Trump TINC (Tweeter-in-Chief): Twitter Nails Him So He Threatens to Shut Them Down

Many Presidents had a dog but not Trump – His Fav 

Twitter (and rightly so) slapped a fact check label on a pair of “misleading” tweets from Trump on his May 26 tweets in which he railed against mail-in voting amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump’s first tweet: “There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one.”

Trump’s second tweet: “That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!”

Factual history of this issue: Numerous experts who study this issue have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud (NBC news), and one of the best sources is The Brennan Center at NYU (that site has numerous links to solid evidence stories that dispute the notion that voter fraud is a widespread problem all across the country).

My 2 cents: Reminder that Trump voted by mail in March. 

His new Press Secretary (Kayleigh McEnany) voted 11 times by mail (both say it is fraud and corrupt way to vote - oops). 

As a former (now Retired) Marine (as most military folks) while on active duty and out of the country always have the chance to vote by mail. I did numerous times. Boy, I hope that was not corrupt 40 years ago??? (smile)
