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
He most likely will try, but it’s Trump. His track record speaks for itself: he will fuck it up. Bigly.
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.”
I can’t endure the suspense
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.
Americans will reward you for raping kids and kill you for defending them
Here’s a quick summary of what I think he is gonna do.
- Declare a state of emergency in order to prevent the midterms.
- if step 1 doesn’t happen then he will have armed guards at as many polling stations as possible, especially in blue/poor states.
- when the republicans are hopefully defeated in the midterms he will cry foul and that the democrats cheated. Calling for another January 6th across the nation.
- regardless of the outcome Donny will then invaded Iran.
- going into the Christmas holiday or the beginning of 2027 he will try to get the Supreme Court to give him the right to run a 3rd term.
- when that doesn’t happen (fingers crossed) he will still run for a 3rd term anyway.
I genuinely don’t see him invading Iran. It’s a guaranteed belly-flop. Much more likely he continues pretending the US already won.
Good write up, but you left out the false flag terrorist attack that will allow him to declare a state of emergency.
Or, the speaker of the house appoints a different House Clerk and he/she doesn’t call the newly elected members to order due to " fraudulent elections"

hmmmmmm I wonder who they are going to frame?
Is this a south park episode
You are correct I forgot that part!
Yeah. Wouldn’t want a foot-gun.
You forgot about Elon. He was just hired back. I expect him to play a major role again.
Yes definitely, I think he will play a part in step 2.
he’s the loser nobody wanted along but he’s paying for everything so they let him come too.
Don’t underestimate the power of cholesterol.
He’s gonna live to be at least 102
- Donny dies…
The important point: Republicans aren’t leaving office regardless of what happens.
Well, not willingly perhaps.
Yes.
“Well, our Democratic governor took away our plastic grocery bags and last summer, suggested that people in big cities turn their AC down to avoid brown outs, so I’m OK with whatever Republicans can do to fix those things.” - My low information voting family.
Time to take the kid gloves off and call these idiots out. Being this stupid should have a negative effect of some kind.

That is next-level entitlement. Man…. I’m sorry.
if he does, the surprise may be on him
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.
Oh, the project 2025 he had no idea about?
The P25 that the current VP wrote the forward to when it was published as a fucking book?
The same P25 he said the only agenda he has is Project 47?
Yes, that exact one that stated they were going to hack n slash Medicare/Medicaid (which they did), install a bunch of “loyalists” (which they did), eliminate the Dept of Education (which they’ve been slowly doing), eliminate unions and worker protections (which theyve been chipping away at)…
“I don’t know what Project 2025 is.”
- Donald J. Trump
A literal coup, seizing voting machines and denying results, arresting Democratic candidates who won their elections. We’ve already established that the law and the constitution means nothing to this administration so everything is on the table.
Good thing all those second amendment fanatics are politically literate, right?

