In a heated presidential campaign, Donald Trump has pledged unprecedented investigations and prosecutions against political rivals and groups he perceives as threats. The former president's divisive rhetoric revives allegations of election fraud and corruption, despite repeated disavowals by courts and his own administration.

Trump's assertions point to a broader strategy of stoking distrust in electoral processes, aiming to contest a possible electoral defeat. Labeling leftists and election workers as internal adversaries, he raises fears about potential misuse of military force, critics say.

Furthermore, Trump extends his accusations of interference to big tech, warning industry leaders like Meta's Zuckerberg and Google against biased election influence. His broadside foreshadows a campaign rooted in an adversarial stance towards both political opponents and established democratic norms.
