Trump will claim that there can't be elections while the US is at war.

It's never happened. Everyone is saying so. Very biggly.

Except it absolutely has happened...

Not only that, tRump critized Zeleneskyy for not holding elections precisely because the Ukranian constitution (or equivalent) does suspend elections...

this is the only comment in this thread to get more than one downvote and i think it's indicative of how likely it is to happen here since they don't like this message so much that they felt the need to take action to suppress it.

Yes? That's exactly what I meant.

The USA constitution does not have such a escape valve to hold elections when in war... other countries may (and tRump, idiotic as he is, complained about Zeleneskyy regarding this specifically)