Wild that a Fox News host is talking about him stealing the election.
Not if you know who she is, she is a jewel in that shit-mire
Say more please. I was confused as well. Will she get fired?
She’s a plant to give the other three morons on that show a platform to spread propaganda.
No, if you can stomach the rest of that crew you will be very content with her actions. She is basically paid to be the “other” view point, the left. She is constantly attacked by the other 4 on that panel, Greg Gutfeld? mostly, and she attacks back. She is fun to watch but I can’t for long due to the others. Check out the show she is on, I’m sure you have seen her if the news people you watch use clips.
I wouldn’t check out the show, unless you do it in a way that doesn’t drive money into their pockets. It doesn’t really matter how good she is if she’s just a vehicle to peddle their bullshit.
I find the clips to be enough. She is on the other side to the rest, outnumbered 4:1 and still gets her points across, hopefully opening some rep voter eyes
You are clueless.
Watch Americans do nothing, if y’all do nothing when Donald’s nulifyed the election, nobody is going to respect what you say or do anymore, no matter what. You think euros are annoying now making fun of you, just wait until Donald trys nullifying states rights.
We did noting when we found out he raped children. Complacency is support.
Most of us agree with you, We’ve had protests; we just haven’t dialed it up to France.
outside of a general strike, nothing will change, no chance of that happening until he nulls the midterms, slim chance after that.
France is geographically smaller than the state of Texas.
Yeah dude at least Europe finally cut down on buying arms from the US.
How is that important for this discussion? You’re just changing the subject
You have much to learn young padawan.
Well clearly not from you, you can’t even stick to the subject.
That’s funny, the midterms are also in a few weeks. What a coincidence. I’m sure it’s nothing about that right?
Oh fuck we’re gonna lose, say some more shit. Fuck no one listened, say even more shit but say it’s a surprise now.
I like how Trump can’t help but preemptively throw his sycophants under the bus just in case things go wrong and someone has to be held accountable
Or, he will follow through on Project 2025 and nullify the election.
This is what he will try to do, but we can’t allow Schmuck & Jeffries to just accept it with stern rebuke. We have to SLAM every Representative ad Senator with intense pressure to fight back. Their phones should be ringing non-stop, their email inbox should be full, and they shouldn’t be able to go ANYWHERE without citizens demanding action.
If they still won’t defend our Democracy, if they just let MAGA walk away with it, then they become as much the enemy as MAGA. The only way they’ll act is if they are afraid of us, so we’ll need to be extremely aggressive, and it will get ugly.
Your solution to attempts to illegally coup the nation is phone calls to the side doing it to demand they support you instead?
The Constitution has been overridden by the majority party in Congress that has ABDICATED ITS POWERS and relegated them to the executive.
Stop and think about this for a second.
Trump and his coup NEED the stolen election to be legitimized by Congress, full stop, or it just doesn’t work. The failure to legitimize is what stopped J6.
Addressing the minority Congressional leaders as well as doing all the other things we are already doing is exactly what needs to happen.
At no point did Barney say that was the only thing, everywhere and ever, that any concerned American should ever think about doing.
You brought that.
For myself, I have nothing but contempt for those who clearly have no idea how much all the individual efforts of all sizes by so many Americans to push back has slowed Trump’s roll.
But you’d never concede that. You’re here to shit on anyone who suggests anything other than a magical solution, as though the actual Americans among us have not heard this a billion times through the firehose of propaganda that has been aimed directly at us since 2015.
If you had any interest at all in preventing a coup, you’d have written a dramatically different comment. But us actual living Americans who genuinely want this fascism to stop have many things we can each do to put pressure against EVERY PART of this oncoming coup – including the legislators who will be required to legitimize the outcome should all other efforts fail.
Your solution to attempts to illegally coup the nation is phone calls to the side doing it to demand they support you instead?
And your solution is to be a part of the problem, quietly undermining anyone who suggests anything useful and helpful even as you display your own ignorance of how an American coup MUST work to be successful in the end.
For the rest of us, ABSOLUTELY add contacting your federal representatives to your list of to-do items before the midterms, and make sure you are still registered to vote by contacting your local elections office directly, and beware of fake sites that are data hoovers.
Barney’s right. They need to hear us. And they don’t . . . yet.
Everyone knows that if your bpd violent ex is in the middle of setting your car and house on fire you resolve it by waiting patiently for cuffing season to begin again and then text them cordially to ask them to work with you so this behavior can cease and turn into something more productive.
This is the inherit problem with democracy, or at least the American implementation of it.
If the government “goes rogue” and starts ignoring the pleas and will of the people, it can no longer be fixed within the system itself.
If the only solution is to work outside the system, then what is the point of democracy in the first place?
well… talk is cheap but no one has been SLAMMING Trump since he took office.
They are criminals who verifiably attempted to steal every election Trumps been involved with. There’s a reasonable chance they succeeded, and wouldn’t have won any without the various direct and indirect election fraud tactics (that go by other terms but are just as criminal; some are “legal” e.g. gerrymandering).
There is literally zero chance they don’t attempt to steal all future elections. That’s what psychopathic criminals do.
I hope the Democrats find some time to get Vought at a hearing to ask some very pointed questions about his little document there.
