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.

Senator Tom Cotton Blasts Democrats for Not Funding DHS – (VIDEO)


Senator Tom Cotton was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the funding of DHS.
Senator Cotton blasted the Democrat party and its leadership for their radicalized ideology to continue preventing the funding of DHS.
“What do you think of the President’s call for getting rid of the filibuster?” Bream asked.
“The President is right that the Democrats have become crazy on this issue,” Cotton said.
“The reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and Border Patrol,” Cotton said.
“We prefunded ICE and Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw just how radicalized Democrats have become,” Cotton continued.
“What you have seen over the last week is Chuck Schumer continually move the goal post. He makes a deal and then he retreats from that deal,” Cotton explained.
Senator Cotton explained the intention of the Democrats, who have been radicalized. He said their goal of unmasking agents is so they can terrorize ICE agents and their families.
“Democrats insist that we write a new law that ICE officers can’t wear masks. The reason why ICE officers wear masks is because radical left-wing Democrats will dox them, and then their street militias will terrorize their wives and their kids at their houses,” Cotton explained.
“That’s why the Democrats are inflicting long TSA lines on the American people,” Cotton continued.
The Senator defended President Trump’s common-sense policies of prioritizing the safety of the American people from the disaster Joe Biden invited in during the previous four years.
“What the President is trying to do from the beginning is to protect the country from the wave of illegal immigration that Joe Biden invited into America that has brought depraved, savage gang members and drug traffickers into our country,” Cotton said.
“Now, the President on Friday made the decision that he’s gonna fund TSA using monies that have been appropriated for other purposes, but for which Congress gave him discretion to use,” Cotton explained.

INSANE! No Kings Protester Graffitis “KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT” on Federal Building in Los Angeles as Rioters Clashed with Federal Agents and Threw Concrete Blocks – 75 Arrested (VIDEO)

No Kings Protester spray paints Federal Building in Los Angeles with “KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT” graffiti
These are the so-called “peaceful demonstrators” that the Democratic Party claims are innocently making their voices heard.
A No Kings protester in Los Angeles was filmed vandalizing a federal building with a message calling for violence against ICE agents.
WATCH:
And rioters actually used deadly weapons, including concrete blocks, against agents and officers.
At least two people were reportedly arrested for assaulting federal officers, and two officers were injured by concrete chunks that were lobbed at them, according to federal officials. At least 75 arrests were made in total.
Videos from the riot show rioters breaking concrete blocks to be used as weapons and taunting agents on the other side of a security fence.
The Los Angeles police department deployed tear gas to disperse rioters as they were assaulted. At least one man was tackled by multiple officers as they attempted to fend off the violent mob.
Via ABC 7:
First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli issued a notice to the rioters on X, writing, “My office has authorized immediate arrests for anyone assaulting law enforcement. You will be arrested and charged with a federal felony.”
He later posted a photo of a suspect, writing,
Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned.

More from My News LA:
The Los Angeles Police Department’s incident commander declared a citywide tactical alert around 5:10 p.m. Saturday after a group of demonstrators started kicking a fence in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center at Alameda and Temple streets. Demonstrators were ordered to leave the area.
“Protestors on Alameda between Aliso and Temple have been warned multiple times by Federal Authorities to not attempt to tear down the gate and not throw items,” a post on an LAPD social media account said.
The downtown No Kings Day rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park across from City Hall began around 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by a march at 3 p.m., part of a nationwide day of protests against the Trump administration.
The protest was peaceful until the late afternoon.
