Wayne Root Urges Trump to Declare National Security Emergency Ahead of Midterms

Conservative commentator and former Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root is sounding the alarm over the upcoming midterm elections, urging President Donald Trump to take extraordinary measures to prevent what he claims could be a stolen election. In his latest “America’s Top Ten Countdown” segment, Root recommends that Trump declare a National Security Emergency, order high-profile arrests of top Democrats, and frame the election as a battle between Islam/Sharia law and America.

Root, who hosts the weekly “America’s Top Ten Countdown” on Real America’s Voice TV Network, posed the question directly: “Will President Trump allow midterms to be stolen?” His answer, laid out in a series of recommendations, reflects growing concern among some conservative figures about election integrity and the administration’s willingness to act.

National Security Emergency and High-Profile Arrests

Root’s top recommendation is for Trump to declare a National Security Emergency, a move that would grant the administration broad powers to address perceived threats to the electoral process. He argues that without such a declaration, the midterms could be vulnerable to widespread fraud and manipulation.

In addition to the emergency declaration, Root suggests that the administration should make high-profile arrests of key Democratic figures, specifically naming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Root did not specify what charges he believes should be brought against them, but his call for arrests underscores the intensity of his rhetoric and the stakes he believes are in play.

Root’s framing of the election as a clash between “Islam/Sharia Law vs. America” adds a provocative dimension to his message, suggesting that the midterms are not merely a political contest but a fundamental struggle over the nation’s identity and values. This framing is likely to resonate with his audience but may also draw criticism from those who view it as inflammatory or divisive.

A Call to Action for the President

Root’s commentary comes at a time when many conservatives are questioning the integrity of U.S. elections, a theme that has been amplified since the 2020 presidential election. While Root’s specific recommendations are extreme, they reflect a broader sentiment among some Trump supporters who believe that decisive action is needed to secure the electoral process.

The “America’s Top Ten Countdown” segment, which airs every Saturday at noon ET on Real America’s Voice, is known for its bold and often controversial takes. Root also hosts a nightly show, “America Speaks,” and a daily podcast, “WAR ZONE LIVE,” presented by The Gateway Pundit, where he continues to push his message to a wide audience.

Root’s recommendations are sure to spark debate, both among those who share his concerns about election security and those who see his proposals as an overreach. As the midterms approach, the question of how far the administration will go to ensure a fair election remains a central and contentious issue.
