Saw a screenshot of this on Bluesky, and it was so disturbing that I had to go to "Trump's Truth" to confirm it was real

I could be wrong, but this seems like some impeachment-worthy shit to me.

We cannot allow there to be an Election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the “convenience” of State Legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it. We should demand that State Legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done. That is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump’s now stating people might have to vote twice. They are attempting to create chaos as a setup for the midterms. This administration doesn’t care about free and fair elections. They rely on gerrymandering to cling to power, all to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

primary results, and redraw their boundaries to gerrymander in favour of him. Even this SC never said it "must be done".

As for impeachment - well, if the shit Trump talks were taken as actions, he'd have been impeached every week. A desire to break the Constitution, steal billions, ruin the planet, and throw the world into a constant state of war is just a desire.

Nothing, not even last minute, desperate, Hail Mary gerrymandering, can stop the Blue Tsunami coming in November.

gerrymandering will save them. They have not noticed that even White Republican and Independent voters do not approve of his administration. Gerrymandering might help the Rs a little, but does not guarantee a Republican win. Red districts have been voting blue in special elections

Maybe we should start protests now to "Stop the MAGA rigging."

... so that excludes the Orange Toddler who still isn't toilet-trained.
Nosferatu, or Russell Vought, maybe. They're both Nazi psychopaths hell bent on destroying democracy. And shifting any potential blame onto the SCROTUS in advance absolves them of any responsibility.

It both gives his enablers cover if there are ever consequences coming to this administration, but more importantly, it gives Trump an air of cognitive coherence and English mastery. How many people discount his dementia like actions as mere style-switching by pointing to somewhat coherent Truth Social posts, prerecorded video, and teleprompter readings. If you distill away what has been written by others, a mind in a less clear and knowledgeable state emerge.

... to give people an opportunity to vote after a bomb threat or machine malfunction is "appalling," but cancelling a primary where voting is already underway is mandatory.

Whatever you can say for these fucks, they are perfectly consistent on one thing: their monumental hypocrisy.

But seriously, fuck that guy and his deplorable SCOTUS enablers. Like cancelling an election for gerrymandering purposes is somehow mandatory, perhaps even moral? No. Not even close. But we should be asking, "If this is the hand they're showing us, from what does it distract?" These assholes are all about the shiny misdirect, the villain twirling his moustache and elaborating bombastically on the details of his evil plan while his minions slip arsenic into the water cooler.
