Trump astounds with 'derranged' midterms admission: 'Can't let them get away with it'

President Donald Trump may have just said the quiet part out loud about his plans to rig the 2026 midterm elections, according to one analyst.

David Pakman, host of the liberal "David Pakman Show" on YouTube, argued in a new reaction video on Monday that Trump recently admitted in a "completely derranged" Truth Social post that he plans on militarizing polling places during the November election.

"During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote," Trump wrote in the Truth Social post that Pakman referenced. "We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger. All Americans should have their voices be heard by casting a vote. Be assured this Election will be fair!"

Pakman noted that the post seemed to suggest that Trump is planning on deploying another "election integrity army" ahead of the upcoming elections.

"The point of this is just to intimidate people," Pakman said. "It's to scare people, people who show up and they plan to vote, and then all of a sudden they're going to see this election integrity army, as Donald Trump is calling it. And Trump is hoping that this will, I guess, scare some people so that they won't vote."

Pakman pointed out that Trump and his Republican colleagues are underwater on several key issues as the election approaches, such as immigration and Trump's handling of the economy. That could help explain why the Republicans are not pushing back against Trump's plans, he added.

"They realize, as a result, they have to run a different election, and that is exactly what they're doing," Pakman said. "They are just going to run on, 'We're going to intimidate at the polling places.' No more talk about improving your lives, more talk about controlling the election. We can't let them get away with it."
