Acting on convicted felon President Trump’s batshit stupid Truth Social post from earlier this month where he claimed “There will be Voter ID for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!” and that he’s “searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future,” his most “Stop the Steal”-pilled allies claim to the Washington Post to have presented him with a 17 page draft executive order declaring a national emergency predicated on China having stolen the 2020 election from him.

“Under the Constitution, it’s the legislatures and states that really control how a state conducts its elections, and the president doesn’t have any power to do that,” said Trump’s former military school roommate Peter Ticktin, one of the drafters of the order, adding “But here we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes.”

“That causes a national emergency where the president has to be able to deal with it,” Ticktin, who along with Alina Habba in 2022 was hit with nearly $1 million in court sanctions over a failed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and like 30 other defendants over the 2016 election and the Russia investigation, continued. Other longtime MAGA conspiracy twat Jerome Corsi, who looked like he was about to die of a heart attack in 2017, is still alive and involved with the effort.

The Post then writes that if the SAVE Act fails then he will try to move forward unilaterally with his deranged plan. John Thune on Wednesday told reporters that the SAVE Act will fail in the Senate.
