After days of speculation over exactly what Donald Trump meant when he called on Republicans to “take over” American elections, the commander in chief has clarified that he will accept the 2026 midterm results — but only if they are “honest.”
On Wednesday, Trump told NBC News’ Tom Llamas that he will only accept the results of the 2026 midterm elections if they are “honest,” and that if he believes they aren’t, then “something else has to happen.”
He made the comment after Llamas asked him to clarify what he meant when he called to “nationalize” the elections. Under the U.S. Constitution, the states are given the right to oversee elections. The process has limited input from the federal government.
The most blatant traitor in American history and America still hasn’t handled him.
Fucking wild.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think we were this weak.
I grew up in a conservative area, in a conservative household, survival preppers even.
I was raised my whole youth with the narrative that we were collecting guns and supplies for the day that the federal government starts taking away our rights and interfering with democracy.
For my entire younger life, growing up in the cold war, it was the back-country, blue-blooded American way to push back against Russia, against threats to our vote, against government overreach and intereferring in both people’s personal lives as well as the business of other countries.
I changed ideology as soon as I escaped and got a taste of reality, but I still do believe we need to protect our democracy with force, and now that’s the opposite of the conservative stance and it’s like living in the Upsidedown. I understand how we got here, but I am constantly astonished how fucking stupid everyone is. Everyone.
I grew up in conservative south. I got wrapped up in the 2a against tyranny too. I agree that it does make sense. I too am baffled by how they are the tyrant’s forces.
If you go far enough left, you get your guns back . . .
When the death certificate is written for the American empire, the cause of death will read “greed, apathy”.
I challenge the apathy part. There is a lot of apathy, no doubt. But, I think most who are seen as apathetic are just weak, selfish, and lack foresight. They would prefer a different situation, but not at the cost of their own pain.
If you need to mention elections “being honest”, you want to skew them in some way in your favor eg. “I will only accept, if I win.” Like, dude, just fuck off already. You cant run for the third term anyways.
I have this nagging feeling that he can
If no one stops him he absolutely will
Fuck off, pedo. Just fuck off already.
The most dishonest pedo child eater asking for honesty to concede a win to an opponent
this flashy ass crack really has audacity
He doesnt have the authority to “not accept” an election. Who cares what he thinks about elections. The states conduct the elections, not him. He can go eff himself.
Media companies need to point this out in their headlines. They are misleading people into thinking his opinions matters.
The question isn’t isn’t is it legal - the administration is breaking the law every minute.
The question is who is going to stop them. The point of the ICE army is to have armed force to enforce the GOP coup - who is going to be on the other side?
By honest he means “I win every state no matter what”.
He doesnt get to decide. So he can fuck right off.
luckily the president has no role in accepting the results. Ill only accept them if they are actually honest rather than trumpy honest and are not “nationalized”
What happens when the President says he does?
What in the goddamn fuck is NATIONALIZED VOTING
I DON’T LIKE THAT VERY MUCH
Since when did the president get to decide if voters really mean it? This guy just makes up whatever bullshit and it’s like well ok I guess
WTF
Any idea how polling protection groups will work this time around? I’m not really sure what it means to nationalize voting, nor the extent of what it means to have ICE outside of polling locations.
Edit: I’m looking into joining up with a group to protect the polls this midterm.
It’s a whole helluva lot harder to oppress armed people in large groups.
I’d suggest looking for a local Mutual Aid group, if you have one near you. They’re the most likely places to find people wanting to join you in that endeavor. If you can’t find anything like that, try a local DSA chapter.
Perhaps a local SRA chapter would be interested in that too?
La dee da, la dee da, oh shit the midterms sucked for me! Time to say they’re not honest! What’s that you say? Oh they were actually good for me? Uhh never mind guys! They’re totally honest!
Same shit he has said every election for 10 years.
I wish people would cop this dumb fuck’s modus operandi by now: he’ll called it rigged if he looses, and he’s also called it rigged if he doesn’t win with 100% of the vote everywhere. Because anything otherwise would send him into a spiral of narcissistic collapse.
Last time he didn’t have a 100,000 strong ICE army
I fully expect him to throw a fit and have to be forcibly removed when it’s finally his time to leave the white house.
They should be more concerned about what he’s going to steal this time around. Whatever stuff he’d be taking with him, he won’t be stashing that in his Maralago toilet this time around.
Yeah that happened the first time too.
Yep thats the plan.
Ask him to define ‘fair’ ahead of time. The man has no idea what the word means
Fair means that he wins. 2020 was unfair because he didn’t win. 2024 was fair because he won.
2024 was unfair because he didn’t win by a landslide.
I just want him to clarify that out loud…
