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.

    We don’t have rights here in the US, we have privileges. They’ve been revoking a lot of our privileges lately.

      Yeah when you explicitly define your freedoms you put a hard limit on freedom. Land of the Free? More like Land of the Enslaved. You should be defining your restrictions so you have infinite freedoms.
