On a day when the United States approached 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, more than the last five wars and September 11, 2001 combined, the president once again spent the day on Twitter. During Tuesday’s rant, Trump once again lied about the dangers of mail-in voting, insisted that only CNN and The Washington Post have called out his misinformation campaign, and threatened Twitter.

Trump has pushed his claim that mail-in voting leads to voter fraud, despite an abundance of sources, including the government Trump currently runs, disproving that claim. Using statistics from the federal government, voterfraudfacts.com says that:

‘Out of the 197 million votes cast for federal candidates between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters were indicted for voter fraud. Only 26 of those cases, or about .00000013percent of the votes cast, resulted in convictions or guilty pleas.’

Trump is so far more upset with Twitter for their “interference” in an election than he is with Russia.

The long-forgotten voter fraud commission appointed by Trump shortly after his inauguration, paid for with American tax dollars, disbanded after research proved their jobs to be useless. Why does Trump continue to insist that mail-in ballots will cause widespread voter fraud? The answer to that has been given by Trump himself.

The Seattle Times reported that:

‘In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Trump referenced proposals from Democrats in the coronavirus stimulus negotiations that would have vastly increased funding for absentee and vote-by-mail options. The final package included $400 million for the effort, which was far less than what Democrats had sought.

‘“The things they had in there were crazy,” Trump said. “They had things – levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”’

Twitter had a big reaction to Trump’s complaints. Read a few of those responses below:
