The thing is they know the GOP is going to lose heavily in 2026 and 2028 and virtually everything Trump has done will be overturned. So no they're going to make sure there aren't any more free and fair elections.

I used to be a photographer, but I got sick of the entire industry.

Considering the sheer number of flagrantly illegal acts the man has committed in just the past week, it seems obvious he's pushing to see just how far the courts are going to allow him to go. Make no mistake, he thinks he's a king. He will continue to act like one.
