Trump makes joke about not holding elections at end of his term if US is fighting in a war
As Zelensky answered a question about the difficulty of holding an election during Ukraine’s war with Russia, Trump appeared to jokingly hypothesize how a similar circumstance could allow him to stay in power in the US past the expiration of his current tern.
“So let me just say three and a half years from now — so you mean, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections, oh, I wonder what the fake news would say,” Trump said.
Zelensky noted the difficulties of being able to hold elections during wartime, saying a “truce” would be needed to do so safely.
“We can do security,” Zelensky said. “We need … a truce, yes, everywhere — the battlefield, the sky and the sea, to make it possible for people to do democratic open legal elections.”
