Like most of the Americans, including the reporters of the White House, I have tune the great incessant lie of Donald Trump that he won the 2020 presidential elections, “As much.” That means that his nonsense about the manipulated vote and the deception of the Democrats are not questioned, and continues to undermine faith in the US elections. After all, it is not as if someone can silence him.
Still, it's time to stop tuning. Whether a journalist in the rhythm or a citizen in a conversation anywhere, pays attention and retreated against Trump's anti -American scrub. Because in recent days, the president of Power-Drunk has telegraphed in several ways that his great lie is not only about a past choice, but a pretext for what he could do to interrupt the next, the medium-term elections 2026 for Congress.
Other 2020 electoral liars are paying a great price, literally. Only this week, Newsmax from the right Agreed to pay $ 67 million for Dominion voting systems, above $ 40 million in March to Smartmatic, to resolve the defamation demands based on the false Newsmax reports (Trump echo) that the companies manipulated voting machines for Joe Biden. The Newsmax fine, of course, is eclipsed by the $ 787 million that Fox News paid to the domain in 2023; In a pending trial, smartmatic Look for $ 2.7 billion of fox.
Meanwhile, the president of the United States continues to be at the same slope, almost immune to legal actions, as it prepares the scenario by 2026.
On Friday, after the Trump Bro-Fest Summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine, Trump happily told Sean Hannity of Fox in Alaska that the two presidents diverted to discuss the 2020 elections in the United States and what do you know? -Putin, the master manipulator trained by KGB and the well -known honest election referee (NO) supposedly assured Trump that, yes, he really won great, but the election was manipulated against him.
As apart here, remember that Hannity and other Fox Network stars Private garbage Trump's 2020 elections are found, according to presentations in the demand for domain, and that Hannity testified Under oath: “I didn't believe it for a second.” However, in Anchorage, Hannity nodded Trump said The one that Putin said that Trump won in 2020 “Therefore,” but “his choice was manipulated because he has vote by mail … it is impossible to have vote by mail and have honest choices.”
Assuming that Putin said that what Trump affirms, the Russian was playing for Trump's long and based not only against the 2020 elections but also against vote by mail, that democratic voters use much more than Republicans. And Trump, always the useful idiot of the Kremlin, took his example: early Monday morning, he declared In a long social media diatribe, full of errors and very capitalized, “would lead a movement” to ban mail tickets and Voting machines.
Triumph Putin's repeated falsehood that the United States is “the only country in the world that uses the vote by mail. Everyone others abandoned it due to the massive voting fraud found.” But Actuallydozens of countries use mail tickets and, as with other forms of voting, investigation, together with the courts, have found that fraud is Making weird.
The president's position on the mail tickets is like his position in a high fire in Ukraine: he was in favor of him before being against (and it was for both things before being caught on Putin's website on Friday). In 2024, folding the allegations of Republican officials to leave their opposition to mail tickets, Trump tax Vote supporters by mail – as he typically and hypocritical, he does – And even recorded a Video promotion.
Now that Trump has returned to opposite mail tickets, on social networks on Monday morning, once again contradicted the simple words of the Constitution to claim powers that it does not have, which can order the states that get rid of the mail tickets and the voting machines. “Remember, states are simply an” agent “for the federal government by counting and tabulating the votes,” he wrote. “They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, says.”
Here is the constitution of ESO: “The times, places and way of holding elections for senators and representatives will be prescribed. In each state by the legislature of the same. “
It is only one more proof that the two times Trump lent the oath to defend the Constitution and “see that the laws are faithfully executed,” he also lied.
The president has since repeated That he, with the Republican allies, “will do everything possible” to finish the mail tickets. And he is saying The quiet part aloud: without mail vote, he told journalists in the Oval office on Monday: “You are not going to be chosen. That is bigger than anything that has to do with the redistribution of districts.”
There you have it. Trump's “movement” against mail tickets, along with his impulse for red states to draw the lines of the Congress district to choose more Republicans, is part of how He is Trying the platform elections in 2026, in what is expected to be a bad year for its party given its unpopularity. And everything is based on the great lie about non -existent democratic elections traps.
There are other warning signs: Trump's military acquisition of the Columbia district. (Every day brings Another announcement of a Republican governor who sends National Guard troops). His occupation of Los Angeles. Repeated threats to send troops to other large and blue cities. All for deceptive reasons and about the objections of the local and state leaders chosen.
It is totally imaginable, then, that in the statements overcome (absolutely destined words game) about the possible electoral fraud, Trump would militarize the cities of democratic vote in time for the elections of next year. At least, that would surely intimidate some possible voters. In the worst case, well, I don't even want to speculate on the worst.
When Trump entered the presidential policy a decade ago, journalists took time to apply the word l: liar. But he won it. Now he is inviting us to expand the nomenclature to include autocrat, dictator or even the F pump, fascist.
