President declares China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and non-state troublemakers are interfering in elections.

President Trump went on primetime television and told the nation that China finagled the 2020 election. According to the president, the White House reviewed documents allegedly showing that “starting in the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history.”

As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote, in mid-2018, the Chinese Communist Party’s policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the US president in an effort to reduce the US president’s votes and make him resign or prevent his reelection.

Trump said members of the “fake news” corporate media were paid by the communists to write negative reports on him. “The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on the U.S. president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him,” he continued, referring to himself in the third person.

The president accused Barack Obama of sabotaging the election in favor of his vice president, Joe Biden. “Recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags of information, and this is a group of bags that were used to destroy information, given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned; it was supposed to be burned.”

In 2025, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard claimed she uncovered a number of “burn bags” that supposedly contained intelligence on election interference. “We are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes in random offices in these bags and in other areas, which again speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people,” Gabbard said during a Trump cabinet meeting.

Trump said China, Russia, Iran, and “non-state groups” have the ability to hack US elections. “As one assessment states, we judge that the United States’ adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure.”

The president said the cited intelligence “underscores why we must take urgent action to ensure that our own system can never, ever be hacked or compromised like it was in the past,” and he directed “the FBI director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes.”

As noted in a previous post here, Trump’s State Department is focused on radical left-wing “political terrorism.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio and “other U.S. officials painted a dark image of the future if the ‘communists and Marxists’ perpetrating these supposed acts are not defeated,” the Associated Press reported.

Rubio “grouped communists, anarchists, Marxists and anti-capitalists into what he described as a movement driven by hostility toward Western civilization, calling its members ‘enemies of civilization,’” while White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller promised Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” will lead to the debanking, defunding, and disruption of left-wing “political terrorists that are operating in our country.” Miller demanded, “Every facet of Republican Party politics and power has to be used right now to go toe-to-toe with Marxism and beat these Communists.”

In October 2024, the Department of Homeland Security warned that “domestic violent extremists” pose “the most significant physical threat to government officials, voters, and elections-related personnel and infrastructure, including polling places, ballot drop box locations, voter registration sites, campaign events, political party offices, and vote counting sites.” The DHS included “adversarial nation-states” in the mix.

The DHS was reportedly concerned about the involvement of Iran. They said US officials, including former President Trump, were threatened by Iran. More recently, Israel (known for deception) shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a plan to assassinate Trump. “They want to take out the US leader—me,” Trump said. “These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.”

The cancer, Rubio argued, emanates from left-wing groups working with foreign states. The Secretary of State said Iranian proxy networks are “increasingly intimately tied to leftist militant groups around the world,” although he did not mention names. Rubio accused Cuba’s Communist leaders of having “helped build the far left” in the United States, once again without offering evidence to support the claim.

Democrat lawmakers wrote to Rubio on July 15 and voiced concerns that the administration is attempting to designate legitimate left-wing political groups as domestic terrorists. “We strongly urge the Department to return its focus to a serious mission set that is definitionally apolitical, data-driven, and rooted in reality, instead of rubberstamping the political priorities of extremists ​within the Administration whose views and policies put ​U.S. national security—and the American people—at risk,” wrote the lawmakers.

Establishment Democrats, however, are not the target of the Trump administration’s efforts to sway the midterm elections and maintain control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Instead, Trump is targeting democratic socialist candidates, labeling them as “communists” and framing their rise as a significant threat to the country, particularly following a series of left-wing primary victories in New York and other states.

Trump, never a stranger to hyperbole, said social democrats are more dangerous to America than WWI, WW2, Pearl Harbor, and the attacks of September 11, 2001. “I think it’s the biggest threat to our nation there is, maybe since our founding,” he said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently warned “the barbarians are inside the gate” and the midterm election “is for all the marbles.” He said “that same extreme Marxist ideology is being championed in our own backyard by the Democratic Party. We refuse to let mini-communist Mamdani take over the greatest nation in the history of the world,” and added that the Pentagon is requesting an additional $350,000,000,000 to fight “communism on our own shores.”

President Trump’s artificial Red Scare will be used to target liberal and democrat socialist Democrats ahead of the election in the hope that this will sway the election and allow MAGA to continue its control of Congress. Short of that, the Trump administration has considered declaring a state of emergency to close down the midterms.

In March, the Trump administration contemplated a plan for the president to issue an executive order (EO) declaring a national emergency due to alleged election interference from a foreign government. This move aimed to grant sweeping control over the 2026 midterm elections. Since the start of President Trump’s second term, the administration has been pursuing a multifaceted strategy to nationalize elections, despite lacking the authority to do so.

In fact, President Trump has openly expressed his desire to “take over” elections in several states. The president lacks the authority under the Elections Clause of Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution to cancel or postpone a federal election. Furthermore, federal law restricts military or armed federal involvement at polling places.

In Bush v. Gore, the Court asserted that the authority to establish election rules lies with the legislature, not courts improvising a new scheme post-factum. This case is frequently cited to underscore the broader principle that election authority is structurally constrained and cannot be freely reallocated by executive action. Reynolds v. Sims further reinforces this notion by emphasizing that voting rights and election rules are governed by constitutional equality principles, thereby limiting attempts by government actors to manipulate elections.

Despite the claim that Trump has documentary evidence of election interference by China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and non-state actors, he lacks the authority to cancel or postpone an election. Regardless, Trump may attempt to declare a national emergency after a terrorist attack, or fear of one, be it real, or more likely a false flag event.

Trump will continue along rhetorical lines, claiming Democrats are communists, and he will attempt to discredit and obstruct the campaigns of social democrats and other liberal candidates. However, considering a majority of younger voters have indicated they are socialist, any attempt by Trump to derail the momentum of liberal and left-wing politicians by calling them communists will fall largely on deaf ears.
