The article you’ve provided clearly says Trumps dialogue is not to be taken literally. ( It does say there are other ways the election might be tinkered with, but these are for another discussion. ) I don’t find that article to be particularly worrying. | ||

> I don’t find that article to be particularly worrying. The issue is not the article, but the president's own words. Do you find it concerning that the president has expressed a desire to cancel elections? Or do you think he was joking? Follow-up question: was/is he joking about building the wall, mass deportations, eliminating birthright citizenship, or running for a third term? | ||

That's not what the article says. It says Trump needs the appearance of winning elections, so cancelling is an empty threat. Manufacturing the appearance of winning is the not-empty threat, rather is what TFA is chronicling. | ||
