Trump Says He'll Only Accept 2026 Midterms If He Deems Them "Honest"
truthout.org
... Trump's comments on Wednesday come just days after he called on Republicans to "nationalize" state-managed elections. ...
In an interview with NBC News's Tom Llamas on Wednesday, President Donald Trump indicated that it's possible he won't accept the outcome of the 2026 midterms.
Asked whether he'd respect the results of the elections that will be held later this year, Trump said he would only do so if he deemed the outcomes to be legitimate.
"I will [accept the midterm outcomes] if the elections are honest," Trump said.
Trump also said that if the elections aren't "honestly" conducted, "then something else has to happen."
The president's judgment on what constitutes an "honest" election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about the results of recent elections. ...
@#7 ... The president's judgment on what constitutes an "honest" election is highly suspect ...
Highly suspect?
Not really.
If Pres Trump wins an election, the election is valid.
If Pres Trump loses an election, the election is invalid.
See, simple.

Trump had been defeated by Joe Biden in the election, but refused to accept the outcome,[1] and made a months-long effort to overturn the results. ...
UPDATE: It's too little, too late, but Trump's going to find those 11,781 votes if it kills him. LOL
