Dumb post, dump comment and a need to be seen. Desperately.

Ever asked yourself why your supporters are afraid for voters to be identified for voting as it's been done the world over.

But hey, we're not expecting logic and common sense from people who advocate for M +M

So in the name of Voter IDs that have never been a requirement in the entire US history, Trump wants to truncate the democratic process.

Do you know that if he is able to make due his threat (which he can't), every serving federal legislator automatically loses his or her seats on expiration of their tenure.

So no Legislative branch.

With no Legislative branch, then Trump can not even run his presidency since the Presidency needs Congressional approval for every dime they spend.

That means Trump will have to rule without the constitution and transform himself to a tyrant.

I think Mr Orange is hungry for impeachment earlier than expected.
He has seen the handwriting on the wall that the Republicans will loose the elections and he will be surely impeached and he's now desperate. He saw the millions of people who protested against him across America last week and he's doing very very bad in the polls so he wants to scatter everywhere.
I warned this guy to be careful of obedient's support. That's the surefire way to fail.

His two previous impeachments failed. Lol

Shut the di*ckens up.
Is he the first president of America?
Haba!! The orange convicted felon deported millions of aliens more than any president in America's history and at the same time he is afraid of alien's votes.? What is he really afraid of? This is just a distraction to save face because he and the Republicans will loose the coming elections. Yeye man. George Bush both father and son were Republicans now. How many foreigners do they deport?
The guy has no real policies except useless noise making.

But he won twice without the voter ID. If he had done well he won't be scared of illegal immigrants or terrorists as you claimed because they actually voted for him in the past.
This same scenario played out in 2023 election in Nigeria when thousands of South Eastern voters thronged into Lagos just to vote against their nightmare Tinubu.

Re: Trump Threatens To Cancel Midterm Elections by Inspiration2017: 4:57pm On Apr 01

Here are the key deductions from the screenshot and the broader context:

The Nairaland post title says "Trump Threatens to Cancel Midterm Elections," but the actual tweet embedded in the post does not say that. What Trump's post actually says is that he may sign an executive order to postpone the midterms — not cancel them. The Nairaland poster (MagicBishop) appears to have sensationalised the headline beyond what the source material supports.

The tweet itself is authentic and consistent with Trump's documented pattern of behaviour. Trump has publicly called for Congress to pass voter ID requirements for the 2026 midterms, and has threatened to act unilaterally if Congress refuses. [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/13/trump-congress-voter-id-midterms.html) The language in the screenshot matches that posture.

However, the threat to postpone midterms via executive order runs into serious constitutional barriers. A federal judge previously ruled that Trump's earlier attempt to reshape election processes by executive order exceeded his authority, writing that the Constitution entrusts Congress and the States — not the President — with authority to regulate federal elections. [ABC News](https://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-issue-executive-order-voter-id-legislation-fails/story?id=130157607)

The most recent development, signed just yesterday, is actually a different but related action. Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to compile verified lists of eligible voters in each state and restricting mail-in ballots to approved recipients only. [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/31/trump-mail-in-voting-executive-order.html) This stops short of postponing elections but pursues the same electoral control agenda through a different route.

Multiple state officials immediately pledged legal challenges, and election law experts described the order as unconstitutional. [Time](https://time.com/article/2026/04/01/trump-executive-order-mail-in-voting-states-rebuke-legal-challenge/)

In summary, the Nairaland thread captures a real and ongoing story — Trump's aggressive push to reshape American elections before November 2026 — but the framing overstates the specific threat. The midterms have not been cancelled or formally threatened with cancellation; what exists is a constitutional standoff between the White House and state election authorities, with courts expected to be the final arbiters.

MagicBishop:
As predicted, Trump has announced that if the US Congress doesn't pass a bill mandating voter IDs , he will pass an executive order postponing the mid term elections indefinitely .

This useless pedophilly presido just behaves like a dictator . Only God knows how many executive orders have being signed by him since inception. But which kind of democracy is America running, if the President has control over election process. Is election planning, administration and coordination part of the functions of the executive ? Or is Trump trying to destroy democracy in America. This man is so erratic .

The voting system has been there for over 120yrs, it was the same voting system that brought him to power twice.
