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.

61-Year-Old Woman Executed in Wisconsin by Deranged Ex-Coworker Who Targeted Her for Being a Trump Supporter, Legacy Media REFUSING to Cover This Politically Motivated Murder

Christine A. Jones, a 61-year-old housekeeping supervisor from Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, was shot and killed in a downtown Madison parking ramp last week after being targeted by a former coworker for supporting President Donald Trump.

The suspect is her former coworker, 31-year-old Diamond Simone Wallace, who had previously accused Jones of racism because of her support for the president.

Police responded to the 300 block of West Washington Avenue around 8 a.m. on March 22 after reports of a person down in the parking ramp.

Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.

She had parked in the ramp before heading to her shift at a nearby hotel.

According to the criminal complaint, Wallace worked with Jones at the same downtown Madison hotel until he was fired in April of last year.

After the firing, Wallace returned to the hotel, made threats, and caused disturbances. The hotel’s general manager obtained a temporary restraining order against him.

The complaint states Wallace blamed Jones for the termination, slashed the tires on her Chevrolet Silverado, and had previously accused her of being racist just because she supported Trump.

Wallace “expressed animosity towards CAJ [Christine A. Jones] for being a Trump supporter,” the filing reads, according to a report from The Center Square.

The killer was arrested on March 23, the day after the shooting.

Police recovered a handgun and a blue hooded sweatshirt that matched surveillance video from the scene. Ballistics linked the gun to the murder.

Wallace has a prior felony conviction from 2019 for resisting an officer, which prohibited him from possessing a firearm.

The leftist killer appeared in Dane County Court on Wednesday.

Court Commissioner Jason Hanson set cash bail at $2 million.

Wallace has been charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 1 at 2:30 p.m.

The Republican Party of Dane County issued a statement condemning the violence:

“No grievance, no workplace conflict, no personal resentment justifies violence. We reject any attempts to politicize this tragedy, but we cannot ignore the pain of losing a Dane County woman’s life… Dane County deserves better. Our neighbors deserve better. We must all do better. Be better humans. Choose decency. Reject violence.”

As of Sunday, no major national legacy media outlets have reported the political motive detailed in the criminal complaint.

If a Trump supporter had killed someone over political beliefs, it would dominate headlines for weeks with screams of “MAGA extremism” and “threats to democracy.” But when the victim is a conservative grandmother targeted for supporting Trump? Crickets.

Gateway Pundit will continue to update this story as new information becomes available.

A Palm Beach, Florida, elections volunteer was arrested for stealing computer equipment encrypted access key ahead of a special election where a Democrat won by 800 votes.

John Panicci was arrested on Friday for taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19 ahead of the March 24 special election.

As previously reported, a Democrat flipped a Florida state house district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Emily Gregory won state house district 87 in last Tuesday night’s special election.

President Trump won this district by 11 points in 2024.

Last Monday, ahead of the election, President Trump endorsed Republican Jon Maples for state house district 87.

However, Emily Gregory defeated Republican Jon Maples last Tuesday night.

NBC Miami reported:

A man accused of stealing election computer equipment in Palm Beach County was arrested on Saturday, authorities said.

John Panicci was charged with taking damaged computer equipment, supplies/electronic devices.

According to detectives, on Friday, they arrived at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office after receiving reports that sensitive computer equipment had been stolen.

During their investigation, detectives said that on March 19, the Elections Office was doing a training session for volunteers who were going to help with the election scheduled on March 24.

Detectives said that during the training session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.

The key that Panacci allegedly took was programmed only for the training databases, but there were concerns that if someone else could reverse engineer the encryption, they could then use it on a voter registration kiosk for malicious purposes.

Victor Reacts: This Is Sick, Predatory, Disgusting Behavior by Minnesota Democrats (VIDEO)

Young man discussing the impact of early exposure to pornography on adolescents, highlighting statistics about boys and girls at critical developmental ages.

Children are often exposed to pornographic content between ten and thirteen years old.

How is that possible?

Children cannot buy firearms, alcohol, or even spray paint.

So why are so many children exposed to such graphic adult content?

Because of things like this.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Every single Minnesota House Democrat voted against a bill that would have required age verification on pornographic websites to protect children from watching or accessing explicit online content.

The vote on House File 1434 ended in a 67-67 tie on Thursday, with all 67 Republicans supporting the measure and all 67 Democrats opposing it.

The tie killed the bill.

The legislation would have mandated that commercial websites where 25 percent or more of the content consists of material harmful to minors verify that users are at least 18 years old before granting access.

The bill defines “harmful to minors” based on standards lacking serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for youth.

It included protections for data privacy and enforcement mechanisms through the attorney general and private lawsuits by parents.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during a debate about the bill, Democrat State Representative Leigh Finke, the state’s first openly transgender legislator, voiced strong opposition, claiming porn can be “educational” for queer kids.

Finke claimed that the vague definition of “prurient interest” could be interpreted to include “the very existence of transgender kids.”

Intentionally allowing children to be exposed to this content is sick, predatory, and disgusting.

The left appears hellbent on destroying the innocence of children. Parents everywhere should take note.
