He lost in virtually every contest despite his frenzied politicking. Trump&#8217;s focus on extraneous matters that are of interest only to him and his most MAGA-tized cult followers predictably alienated most voters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68215\" target=\"_blank\">Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Trump is now turning in desperation to efforts to rig the 2026 election by grossly gerrymandering districts in Republican states. He knows that he can&#8217;t win by campaigning on his achievements or agenda. So he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/33877\" target=\"_blank\">posted the following threat<\/a><\/strong> aimed at his fellow Republicans on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68245\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will be strongly endorsing against any State Senator or House member from the Great State of Indiana that votes against the Republican Party, and our Nation, by not allowing for Redistricting for Congressional seats in the United States House of Representatives as every other State in our Nation is doing, Republican or Democrat. Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we\u2019re not going to let this happen! This all began with the Rigged Census. We must keep the Majority at all costs. Republicans must fight back!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, Trump&#8217;s crusade to turn red states even redder is an admission that he&#8217;s losing and has to resort to cheating. He&#8217;s too scared to let voters make their own choices for who they want to represent them. What&#8217;s more, it is wholly improper for him to inject himself into the electoral affairs of the sovereign states. But he was just getting started. His comment consists of several brazenly dishonest, and frankly demented, assertions that deserve further scrutiny. For instance, Trump says that&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Every every other State in our Nation is&#8221; redistricting.<\/strong><br \/>\nActually, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/11\/06\/nx-s1-5599558\/states-redistricting-house-2026-midterm-elections\" target=\"_blank\">it&#8217;s only 13 states<\/a>. And more Republican (8), than Democratic (5).<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nHowever, it was Trump and the GOP who started it in Texas. Democrats still prefer independently drawn districts and are only trying to level the playing field.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;This all began with the Rigged Census.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe last census was conducted in 2020, when Trump was occupying the White House. So is he confessing that he rigged it, but just did it badly?<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;We must keep the Majority at all costs.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a frightening position that reeks of totalitarianism and suggests that it includes breaking the law and engaging in violence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Republicans must fight back!&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nAs noted above, Republicans were the initiators. It is Democrats who must fight back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite his determination to undermine democracy, Trump and his Republican confederates may be surprised by the election results next November. Many of the districts that they rejiggered to favor themselves weakened their advantage in adjacent districts, while failing to sufficiently improve their position in the new districts. They could end up losing both.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, they based their redrawing of the maps on 2024 election data where many Latinos were swayed by Trump&#8217;s economic promises that he has not come close to fulfilling. Consequently, recent polling shows that Latinos are shifting back into the Democratic column, which would seriously screw up the GOP&#8217;s new maps. This was confirmed by CNN&#8217;s poll analyst, Harry Enten who reported that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Donald Trump&#8217;s net approval rating on immigration among Latinos. He is 38 points underwater. That is a 36 point shift from where we were a year ago. [&#8230;] Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office in the minds of Latinos, it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oh my goodness, Trump&#39;s net approval among Latinos is down over 30 points from the beginning of the year. <\/p>\n<p>On immigration policy, we see a similar shift away from Trump vs. last year.<\/p>\n<p>In heavily Latino areas in 2025, Dems did 20+ points better in NJ\/VA than Harris last year. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/caani5yEju\">pic.twitter.com\/caani5yEju<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForecasterEnten\/status\/1990443411762237726?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>No wonder Trump is resorting to threatening his own party members.
