      *WTF*

      „President Donald Trump, who is in the midst of [pressuring senators](https://archive.fo/o/8pp4F/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/18/save-america-act-trump-voting-republicans/) to curb the use of mail-in voting, voted by mail ballot in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Florida.“

      „The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website indicates that Trump, who is registered to vote at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Palm Beach, “voted by Mail Ballot” in a special election between Democrat Emily Gregory and Republican Jon Maples for a seat in the state legislature. A spokesperson for the office confirmed to The Washington Post that the “information [on the site] is accurate.”

      „Trump endorsed Maples in the contest, something the former star basketball player at Palm Beach Atlantic University has called “surreal.”

      „Trump’s decision to vote by mail comes as he pushes the Save America Act — a sweeping bill to reform nationwide balloting, including restrictions on mail-in voting — and derides vote-by-mail at events.“

      „The president has long criticized mail-in voting, despite studies showing that about [1 in 3 Americans voted by mail in 2024](https://archive.fo/o/8pp4F/https://statesunited.org/resources/americans-vote-by-mail-2024/). Much of Trump’s antipathy for vote-by-mail stems from his 2020 loss, when he felt overly permissive election laws allowed many Americans to vote by mail without a specific reason.“

      “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating,“ Trump [said Monday](https://archive.fo/o/8pp4F/https://x.com/Acyn/status/2036125103239602334) during a law enforcement task force meeting in Memphis. “I call it mail-in cheating, and we’ve got to do something about it all.”

      „Trump did not have to vote by mail. He was in Palm Beach over the weekend, and early in-person voting was available through Sunday.“

      „Olivia Wales, a White House spokesperson, said Monday that Trump using a mail ballot in the special election was “a non-story” because it’s common knowledge that Trump votes in Florida but lives in Washington, D.C.“

      “As President Trump has said, the Save America Act has commonsense exceptions for Americans to use mail-in ballots for illness, disability, military or travel — but universal mail-in voting should not be allowed because it’s highly susceptible to fraud,” Wales added.“

      „Last year, Trump [wrote on social media](https://archive.fo/o/8pp4F/https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115049485680941254) that he was “going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS,” and falsely claimed that the United States was the only country that uses the practice.

      “ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING,” he wrote.“

      „This is not the first time Trump has voted by mail while deriding the practice. “I can vote by mail,“ he told reporters in 2020 when pushed on how he reconciles his use of a practice he criticizes. „I’m allowed to.”

      „Asked about Trump voting by mail, Gregory (the democratic candidate) noted the ongoing “affordability crisis” and said, “Voting by mail is safe, secure, and a great way to exercise this important right without disrupting their ability to put food on the table and provide for their families.“

      Figures. With Trump it’s always „Rules for thee but not me“

      Once again we see how far gone his mind is because he doesn’t even try to hide his blatant hypocrisy or criminal activities anymore.

      Tump is guaranteeing he’s going to prison and most Americans will be glad to see him locked up where he belongs.

      I expect Congress will do something about the state the country is in tomorrow.

      This moron needs to crawl away to a shady glen like an old dog and lay down for a long nap.

      I dont think its surprising that Trump would use mail-in voting when he feels its in his favor. The thing that gets me is that he has to be so blatant about it, like he knows hes not fooling anyone. I mean, has he ever been known to do anything with even a shred of subtlety? Still, I guess its just another example of his „rules for thee but not me“ mentality, which is getting old.

      But we allow him to throw a tantrum about this and shut down the government because he has to have his way. When do the adults return to the gd government?

      This guy is literally the worst human on Earth. Republicans love him.

    15. yorapissa on

      Well ya, of course! You’re speaking about a grifter. Anything he wants you to do is going to be to his advantage.

    17. jimbarino on

      Oh my! You’ve certainly caught Trump out in an embarrassing bit of hypocrisy. I’m sure the Republican voters will get right on rethinking their vote.

      This is a guy who once told people to vote twice to test the system so he’ll probably vote twice as well

      The man is such a hypocrite he can’t possibly understand the true meaning of the word because, to him, it’s just normal.
