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.

    You asked why Americans won’t do anything and I answered. I’m not a psyop, I’m just a dude trying to feed my family and keep the roof over our heads. you want me go erect a guillotine in DC? cool let me go get shot or thrown in prison while my family starves. I’m not saying nothing can be done, I’m just not the right person to say what it is that we can do.
