As the New Year dawned, former President Donald Trump issued a provocative message, baselessly insinuating that the Biden administration is permitting immigrants to enter the United States with the ulterior motive of influencing the 2024 Presidential election.
In his message, Trump expressed a premature New Year's greeting to President Joe Biden and his administration, accusing them of a relentless endeavor to "DESTROY OUR NATION through Lawfare, Invasion, and Rigging Elections." He further alleged that the administration is hurriedly registering the immigrants they are "illegally allowing into [our] Country" to ensure their readiness to vote in the upcoming Presidential election.
This inflammatory New Year's message from Trump followed a previous post, where he claimed that the Democrats are permitting a massive influx of "totally unvetted migrants" into the country. He suggested that the motive behind this is to secure more votes for the Democratic party. He urged the Republicans, specifically Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, to take action before it's too late.
NBC legal analyst Joyce Alene responded to Trump's allegations, stating that "Trump is preparing to claim the 2024 election was stolen from him when he loses."
Brian Klaas, a professor of Global Politics at University College London, dismissed Trump's claims as "deranged lies." He warned that these lies could be used as a pretext to seize power if Trump loses the election again. Klaas, who co-authored the book 'How to Rig an Election,' acknowledged that while US elections have flaws such as gerrymandering, voter suppression, and finance laws, voter registration and vote tabulation are robust.
Eliot Wilson, a former House of Commons clerk, criticized Trump's transparent tactics, stating that "Trump, because he's not especially sharp, can't help but act in a way that is really obvious and transparent. But the cultists don't care."
Trygve Olson, an advisor to the Lincoln Project, warned that if Trump wins the Electoral College but loses the popular vote, he could "use this to immediately implement the insurrection act and declare martial law."
