TRUMP PLEDGES UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDER
TO LIMIT MAIL-IN VOTING AFTER PUTIN
CHAT
Aug 18

President Donald Trump pledged
Monday that he will try to eliminate
mail-in voting, after telling Fox
News that authoritarian Russian
President Vladimir Putin agreed with
him on the subject during their
meeting last week.

Despite lacking any sort of
constitutional power on the matter,
Trump declared in a Truth Social
post that he would sign an executive
order to ohelp bring HONESTY to the
2026 Midterm Elections,o and attempt
to strip states of their independent
authority to oversee elections, and
is demanding they just do what he
tells them to.

oI am going to lead a movement to
get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also,
while weAre at it, Highly aInaccurate,A
Very Expensive, and Seriously
Controversial VOTING MACHINES,o the
president wrote, referencing
conservativesA disproven claims and
conspiracies regarding voter fraud
in the 2020 election, which he lost.

oRemember, the States are merely an
aagentA for the Federal Government in
counting and tabulating the votes.
They must do what the Federal
Government, as represented by the
President of the United States, tells
them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to
do,o he added. oELECTIONS CAN NEVER
BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTINGa
THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING
MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL
DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!o

Of course, the president does not
have the power to unilaterally strip
states of their constitutionally
guaranteed right to conduct and
oversee elections, and any executive
order purporting to do so will likely
face immediate court challenges.

The post came days after Trump told F
ox NewsA Sean Hannity that Putin u who
hasnAt participated in a free and fair
election in decades u agreed with him
on the need to eliminate mail-in
voting during their meeting last week.

oVladimir Putin said something u one
of the most interesting things u he
said, ayour election was rigged
because you have mail-in voting,Ao
Trump recounted. oHe said a aitAs
impossible to have mail-in voting and
have honest elections.o

oWe talked about 2020,o Trump continued.
oHe said aYou won that election by so
much,A a and he said and aif you would
have won, we wouldnAt have had a war,
youAd have all these millions of people
alive now instead of dead,A and he said
ayou lost it because of mail-in voting,
it was a rigged election.Ao

There is no evidence that the use of
mail-in ballots or digital voting
machines is conducive to widespread
electoral fraud. Though mail-in
voting has historically skewed
Democratic, Republicans rely on it
as well, including in states like
Florida, where Trump voted early
last year. Nevertheless, eliminating
mail-in voting has been a goal of
the presidentAs for some time now. >https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-pledges-limit-ma >il-in-voting-putin-1235410408/

When will the rest of the USA joing the MAGA Republican movement and just accept that Trump is our dictator now and nobody challenges him?
