Trump’s 2026 Midterm Plan: Rigged Maps, Fake Power Grabs, and Comedy Gold

Introduction: When Democracy Won’t Cooperate, Cheat Harder

Donald Trump has a bold new midterm strategy for 2026: don’t bother with voters, just grab the crayons and redraw America until it looks like a Rorschach test that says “MAGA forever.”

According to the AP, Trump is moving to use the levers of presidential power to tilt the 2026 elections in his favor. Translation? He’s tired of pretending he lost in 2020 and even more tired of trying to win fair in 2024. So for 2026, he’s cutting out the middleman—democracy itself. If Trump’s gerrymandering grab feels like another step toward authoritarian rule, that’s because it is. We’ve already tracked how Project 2025 lays out the blueprint for dismantling democracy.

Gerrymandering: Trump’s New Favorite Coloring Book

Forget rallies, forget policies, forget dignity (he lost that years ago). Trump’s team is focused on gerrymandering congressional districts so aggressively that even Picasso would say, “That’s a bit much.”

Imagine your congressional map suddenly looking like spaghetti dropped on a map of Ohio. That’s not incompetence—it’s the GOP’s electoral art form. Trump’s only innovation? He wants to autograph each district with a Sharpie before the courts laugh it out of existence.

Of course, Trump’s obsession with rewriting election rules goes back to his favorite fairy tale: that he actually won in 2020. We roasted that Big Lie here.

“Executive Privilege” to Run the Midterms

Here’s the kicker: Trump actually wants to involve the presidency in running congressional elections—something the Constitution never gave him the power to do. But why let dusty old founding documents get in the way of a man who once suggested we should nuke hurricanes?

In Trump’s mind, elections are just like his businesses: run by him, rigged by him, bankrupt when he’s done.

The GOP’s Hypocrisy Olympics

Republicans used to howl about “states’ rights” whenever the federal government sneezed. But when Trump wants to federalize redistricting like it’s his personal board game? Suddenly they’re all smiles, nods, and “Yes, Mr. President, would you like that map in red or blood-red?”

Democracy on the Clearance Rack

This is the ultimate Trump grift: take something priceless (democracy), slap it on a clearance rack at Mar-a-Lago, and sell it to the highest bidder. The 2026 midterms aren’t about representation anymore; they’re about whether Trump can finally get the scoreboard to stop calling him “Loser in Chief.”

Why This Matters (Even If It’s Funny)

It’s easy to laugh at Trump’s cartoonish antics—Sharpies, golf carts, and maps that look like a toddler’s art project. But behind the comedy is something darker: an attempt to normalize cheating as governance. If democracy can be rewritten with crayons, then we’re all living in Trump’s coloring book. And spoiler alert: he only uses one color.

Trump’s latest scheme is also part of a long tradition of cosplay dictatorship—remember his genius plan to deploy the National Guard against homeless Americans? Same energy, different crayons.

Call to Action (Satirical Twist)

So, buckle up for 2026: the year when congressional districts will look like hieroglyphics, “voter turnout” will mean “whoever Trump likes,” and democracy will be something you can buy in the Mar-a-Lago gift shop.

Until then, laugh, share, and remember: the only thing Trump hates more than losing is you knowing he lost.
