Just a quick thing today about a comment from Trump that most people missed. Then I’m back in the research chamber finding out how the Trump administration, the Justice Department and others are working to interfere with next year’s election.
But I wanted to flag Trump’s comment, made during a back-and-forth with reporters and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.
Zelenskyy was asked if he’ll hold elections once peace is reached between Ukraine and Russia. Of course, Zelenskyy said. But he couldn’t safely guarantee “legal” elections while the war continues. That’s when Trump chimed in: Oh, you mean you can suspend elections during wartime?
Imagine if I did that, Trump said. Joking? Not joking? It doesn’t matter because something like this is a reasonably foreseeable. If you don’t believe me, just listen to Trump’s own words about how maybe being a dictator isn’t such a bad idea, or how he can declare national emergencies whenever he wants, send the troops wherever he wants, and maybe even serve a third term.
Anyway, share this post and video far and wide, because I don’t think everyone is paying close enough attention.
