Democrats have not given up on their dream of throwing Donald Trump in prison:
Trump says voter fraud should land people in prison.
Agreed. And let's start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots.
In California, I just signed a law making that punishable with up to 3 years behind bars.…
— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 9, 2026
By “politicians spreading election lies,” he means Trump.
The context is the farce unfolding in California, where Spencer Pratt is getting knocked off the ballot by a dubious avalanche of mail-in votes for the absurd Nithya Ramen, and votes for Governor are nowhere near counted more than a week after the election.
Via Western Journal:
This banana republic-like method of conducting an election has raised suspicions, notably from Trump. The president, of course, has always maintained that Democrats used mail-in ballots to cheat him out of the 2020 election.
“FAFO, Donald,” snarls Newsom to underscore his threat. That’s how he talks to the President of the United States.
In a May 27 news release, Newsom’s office announced that the governor had signed Senate Bill 73.
As the release makes clear, the bill is aimed at “growing threats of election interference and intimidation, including efforts by allies of President Donald Trump to undermine confidence in elections and disrupt lawful election administration.”
That is, California is attempting to criminalize objections to election fraud by Democrats. This calls to mind the Stop Nick Shirley Act, intended to shut down independent investigative journalists who dig where Democrats don’t want them to.
If California were its own country, it would be Venezuela. This will go for the USA as a whole if Democrats like Newsom take power at the national level. As his threat reminds us,
The anti-Trump lawfare of the Biden years is on the agenda if he gets into the White House.
Democrats probably really will throw Trump in prison on one trumped-up charge or another the moment they are able. That’s what happens to opponents in banana republics.
