After days of speculation over exactly what Donald Trump meant when he called on Republicans to “take over” American elections, the commander in chief has clarified that he will accept the 2026 midterm results — but only if they are “honest.”
On Wednesday, Trump told NBC News’ Tom Llamas that he will only accept the results of the 2026 midterm elections if they are “honest,” and that if he believes they aren’t, then “something else has to happen.”
He made the comment after Llamas asked him to clarify what he meant when he called to “nationalize” the elections. Under the U.S. Constitution, the states are given the right to oversee elections. The process has limited input from the federal government.
Fair means that he wins. 2020 was unfair because he didn’t win. 2024 was fair because he won.
2024 was unfair because he didn’t win by a landslide.
I just want him to clarify that out loud…
I sometimes want to see that too, but then I remind myself, narcissistic sociopath abusers will never be capable of sticking to any standards that do not get them what they want.
Their brains will not only dynamically remake their own reality to make them always have been right, but they will demand the entire world change their fundamental reality so the abuser is right, rather than infinitesimally change themselves in response to being wrong. Any “admission” we get is just helping us delude ourselves that they have the capacity to admit fault.
The only thing for us to learn from them is that they can never be trusted.
