President Donald Trump said Wednesday that “we shouldn’t even have an election,” as he complained about the political risks his party faces in the 2026 midterms and boasted about his accomplishments.

Trump made the comment in an interview with Reuters while venting about the long-standing reality that the party of a sitting president often loses seats in midterm elections.

    There will not be a fair election in 2026. Trump will declare martial law in 2026 to enforce that. Then he will have control of every local government and the regime will hold power for decades. There are plenty of things we can do to help prevent it without killing anyone, but zero of those things involve standing on a street holding a sign.
