CNN Now Pushing Conspiracy Theory That Trump is Going to Cancel Future Elections

CNN is now pushing the conspiracy theory, popular among leftists, that President Trump is going to cancel future elections.

For years, while Republicans were out of power, CNN and other liberal media outlets constantly accused people on the right of embracing and pushing conspiracy theories. You know, things like the Hunter Biden laptop, Biden’s mental infirmity, things like that which ultimately turned out to be true.

Now that Democrats are out of power, CNN thinks nothing of pushing untrue conspiracy theories, just because they think it could potentially harm Trump politically.

This is an actual CNN report:

From the report:

When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics.

Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.

“So you say during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump responded. “So let me just say, three and a half years from now – so you mean, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

Laughter ensued. Trump wondered aloud what the “fake news” would do with his comment.

But increasingly, Democrats aren’t laughing.

A growing number of them are arguing Trump will do something to either try to cancel or commandeer elections to keep his hold on power.

That might seem ridiculous to some. Trump hasn’t explicitly said he plans to cancel elections, and he said last month he would “probably not” run for a third term, which the Constitution forbids anyway. But the president has certainly floated such possibilities before and done plenty of anti-democratic things.

Ed Morrissey comments at Hot Air:

This hysteria is just another manifestation of Democrats’ derangement and obsession with Trump and their tunnel-vision focus on nothing else. They have spent four years pursuing the “Trump is an existential danger to democracy” strategy when all it turns out is that their Trump obsession is an existential danger to the Democrat Party. They have stopped bothering to govern entirely, as Newsom in particular showed during the wildfires at the beginning of the year. Pritzker shrugged off the violence in Chicago this week by wondering why anyone cared that cities are violent and crime-ridden.

Democrats look like they are already searching for excuses if they lose the 2026 midterms or the 2028 election. Their failures are never because of them. It has to be some outside force working against them in a grand conspiracy. See the Russia collusion hoax for a nearly perfect example.
