I read Peter Bourque’s LTE in Thursday’s October 9th Star.
He wrote “Donald Trump is smart. He knew that sending National Guard troops to Chicago or Portland, “would provoke loud protests . . . some shoving and heckling, and prompt someone to cross a real or imagined line. Doing so provided “the pretext for establishing law and order” concluding the President is “purposely and vengefully “causing a problem so he could exert power over cities.
Thanks, but I think he was only half right.
In early March, I predicted such behavior would be the pretext for the President canceling or controlling the outcome of the 2026 mid-term elections. I based that on the polls projecting Republicans couldn’t win the mid-term elections, and they knew it. The polls have gotten worse for them since March.
I stand by my prediction. There will be no free and fair mid-term elections. Republicans, including the President, are aware they can’t win them and won’t allow them to take place.
