'We've set up the enemy': Trump biographer claims there's a sinister midterm plan in place
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Donald Trump has already built an excuse if the Republican Party gets a midterm election drubbing in November, according to his biographer. The president has seemingly cleared a path for a case against the Democratic Party performing well by trying to push the SAVE Act through Congress — a bill many have said he knows has no chance of passing.Michael Wolff told The Daily Beast, "Let’s assume this [bill] is not going to pass. So why is he doing this? "The reason he is doing this is to set up and to continue the narrative when he loses the midterms. This then becomes the reason he lost the midterms, and he lost the midterms illegitimately…we’ve set up the enemy here."Should the SAVE Act pass, it would mean citizens are hit with major restrictions on how they vote, including requiring voter ID and tougher measures taken against those who vote by mail. It should be no surprise, according to Wolff, that Trump has pushed forward with this as a potential excuse if the GOP underperforms at the November elections. "He’s pushing this forward because he has pushed this story forward from day one of his political career," he said. "That’s what, essentially, his politics is founded on, this... narrative."Podcast host Joanna Coles asked, "So if he wins, the system is perfect. And if he loses, the system is rigged." Wolff replied, "Yes, but he’s not going to win. So the system is going to be rigged." Trump has tried to pressure Republican reps into making the SAVE Act law ahead of the elections, though the GOP appears to be split on whether to give in to the president. He took to Truth Social earlier this week and wrote, "Democrats are desperate to keep illegals, no matter how bad or dangerous they may be, in the Country. They want them to VOTE! That’s why they are fighting so hard to neutralize ICE. We will fight them all the way, and WIN."
