Democrats may want hold off on drinking too much champagne after last night’s results in the Commonwealth of Virginia because President Trump may have something up his sleeve to turn their cheers into tears.

As The Gateway Punditreported, Virginia voters last night narrowly passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.

The map goes from a perfectly fair 6-5 Dem-GOP split to a whopping 10-1 advantage for Team Blue. Far-left NOVA will also essentially run the state, having 6 of the 11 representatives.

Governor Abigail Spanberger lied to the people of Virginia on the campaign trail, saying that she would not back this and it was almost the first thing she did once in office.

The gerrymander has massive potential to backfire on Democrats, much like the passage of Obamacare. And according to one of President Trump’s former staffers, there is a way for Trump to make the Democrats pay with the mere stroke of a pen.

Chad Mizelle, whoserveda former chief of staff to the Attorney General of the United States and the Department of Homeland Security, published an op-ed on Fox News’swebsiteon Tuesday with a highly explosive idea the President can use to destroy this new gerrymander.

Mizellenotedthat back in the earliest days of the Republic, that Virginia and Maryland gave a certain amount of land to the U>S government to create the District of Columbia. The Virginia part of the land, which included Arlington County and the city of Alexandria, remained part of D.C. until 1847 when it was returned to Old Dominion via retrocession.

The reason for the retrocession was to protect slavery in Virginia. Past presidents have considered this retrocession unconstitutional.

Now, Mizelle proposes that Trump issue an executive order proclaiming slavery-motivated retrocession unconstitutional and return Arlington and Alexandria back to the nation’s capital.

So, what can the president and his allies do? Aside from motivating Virginia residents to oppose this power grab, Trump has another tool he can use to “fight back,” to borrow the supporters’ phrase. He could fight fire with fire and choose another type of re-Districting.
