In his portrayal of presidential politics, Donald Trump presents a cast of friends and foes, devoted followers attempting to assist him in winning back the White House, and nefarious players attempting to thwart that.
But Trump is the worst enemy he has.
Think about mail-in ballots. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, voters utilized them in historically high numbers, despite Trump’s deceptive claims prior to the election that the electoral process was somehow tainted.
Trump’s massive ego, which masks an unbelievably deep sense of inadequacy, prevents him from accepting the obvious: Joe Biden defeated him in the 2020 election.
That’s the reason Trump felt obliged to bring up that defeat once more on Saturday. During his Michigan campaign, Trump promised that if he won in November, mail-in voting would be abolished. A crucial swing state that Trump lost in 2020 was Michigan.
He declared, “Mail-in voting is totally corrupt.” “Remember to think about that. It must be.
Trump once favored mail-in votes, but the GOP is now advocating for more early voting.
Trump frequently makes untrue statements on mail-in ballots. But who else casts a mail-in ballot? Trump has done this at least three times since relocating to Florida from New York.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has been pushing party voters to cast mail ballots this election season for almost a year, working state by state. However, Trump was unable to resist sabotaging that effort over the weekend.
It turns out that before he was against mail ballots, Trump was, in fact, in favor of them (again).
In March of last year, Trump said at the Conservative Political Action Conference that mail-in voting is something that conservatives “have to change our thinking” on.
At that time, Trump declared, “Republicans must compete using every lawful means to win.” This entails inundating the left with early, mail-in, and election day ballots. Must complete the task.
