Donald Trump is right to be terrified about the November midterms. Republican predictions are gloomy across the board, thanks to cratering presidential approval ratings, a disastrous economy, ongoing tariff chaos, and recent shock Democratic wins in deep red states.
If there is a Democratic landslide, Trump’s presidency is cut off at the knees. Without control of the Senate and House, he’ll find it much harder to push through new laws, and his ability to enforce executive orders will be greatly diminished.
We’re still a long way away from voting day, but Trump will not countenance becoming a lame duck president and a pesky little thing like the democratic will of the American people cannot be allowed to ruin his plans.
Suspicions have already been raised that the Trump administration will deploy every dirty trick in its arsenal to rig the vote, and now we know how.
Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines. https://t.co/oZ8zw88Dpk

As per The Washington Post, a fiercely pro-Trump group of attorneys has unveiled a draft executive order that’ll be music to the president’s ears. This insists that China interfered in the 2020 election, with the danger still so great that Donald Trump must declare a state of national emergency and assume direct control of the voting system.
Who cares what the American people want?
Trump himself has seen the order, which would strictly mandate that all citizens present specific forms of identification before voting, that the ballots not be electronically counted, and that there will be no mail-in ballots.
Trump is exploring illegal options to nationalize the election. It’s not about whether he will or won’t, it’s about convincing his people that a loss, means an election was stolen. This is unacceptable. Full video link in reply pic.twitter.com/KlmgkkXtQb

Kind of a funny coincidence that all these measures designed to combat Chinese interference (which, by the way, there’s absolutely no evidence of) also suppress the Democrat vote and allow MAGA devotees to manipulate the vote count much more easily!
Florida attorney Peter Ticktin is urging this order to be rushed through, saying, “At this point, it’s got to be ASAP, because we got primaries”. Ticktin, by the way, is personally representing Tina Peters, the only person to be convicted of tampering with voting equipment in the 2020 election… to benefit Donald Trump.
He went on to underline that this is definitely 100% a national emergency, so Trump must be given this new authority over elections:
“The Constitution basically gives the power to the state legislators, not the governors, not any judges, not anything in the federal government, but just the state legislatures, the power to determine how that state is going to conduct its elections. So the President doesn’t have any power to change that … But we really do have an election emergency right now,”
Yeah, we do have an election emergency! It’s you!
This is on top of Trump loyalists explaining that ICE will be guarding voting booths in a move to scare non-whites away from casting a ballot. The Trump administration is relishing its power, so don’t expect them to give it up just because voters express their disgust and anger come November.
