During round two of meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, President Donald Trump made another dig about potentially evading his presidential term limits with “jokes” about pausing elections during wartime.
“So, let me just say, three and a half years from now… if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, that’s good.”
Trump takes interest in postponing elections with war as an excuse: “So you’re saying during the war you can’t have elections… So let me just say, 3.5 years from now… if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, that’s good” pic.twitter.com/e12t5nMZe6— FactPost (@factpostnews) August 18, 2025
On social media, users don’t feel that voters should take the “jokes” too lightly, one calling his thoughts “terrifying.” “Trump laughs about canceling elections like Zelensky — planting the seed for his power grab—first the joke, then the coup. We’ve seen this movie before,” @AnatoliUkraine said.
But he didn’t stop there. The 47th president also wants to eliminate voting machines, labeling them as inaccurate and expensive.
