US President Donald J. Trump delivers remarks in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, DC, USA, 01 June 2020. Trump addressed the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd in police custody. No Use UK. No Use Germany.
Donald Trump claimed on Monday that the 2020 election will be rigged using mail-in ballots. His critics were quick to mock the President for telling his own voters not to bother showing up to the polls.
The conservative Lincoln Project, which has run a series of searingly critical ads against Trump, pointed out that Trump was basically saying his supporters’ votes wouldn’t matter.
“RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!” Trump tweeted early Monday.
“4D Chess: Trump continues to persuade his base not to vote in November,” the official Lincoln Project Twitter account wrote.
The President wasn’t finished, however. He sent a second tweet attacking mail-in voting and claiming the election would be rigged against him.
“Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nations history – unless this stupidity is ended,” he wrote.
“We voted during World War One & World War Two with no problem, but now they are using Covid in order to cheat by using Mail-Ins!”
Critics were quick to point out that mail-in ballots were used during both world wars, while the Lincoln Project further mocked the President with a Jonathan Frakes video.
The President is on a crusade against mail-in ballots, despite the fact they could benefit his own party and are widely used in GOP-controlled states.
