- 📣 Donald Trump is actively bragging on Truth Social about Republican-controlled states rigging elections through gerrymandering.
- 📣 The latest instance involves Missouri, where Governor Mike Kehoe announced a special legislative session to redraw district maps.

Missouri's Gerrymandering Session
- 🗺️ Missouri's Republican Governor Mike Kehoe is holding a special legislative session to redraw congressional maps, mirroring actions taken in Texas.
- 🗺️ Trump's post on Truth Social celebrated this move, calling it a "huge victory for our America First agenda."
Critiquing Trump's Claims
- 🤥 The speaker refutes Trump's claims of winning in a landslide and having record-high polling numbers.
- 🤥 It's argued that Trump did not win a majority of the popular vote in 2020 and is currently at his lowest popularity levels.
- 🤥 The speaker suggests Trump's assertions may stem from a desire to fabricate or from advanced dementia.
The Cyclical Nature of Elections
- 📈 The speaker emphasizes that elections operate in cycles, with a natural swing between political parties.
- 📈 Holding onto a single moment of success and expecting it to last forever is a flawed strategy, as demonstrated by past election shifts.
Gerrymandering as a Cheating Tactic
- ⚠️ Republicans are resorting to gerrymandering because they believe they cannot win elections in 2026 without rigging the game.
- ⚠️ This practice is legally challenged, and the speaker warns that it could backfire, similar to Texas's experience where redistricting created more swing districts than intended.
