PNN – The Japan Times newspaper, referring to US President Donald Trump’s moves to centralize power in the White House, wrote that he may use the war with Iran and the escalation of crises to cancel or invalidate the elections.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; The Japanese publication said in a note on Tuesday: The US president may try to use the war with Iran and the escalation of crises as an excuse to cancel or invalidate the election, by invoking emergency powers or even carrying out false flag operations to stay in power.
The United States is six months away from the most important midterm elections in its history, and we are at a time when Donald Trump, along with Israel, is in direct conflict with Iran. This is the ideal situation for a head of state to seize power in a coup.
Snyder believes that Trump’s main concern is to maintain his comfort and power, and much of that will be lost if Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives. According to the report, it is clear that Trump has no qualms about interfering in elections, just as he tried to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Most recently, he has tried to pass legislation that would severely restrict voting and turn it into a privilege.
The author pointed out that Trump’s associates are taking advantage of the market situation due to the war with Iran, adding that the longer this situation lasts, the greater the possibility of it being exploited to attempt a coup.
The report goes on to suggest that Trump is exploiting the claim that Iran poses a threat to U.S. national security to try to delay the election. Snyder wrote that this situation would give an ambitious dictator an excuse to declare a state of emergency and delay the election. “Nothing quite like this has ever happened in the United States, and it may never happen, for precisely the reason that Trump’s best hope is: Iranian leaders must be aware that Trump is seeking to exploit an attack,” he added.
In the end, the author advises Americans to be vigilant and decisive in this regard so that such scenarios do not work. Snyder also wrote: Awareness of history can change the future. The biggest obstacle to Trump’s coup is not his weakness, but the people’s refusal to obey.
