Trump floats canceling election, dismisses it to avoid 'dictator' label
President Donald Trump spoke to House Republicans as the party braces for impact in the 2026 midterms. He teased he can't cancel the election.

“… Riffing on
tariffs during his speech, he said, "if you have the wrong president, nothing's good."
"We found that out for four years... They had the worst policy and we have to even run against these people,"
he said.
"I won't say 'cancel the election, they should cancel the election,' because the fake news will say 'he wants the elections canceled, he's a
dictator.' They always call me a dictator."
… "You’ve got to win the midterms,” Trump said. “If we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be – they’ll find a reason to impeach me.”…”

I think impeachment is an attempt to get out the vote in the midterm, but best case, in January 2026, we have multiple instances of Trump publicly fantasizing about cancelling the midterms … who knows what he is saying in private.
