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.

    It’s like that airplane interview when Lindsay Graham is like “we gotta help the people of venuezala”, then Trump goes straight back to rambling about oil when Lindsay is trying to smooth trumps deranged babbling over.

    He’s a terrible liar, has no idea how to cover things properly.
