alt Hacker NewsThe article you’ve provided clearly says Trumps dialogue is not to be taken literally. ( It does say there are other ways the election might be tinkered with, but these are for another discussion. )
I don’t find that article to be particularly worrying.

That's not what the article says. It says Trump needs the appearance of winning elections, so cancelling is an empty threat.
Manufacturing the appearance of winning is the not-empty threat, rather is what TFA is chronicling.

The issue is not the article, but the president's own words. Do you find it concerning that the president has expressed a desire to cancel elections? Or do you think he was joking?
Follow-up question: was/is he joking about building the wall, mass deportations, eliminating birthright citizenship, or running for a third term?
