Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, January 15, 2026

During an interview with Reuters, when President Trump was told that a poll found tepid support among Americans for taking control of Greenland, Trump called the poll "fake." The president also expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the US House of Representatives or the Senate in this year's midterm elections. "It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms," Trump whined. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that "when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election."

NEW: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was "simply joking" when he said that "we shouldn't even have a midterm election," and clarified that the president was simply praising his administration's success.

"With regard to Ukraine, Dummkopf Trumpf again suggested that ICC-indicted war criminal Russian President Vladimir Putin was ready to strike a deal. Asked directly what the hold-up was, Trumpf unfairly blamed: "Zelensky," referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has maintained his country won't seek peace at any cost.

Trumpf appeared to express some sympathy for the unnecessary death of Renee Nicole Good, after an ICE agent shot and killed her in cold blood last week in Minneapolis, calling it "a very unfortunate incident." Trumpf's homeland security secretary, good-for-nothing sociopath Kristi Noem, slandered Good as a "domestic terrorist."

But even so, the unpopular geriatric pedophile made clear he was standing behind his idiotic choice to send militarized officers into American cities.

"I know that it was a tough situation to be in. There was very little respect shown to the police, in this case, the ICE officers," Trumpf bleated."

I'm curious to see how long she can sustain this ruse...

Fortunately, the mechanisms that enable the midterm elections are intact, and there is no path for him to stop them.

The terms of 1/3 of the senators and all of the representatives end on January 3, 2027. Without them there, his money will end soon after. There is NO mechanism to extend their terms without an election. And the elections are controlled by the states, not the federal government.

If red states decide not to have an election, they will have no representation in the house, and will lose every senator up for election.

And if you think he can stop the election - we had an election in 1864. In the middle of a civil war. The states that purported to secede did not get any representation, the rest did.
