President Donald Trump issued a foreboding proclamation during a speech in Maryland on Tuesday, just hours after he predicted a “Midterm Surprise!” in a Truth Social post.
“Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, who’s fantastic, he’s on a job, we have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks. Right, Russ?” Trump said. “He’s gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. He’s got some great things happening.”
Trump did not expand on what these so-called “surprises” would be.
Outside his role in the Trump administration, Vought is the primary architect of Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump term.
While not mentioned specifically by Trump, many critics online speculated that Trump was referring to some sort of plan to interfere in the midterm elections.
“Between this and his ‘midterm surprise,’ the time to prepare for him to try to steal an election is now,” Fox News host Jessica Tarlov wrote on X.
Other commenters suggested that Vought could use his official capacity to interfere with the elections.
“I know nothing about Project 2025”
-Trump, 2024
Anyone want to bet the federal gov insourcing gets completed, and then they turn around and screw civil servants by using voter info to purge the fed gov again?
OMB does not handle elections, but they can totally use election info to remove dems from gov. They’ll do it faster than lawsuits can be processed.
That’s my theory anyways.
Didn’t the idiot and chief deny any knowledge or connection to the project!?
He will probably cancel the midterms with an executive order. Doesn’t seem like there is any limit to what he can do with executive orders. Why would a democratic government allow for such power in a single person? Didn’t anybody think those powers would be abused? Might as well be a dictator 🙄. Seems so ridiculous.
Ooops more treason! Surprise!!
Based on comments by vought, I’m guessing national abortion ban.
VOTE.
YES, the mid term elections are ongoing RIGHT NOW in the USA. If you’re a US citizen and you haven’t voted yet then do it, early voting is happening right now.
And even better - use an official ballot drop box instead of mailing it, as there’s still the possibility of USPS fuckery.
Remember when he claimed he had nothing to do with Project 2025? Yeah I know a mother fucker dumb enough to have believed that
My narcissistic ex, literally. Dumb as a fucking rock.
We all have that uncle.
This is FALSE because Donald Trump TOLD ME he DIDNT know what Project 2025 was!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!
Dude, I knew “both sides are the same” types at my work who fucking bought that. My gasts were flabbered.
Piss or get off the pot old man.
He most likely will try, but it’s Trump. His track record speaks for itself: he will fuck it up. Bigly.
I can’t endure the suspense
Hopefully it turns out to be the release of some new Trump-branded schlock people can buy directly from whitehouse.gov and everyone will just be like “of course.”
if he does, the surprise may be on him
In other words:
Stay tuned for his next totally illegal, but totally allowed grift of what’s left on American democracy.
He raped kids. Lady Justice is not off-limits.
Our legal system is broken. He should have gone to jail in the 90s over his rape cases. 13 times he’d been in court well before he was president over rape. Our justice system failed to hold him accountable. He shouldn’t have his wealth either. All the shady real estate deals with with Russia and the blatant money laundering that was. Oh sure he bought properties for a few million and a Russian ‘investor’ buys them for 10s of millions a few years later. Not sus at all.
Americans will reward you for raping kids and kill you for defending them
The time to prepare for him to steal the election has long since passed. And we all know with absolute certainty he will scream to the rooftops every single day that the midterms were stolen if democrats manage to take the House and/or Senate. What the democrats should be doing now is prebunking these claims. They should all be talking about how he will claim the election was stolen and then explain the psychology behind these statements. It lessens its impact.
