Talk of Canceling Elections Shows Trump Is Unfit for Office
Before Zelensky could respond, Trump added: “Oh, that’s a good thing.” Five months later, Trump mused apophatically about canceling elections out of disdain for Democrats. Just days after that, in an interview with Reuters, Trump reflected with his typical braggadocio that, given his great success as president, “we shouldn’t even have an election” this November. Nor in 1864, when he ran for a second presidential term against Union General George B.
