President Donald Trump issued a foreboding proclamation during a speech in Maryland on Tuesday, just hours after he predicted a āMidterm Surprise!ā in a Truth Social post.
āDirector of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, whoās fantastic, heās on a job, we have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks. Right, Russ?ā Trump said. āHeās gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. Heās got some great things happening.ā
Trump did not expand on what these so-called āsurprisesā would be.
Outside his role in the Trump administration, Vought is the primary architect of Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundationās 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.
āBetween this and his āmidterm surprise,ā the time to prepare for him to try to steal an election is now,ā Fox News host Jessica Tarlov wrote on X.
Other commenters suggested that Vought could use his official capacity to interfere with the elections.
āI know nothing about Project 2025ā
-Trump, 2024
He has all four branches of our military in his pocket. Dude. Downplaying a threat like this is dangerous. People need to be prepared.
If that were true it still wouldnāt be a civil war, it would be a military coup.
I think youāre getting trapped up in the small details, trying too hard to be right about something, and entirely missing the point. But Iāll help you with those endorphins and stand corrected.
Yes. Itās wouldnāt be a civil war.
I think you just slipped into an ad hominem attack, but at least you stand corrected.
I think you are confusing ad hominem with a simple accusation, but that you think it is, Iām going to go ahead and block you to avoid being reported for hurting feelings.
