suspended elections while being at war. One of the reporters jokingly said something like "you'd like that" and he grinned. Made me cringe.
