CNN is now pushing the conspiracy theory, popular among leftists, that President Trump is going to cancel future elections.
For years, while Republicans were out of power, CNN and other liberal media outlets constantly accused people on the right of embracing and pushing conspiracy theories. You know, things like the Hunter Biden laptop, Biden’s mental infirmity, things like that which ultimately turned out to be true.
Now that Democrats are out of power, CNN thinks nothing of pushing untrue conspiracy theories, just because they think it could potentially harm Trump politically.
This is an actual CNN report:
Trump canceling elections? Democrats increasingly sound alarm bells.https://t.co/17MmM4npRH

From the report:
When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics.
Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.
“So you say during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump responded. “So let me just say, three and a half years from now – so you mean, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”
Laughter ensued. Trump wondered aloud what the “fake news” would do with his comment.
But increasingly, Democrats aren’t laughing.
A growing number of them are arguing Trump will do something to either try to cancel or commandeer elections to keep his hold on power.
That might seem ridiculous to some. Trump hasn’t explicitly said he plans to cancel elections, and he said last month he would “probably not” run for a third term, which the Constitution forbids anyway. But the president has certainly floated such possibilities before and done plenty of anti-democratic things.
