The Left and their media allies are once again in full meltdown mode, this time over President Donald Trump doing something completely legal, completely logical, and fully consistent with the very election safeguards he’s been fighting to implement.

President Trump calmly dismantled the latest fake narrative during a roundtable discussion, where reporters attempted to manufacture outrage over his use of a mail-in ballot in Florida’s recent special election.

During Thursday’s roundtable, the President didn’t hold back when Jim Acosta’s girlfriend, Liz Landers of PBS, tried to grill him on his decision to vote by mail.

Trump dismantled the narrative that there is any comparison between a President using a legal, requested absentee ballot and the Democrats’ push for mass, unverified mail-in chaos.

Trump laid it out crystal clear for anyone with a functioning brain:

“Tell me about mail-in ballots, go ahead. You mean I used a mail-in ballot? You probably said yeah, I did. You know why? Because I’m President of the United States. And because of the fact that I’m President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking— But you were in Palm Beach, sir, the last few weekends. That’s right.

And I, yeah, and I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn’t be there. Because I had a lot of different things. But, you know, we have exceptions for mail-in ballots. You do know that, right?

So if you’re away, we have an exception. If you’re in the military, we have an exception. If you’re on a business trip, we have an exception. If you’re disabled, we have an exception. And if you’re ill, if you’re not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington, D.C., so I used a mail-in ballot. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know it was so well-meaning.”

Truth bomb dropped. The President of the United States has national security duties, White House obligations, and a country to run. He wasn’t lounging on the beach — he was working for YOU, the American people.

And the rapid response team nailed it perfectly:

“Is Jim @Acosta’s girlfriend @ElizLanders unable to read? If she had basic comprehension skills, she’d know the SAVE America Act has commonsense exceptions for military service, illness, disability, and travel. And he’s the President of the United States.”

WATCH:

Corporate media outlets and Democrat politicians rushed to label Trump a “hypocrite,” pushing the same tired talking point that he opposes mail-in voting while using it himself.

But here’s what they conveniently ignore: Trump has NEVER opposed legal, limited, and controlled absentee voting, according to a spokesperson who told ABC News.

He has consistently drawn a clear distinction between:

  • Targeted absentee/mail-in ballots (with safeguards)
  • Mass, universal mail-in voting (with no accountability)

Even the White House reiterated that Trump supports “commonsense exceptions” for mail-in ballots—specifically for:

  • Military personnel
  • Illness or disability
  • Travel or work obligations

Trump, who spends most of his time in Washington, D.C. fulfilling presidential duties, used that exact legal framework.

That’s not hypocrisy. That’s following the law as written.

Absentee ballots for the military in the United States go back much further than most people realize.

The first official, legalized absentee voting for military members began in 1813, when Pennsylvania allowed soldiers in the War of 1812 to vote while away.

The system expanded dramatically during the Civil War (1861–1865):

  • Many states passed laws so Union soldiers could vote from the battlefield.
  • By the 1864 presidential election, most Union states allowed absentee voting for troops.

So here’s the obvious question: If soldiers risking their lives overseas have long been allowed to vote absentee… why wouldn’t the Commander-in-Chief, responsible for leading them, be afforded the same right?

The answer is simple: he is. And he used it legally.

Let’s be honest about what’s really driving this outrage.

Trump’s push for election integrity, particularly the SAVE America Act, has Democrats panicking.

The legislation:

  • Requires proof of citizenship to vote
  • Requires voter ID
  • Limits mass mail-in ballots
  • Preserves absentee voting for legitimate cases

In other words, it restores confidence in elections while protecting access for those who truly need it.

And that’s exactly why the Left is losing it.

President Joe Biden discusses reflections on America’s 250th anniversary during an exclusive interview, with an American flag in the background.

Former First Daughter Jenna Bush Hager interviewed four former US Presidents as the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary.

Jenna Bush Hager interviewed Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and her father, George W. Bush.

The TODAY Show only showed short, edited clips of Joe Biden.

Per the TODAY Show:

Former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are sharing a message of optimism with Americans as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.

The four presidents each spoke individually with Jenna Bush Hager in a TODAY exclusive on April 21 in which they expressed their hope for the future and affirmed the principles they believe are a bedrock of American government and civic life.

Jenna spoke with Biden, 83; Obama, 64; Clinton, 79; and her father, 79, at a private event in Philadelphia over the weekend called “History Talks,” which was hosted by The History Channel.

The event traditionally features former presidents and was done in partnership with Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal. President Donald Trump is also working with The History Channel on an America 250 project that they plan to announce later this spring.

Joe Biden, 83, regurgitated old talking points.

“We’re the most unique country in the world,” Biden said.

“Most unique country in the world in the sense that we really do think democracy is dictated by the rule of the Constitution. And we do believe and we act, we do well, that all men are created equal,” Biden added before they cut his clip.

“I’m not sure we’re as divided as we portray,” Biden said.

“I’m sure there’s anywhere from 15% to 30% of the people who are on the one end here. But I think the vast majority of people are coming around to conclude that those things that they don’t even think about it directly, but are the safeguards in the Constitution,” Biden said.

Speculation Sold As American Weakness… Fox News Pushes Propaganda! (Video)

Speculation… blasted to the world as if it’s fact.

And it’s telling America’s enemies we’re running low on weapons.

A new “report” from the Center for Strategic and International Studies claims the U.S. burned through critical missile stockpiles in a war with Iran, hundreds of Tomahawks, over a thousand JASSMs. It claims it will take years to rebuild. Fox News jumps at the chance to push this propaganda based off a total guess by its authors.

Ask yourself, who benefits from putting that message out?

China hears it.
Russia hears it.
Iran hears it.

This isn’t analysis. It’s a narrative of weakness, built on hypotheticals and speculation pushed by Fox and others as reality.

Even their own report admits America can still fight. But that part gets buried, because weakness is the story. The goal isn’t to inform, it’s to discredit the Trump administration and embolden our enemies.

Today, I expose how the so-called “bipartisan” CSIS isn’t bipartisan at all.

It’s a DC think tank loaded with Trump-hating Washington elites. Yet it’s shaping a dangerous global perception that falsely questions American strength…

While it invites our enemies to test it.

President Trump GOES OFF on “Rigged” Virginia Election

Published

President Trump on Wednesday called out the rigged Virginia election.

On Tuesday evening, Virginia voters passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.

“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox New reported.

Virginia’s radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger lied on the campaign trail and said that she would not support gerrymandering and the congressional redistricting referendum.

Trump said Tuesday night’s Virginia election was rigged.

The President also said the language on he referendum was “purposely unintelligible and deceptive.”

President Trump’s full statement:

A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!

All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!”

Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split.

In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.

As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!

Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of “Justice.” President DONALD J. TRUMP
