The claim that Donald Trump intends to interfere in the upcoming elections, with his recent actions being labeled as the “opening shot” in this endeavor, raises significant concerns about the integrity of democratic processes. This perspective suggests that the underlying motivation for such actions stems from an expectation of electoral defeat if the election remains fair and unbiased.

Further complicating this picture is the recollection of intelligence briefings provided during Trump’s presidency regarding potential foreign interference in elections.… Continue reading
