President Trump SHUTS DOWN Media Hysteria as Democrats MELT DOWN After He LEGALLY Casts Mail-In Ballot in Florida

President Trump shuts down media hysteria after casting a legal mail-in ballot
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.”

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.

NEW: Minnesota Children’s Hospital Snubs Trump’s Executive Order, Will Resume Sex Change Procedures on Minors


A Minnesota children’s hospital plans to resume sex change procedures for minors, flying in the face of President Trump’s executive order banning the practice.
Last January, Trump signed the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” Executive Order, which restricts sex-change procedures for minors by cutting federal funding to institutions that practice the satanic procedures.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” Trump wrote in the order.
It can be recalled that former MAGA firebrand Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) led an effort to codify the President’s executive order last year, when the House passed her Protect Children’s Innocence Act.
The bill would make it a crime for sex-change surgery and hormonal treatments to be provided to minors and leave parents who allowed their child to be mutilated subject to prosecution.
However, the RINO-controlled Senate, led by Leader John Thune (R-SD), did not even vote on the bill.
Now, states are flaunting Trump’s executive order after a federal judge ruled in favor of 21 blue states that sued the Trump Administration.
United States District Court for the District of Oregon Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that the executive branch lacked the authority to unilaterally implement a ban on so-called gender affirming care for minors due to a lack of Congressional action.
Per MPR New:
Children’s Minnesota announced Monday that it has resumed all services in its Gender Health program, some of which had been temporarily paused on Feb. 27.
The decision follows a federal court ruling in March that overturned a previous attempt to restrict gender-affirming care. This ruling, resulting from a lawsuit filed by Minnesota and a coalition of states, blocks the Trump administration from limiting access to such care.
“Offering science- and research-based health care to transgender and gender diverse youth is part of Children’s Minnesota’s vision of being every family’s essential partner in raising healthier children,” a spokesperson for the hospital said in a statement.
In February, Children’s Minnesota announced the temporary pause on prescribing puberty-suppressing medications and pubertal hormones to patients under the age of 18 in its Gender Health Program for Children. This pause was a reaction to federal actions targeting pediatric health systems that provide such care.
A spokesperson for the hospital previously said that this was not the decision Children’s Minnesota wanted to make, but it felt necessary to protect both its providers and the hospital itself.
This comes amid a lawsuit from the Trump Administration against Minnesota alleging sex-based discrimination for allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.

CNN Airs Premature Death Tribute for Actor Michael J. Fox — Who Is Very Much Alive and Fires Back with Humor

A very much alive Michael J Fox, famous for his movie role in Back to the Future and on TV as the Reagan-loving briefcase-toting Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties, mocked CNN for sharing a tribute video implying the actor had passed away.
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, but he has maintained his acting career, with roles as recently as AppleTV+’s Shrinking in 2026.
The network released a video package titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox,” which prompted him to reassure worried fans.
Fox wrote on his Threads account, “How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?”
“Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf ?”
“I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok. Love, Mike.”
The network apologized for the error.
Entertainment Weekly reports:
A spokesperson for the network told Entertainment Weekly, “The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”
********
The video in question showed viewers clips of Fox’s work over the years, as well as interview excerpts.
“He came into our living rooms on the small screen each week as Alex P. Keaton [on Family Ties] and eventually onto the big screen as Marty McFly in [Back to the Future],” the narrator said. “But Michael J. Fox had a compelling third act as Parkinson’s sufferer and stem cell research advocate.”
In 2025, Fox received the Presidential Medal of Freedom primarily for his decades of advocacy and work through The Michael J. Fox Foundation to advance Parkinson’s disease research.
He is married to actress Tracy Pollan, who he met on the set of Family Ties.
They were married in 1988 and have been since having four children: one son and three daughters.

SAVE THE KINGDOM: Billionaire Expat Returns to Britain To Be Able To Donate Millions to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK

British crypto billionaire Ben Delo – by Anne Schwarz Photography/Wiki Commons
Delo’s return is great news for Reform UK.
Under the incompetent, tax-hungry Labour party government, scores of wealthy people have chosen to leave Britain.
But one billionaire is making the inverse journey, in a bid to save his Kingdom.
He is returning to be able to donate millions to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, after accusing Labour of ‘trying to rig the next general election’.
Haha! Billionaire Brit Ben Delo who lives in Hong Kong donated £4 MILLION to Reform earlier this year, and Labour then blocked donations over £100k from Brits living abroad.
So he’s moving back to the UK to donate £MILLIONS more to Reform.
Have that @Keir_Starmer

The Telegraph reported:
“Ben Delo, who lives in Hong Kong, gave £4m to Reform earlier this year before the Government changed the law to put a £100,000 cap on donations from Britons living abroad.
Mr. Delo has accused Sir Keir Starmer of using legislation specifically to target big-money expat Reform donors “to stack the political deck against the most popular opposition party”.
Writing for The Telegraph, the 42-year-old says he is moving to the UK so he can donate millions more to Reform and ‘build a war chest’ for Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, to fight the next election.”
Nigel Farage hits out at Starmer:
“The scheming & dishonest Keir Starmer will not stop us”
“In fact, his actions have only made brave people like Ben Delo even more determined to beat Labour at the next election”
Fired up & ready

Delo is Britain’s youngest self-made billionaire, the co-founder of BitMEX, a cryptocurrency trading platform.
“Mr. Delo believes Sir Keir changed the law on donations to target Christopher Harborne, the billionaire who has donated £12m to Reform from his home in Thailand.”
Starmer is afraid expat donors can give Farage an unbeatable war chest.
Daily Mail reported:
“With Reform relying on big donations, Mr Delo said he hoped to inspire other rich expats to move back to defy Sir Keir’s ‘tinpot’ attempt to fix the next election.
The co-founder of cryptocurrency trading platform Bitmex said: ‘For Labour, sitting on its cushion of trade union funding, the idea that someone might create a level playing field by giving Reform as much money to spend as other parties is intolerable.’
[…] [Farage] said: ‘It is particularly gratifying to me personally, that someone like Ben – a builder, visionary and problem-solver, who has spent a lifetime grasping trends before other people do, sees the potential of Reform.’
Oxford graduate Mr. Delo, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at 11, said the ‘chronically dishonest’ culture of government makes it difficult for people with autism spectrum disorders to understand what politicians really mean.”
