Trump Ominously Says 'Project 2025' Author Has 'Big Surprises' In The Next Few Weeks President Donald Trump issued a foreboding proclamation during a speech in Maryland on Tuesday, just hours after he predicted a “Midterm Surprise!” in a Truth Social post. “Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, who’s fantastic, he’s on a job, we have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks. Right, Russ?” Trump said. “He’s gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. He’s got some great things happening.” Trump did not expand on what these so-called “surprises” would be. Outside his role in the Trump administration, Vought is the primary architect of Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump term. While not mentioned specifically by Trump, many critics online speculated that Trump was referring to some sort of plan to interfere in the midterm elections. “Between this and his ‘midterm surprise,’ the time to prepare for him to try to steal an election is now,” Fox News host Jessica Tarlov wrote on X. Other commenters suggested that Vought could use his official capacity to interfere with the elections. “I know nothing about Project 2025” -Trump, 2024

Wild that a Fox News host is talking about him stealing the election.

A literal coup, seizing voting machines and denying results, arresting Democratic candidates who won their elections. We’ve already established that the law and the constitution means nothing to this administration so everything is on the table.

Here’s a quick summary of what I think he is gonna do. Declare a state of emergency in order to prevent the midterms. if step 1 doesn’t happen then he will have armed guards at as many polling stations as possible, especially in blue/poor states. when the republicans are hopefully defeated in the midterms he will cry foul and that the democrats cheated. Calling for another January 6th across the nation. regardless of the outcome Donny will then invaded Iran. going into the Christmas holiday or the beginning of 2027 he will try to get the Supreme Court to give him the right to run a 3rd term. when that doesn’t happen (fingers crossed) he will still run for a 3rd term anyway.
