Election 2026 #3
Mr. Monopoly
When Donald Trump ran for President in 2024, he was probably seeking a particular card from “Chance” or “Community Chest” in the game of Monopoly. By winning the election, he got one of them.[1]
Since becoming the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump has become the masked (i.e., source of a constant stream of disinformation), gun-toting (i.e., destroying small boats at sea without presenting any evidence that they are “drug runners”, attacking Venuzula and taking their President into custody, and attacking Iran in order to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons[2]), and money-grubbing (i.e., spend enormous amounts of taxpayer money[3], providing Federal loans and special privileges to businesses in which he and his family have a financial stake, etc.) Mr. Monopoly in this article’s header image.
This is How You Do It
At a re-election rally on May 31st, Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff laid out a litany of the self-serving activities of the Grifter-in Chief and, in the process, showed other Democrats and Independents what is needed to beat their Republican opponents. Here’s an extract of the most potent part of that speech:[4]
[ 12:06 ]
In Donald Trump’s America, “the rich get richer[5] and the poor get poorer”. Is this the country you want? If you supported President Trump in 2024, is this what you voted for?
What’s a President to Do?
President Trump is afraid. He’s afraid of you and me and all the other members of We the People who are eligible to vote.
In November 2024, the voters gave the President and his party control of the Executive and Legislative branches of the Federal Government. In November 2026, his party is almost certain to loose control of the House of Representatives. There’s a good chance that they’ll lose control of the Senate as well. The Congress that has given him a “rubber stamp” on almost everything’s he’s wanted to do will have evaporated. What will he do? What will he do? He’ll do what he always does when his will is thwarted and/or he feels backed into a corner. He’s going to lie about election fraud wherever his candidate loses, cheat with the help of his co-conspiritors in some state governments, and try to steal elections when all else fails.
Lying
By now, many who voted for Donald Trump have learned that most of his promises were outright lies or understatements covering self-serving and autocratic crimes and xenophopic atrocities. The biggest lies revolve around “voter fraud” and “illegal immigration”.
Voter Fraud
President Trump and those in the Federal Government who support or, for their own selfish and anti-American reasons, echo his lies have been harpimg about massive and wide-spread voter fraud since at least 2016. They talk about “illegal immagrants” voting and “fixing” the vote through manipulating voting machines, mailing in fake ballots, drop-box stuffing, etc. Here’s the truth about voter fraud taken from statistics maintained by the right-wing think tank, The Heritage Foundation … the fine folks who brought us Project 2025.
The Heritage Foundation has collected a database of all proven instances of voter fraud from 1982 through 2025. 1.3 billion during those 43 years. (That’s rounded to the nearest tenth of a billion votes, of course.) Of those 1.3 billion votes, 1,620 were proven to be fraudulent. That’s a vanishingly small 0.000125 percent … one fraudulent vote for every 162,008 cast. Only 100 of those votes came from undocumented immigrants … 0,000008 percent or 1 out of every 13,000,000 votes.
What do the President and his thralls use as proof that voter fraud is rampant? Isn’t it obvious? He lost the 2020 Presidential election to Joe Biden. (Never mind that he beat two of the most qualified candidates to ever run for President in our country’s history.[6])

Notes

On March 30, 2023, Trump was indicted with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments made to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels as hush money to buy her silence over a sexual encounter between them. He was convicted on all counts on May 30, 2024, becoming the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony. Following a series of delays and Trump’s 2024 presidential election victory, he was sentenced to an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025. He is appealing his conviction.
The picture on the “Community Chest” card shows Mr. Monopoly escaping from potential imprisonment altogether, I think that’s the one he pulled

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), (aka, the Iran nuclear deal) was an agreement to limit the Iranian nuclear program in return for sanctions relief and other provisions. The agreement was between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, plus Germany) together with the European Union. The agreement allowed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor and inspect Iran’s nuclear facilities to ensure that they were not producing weapons-grade nuclear material.
The JCPOA worked. It effectively limited Iran’s nuclear production from the time it took effect (January 20, 2016) until shortly after the 45th President of the United States withdrew our country from the agreement in 2018. (For those who have forgotten, the 45th President of the United States was Donald J. Trump.)

Most of President Trump’s “improvement” projects were supposed to be paid for by private donors. They weren’t going to cost the taxpayers anything. After the fact, the President has asked Congress for money for “necennary additions” to the original plans (e.g., security measures for the White House Ballroom).

Don’t be fooled/startled by the bold display FULL SPEECH across the face of the video. The video above is 12 minutes and 6 seconds extracted from YouTube’s 32 minute and 11 second video. If you want to see the whole speech, here it is. Otherwise, use the “Return” link to go back and watch the extract.

On Friday, June 12, 2026, SpaceX announced its initial public offering at $135 per share. By the end of Stock Market trading, the stock jumped to $160.95. As a result, Elon Musk, the major stock holder (of course), became the world’s first trillionaire.
Even thinking about a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) makes one’s head spin. I found it a bit easier to comprehend by considering a trillion seconds.
Spend your money wisely, Elon. Even at a dollar per second, you’ve got a lot of time.

Before running for President, Hillary Clinton had been Secretary of State, a U.S. Senator, and First Lady. That’s a lot of Federal Government experience. In turn, Kamala Harris had been Vice President and a U.S. Senator. Both lost their elections to Donald Trump … in 2016 and 2024 respectively, but he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, I wonder why. Could it be that more misogynists turned out to vote in 2016 and 2020?
