Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.

“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.

    Well, its in the history books now: more than half of them thought otherwise. I suppose you’re right in that apparently the other group dont love their country enough to get off their privileged asses to exercise their right to vote and therefore can’t be considered ‘american’ enuff for you. Oh well.

      Yes, but voting for the other candidate wouldn’t have instantly solved all problems now and forever, so you might as well just let the blatant fascist win.
