      Trump: I’m fucking special and better than everyone else, that’s why.

      Every other President anywhere ever has voted in person. Could it be because you’re just a low-energy sack of shit? You were already (probably) at your residence.

      Rules for thee, not for me. Meanwhile, this dude flies to Florida all the time for parties and golf. I guess we know what he values and it’s not democracy.

      He’s trying to take away mail-in voting even from MAGA and his answer for why he gets to do it and nobody else, including them, is: *because, I’m better than you*.

      This exposes the hypocrisy of Republican voter legislation. They don’t intend to follow it themselves.

      He didn’t want to be seen among the poor’s actually submitting a ballot at the ballot box. Plus there’s no golf course or hamberders at the ballot box, so there’s that.

      If it’s safe and secure enough for someone as important as the President, it is safe enough for the general public.

      Are we months away from him saying he can just pick who wins elections because it feels like we are months away from him saying that.

      Well, apparently the Republican candidate lost in the district where Moron-A-Lago is located. So maybe the local (probably right wing) election officials didn’t count his mail in ballot because it came in from out of state, delayed by Louis DeJoyless’s fucked up Postal Service.

      Sure, that’s all complete speculation. But somebody should tell Cheeto that’s the reason the Democrats won the seats in Florida, just so he can have a tantrum about it.

      didnt his MarALago Rep. just become a democrat? I guess he’s doing so much winning he forgot how.

      Keep in mind that this is far from the first time that Trump openly admits that he believes the rules should be different for him just because of who he is. He used the exact same line at a CNN town hall during the last campaign. Stephen Miller openly admits that a lot of the things they’re doing they do because they can and nobody can do anything about it.

      One of the issues with taking on the schoolyard bully is that if you try to stand up to the bully and fail, the bullying just gets worse because you’ve confirmed you can’t do anything about it. That’s where we’re at with Trump. Our society has shown that we collectively are either unable or unwilling to do anything about it, so Trump is acting accordingly.

      „Trump spent the second weekend of early voting, March 20 through March 22, at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.“

      „Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.“

    28. iamstephen1128 on

      This headline buries the hell out of the lede. He has been in Florida the last couple of weekends to golf and could have voted in person. The reporter asked him about this and of course he glossed right over it…

      This guy isn’t worth his weight in peanuts. National embarrassment.

      Per 14th amendment: „no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.“

      Thank you for confirming every citizen’s right to vote by mail

    33. lycanter on

      If they making voting by mail illegal he will still do it with the same rational. Probably send in a crayon ballot with a secret service escort.

    34. ich_bin_alkoholiker on

      “It’s not illegal when the president does it.” Sound familiar?

    35. flygirl4eva on

      I guess Melania and Baron are also president ‚cause they cast a mail ballot as well.

    36. rodimusprime119 on

      Democrats need to hammer him on this and every Republican on it with there attack. That is not a valid excuse

    37. Delybe on

      The president was never supposed to special (especially in the eyes of the law), but the first citizen.  A representation of all of America.

    38. danielrobertcampbell on

      „I couldn’t be there. I had a lot of different things…“ Funny how he always makes it down there to golf though.

    39. RobsterCrawSoup on

      Guess what? I’ve got young kids and both me and my wife work fulltime. I’m busy too, asshole.

    40. therealvladimir_0 on

      Oh I see all of us humble, nobody’s (half who elected this village idiot) are supposed to abide by one set of rules but the village idiot and his merry band of court jesters have their own rules?

    42. Remarkable-Fig206 on

      Hey check it out, everybody! He’s the only person who’s busy!

      Sure, he still has time to golf constantly and spends hours every day posting stupid ass gibberish online, but that’s beside the point.
