Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

    Let’s send a “Presidential Integrity Army” to the White House. A few million should do the trick. Burn it to the ground, with the rats and roaches trapped inside. It will be worth the cost to rebuild it.

      Americans are too fat, disengaged, and complacent to ever raise one fat bloated finger off the couch to do anything. They are a population completely lulled into passivity.

          They mentioned protest. You jumped to blowing someone’s head off. This is what’s wrong with America. You think that the next reasonable step after doing nothing is outright murder. It’s not.

        I mean. We aren’t even allowed to talk about doing it. Reddit banned me for similar comments.
