So he obviously cheated?

i bet that trump frames articles like these and hangs them up that florida place

i bet it is proof to him that he deserves it; and he likes the proof that he gets to do stuff no one else can do

I wonder who trump voted for?

I don't think anyone is seriously opposed to absentee voting when the person doesn't have a practical way to vote at the polls, due to being away from their district on election day, being medically unable to leave their home, or that sort of thing. They just want to curtail it to such necessary cases. Trump presumably voted from Washington DC for Florida election and that would qualify.

Are you for real?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I can't fathom any reasonable person giving Trump the benefit of the doubt about anything election related in 2026.

I'd say "think harder" but uh, you can actually think LESS when the answer to why he wants to stop mail-in voting is this obvious.

Not giving Trump any benefit it's about someone (even a bad person) using the options they have available. People here love saying gotcha but in this instance it's illogical.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He has no medical issues preventing him from voting and the president of the United States makes their own schedule.

He's voting by mail because it's more convenient.

He’s voting by mail because it’s more convenient

Yes, exactly. He wants that option banned, but for now it exists and he uses it. Do you want the option to exist for everyone else but not for him? It will be different if he gets it banned but then circumvents the ban somehow.

There's no helping you if you don't see the hypocrisy in actively doing the thing you're trying to get banned.

Trump voted by mail while golfing in Florida, so no childfucker is just a hypocrite.
