PolitiFact - Trump falsely claims Michigan illegally sent ballots to all voters

Trump tweeted that Michigan’s "rogue" secretary of state sent absentee ballots to 7.7 million people "illegally and without authorization" ahead of the primaries and the general election.

Trump is wrong. The day before his tweet, the Michigan secretary of state announced that she was sending an application for absentee ballots to registered voters, not an actual ballot.

The state constitution guarantees registered voters access to an absentee ballot.

We rate this statement Pants on Fire.

Trump falsely claims Michigan illegally sent ballots to all voters

Given that this President will be voting by mail-in ballot to Florida, Trump appears oblivious to his
hypocrisy!

Apparently the American public are expected to put their faith in the integrity of the President, but Trump believes that its the electorate that can't be trusted!

That's the standard republican position; "If we let every citizen vote, it would be a disaster."

For them, anyway.

Decades ago, Patrick Moynahan, staring down America's enemies in the U.N., blasted them for demanding that the US unilaterially cut all ties with Puerto Rico.

"The United States will not take direction on democracy from regimes that don't even trust their own citizens enough to let them vote in free elections."

There was much feigned outrage and pearl-clutching, but Moynahan made his point, drawing a line in the sand. Today, the occupant of the WH makes it clear that we can no longer mock other nations for not trusting their own citizens.

The real question is what excuse are supporters going give "we miss understood him","he was being sarcastic"," he wanted to see how the liberal media would freak out" or "it was a joke".
I think they're going go with we "misunderstood him".

This President is on the public record placing his trust in the denials of Putin and other foreign adversaries in their attempts to influence American elections, despite the confirmation by the America's 17 intelligence agencies!

Trump remains outspoken, however, when it comes to repeated accusations directed against his fellow American citizens attempting to subvert their voting system, despite the lack of proof to support these suspicions!
