On Friday President Trump sat for an interview with Sean Hannity following his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska.
During his interview with Sean Hannity, Trump disclosed that Vladimir Putin told him he won the election in 2020!
Trump says that Putin told him that he knows our elections are rigged and that Trump won 2020! He went on to explain how our elections are rigged by mail-in voting.
President Trump: “Vladimir Putin said something, one of the most interesting things. He said, your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. He said, mail-in voting every election. He said no country has mail in voting. It’s impossible to have mail in voting and have honest elections. And, he said that to me. We talked about 2020 and he said you won that election by so much. And, he said if you won we wouldn’t have had a war. You’d have all of these millions of people alive now instead their dead… And he said, you lost it because of mail in voting. It was a rigged election…
…But Sean I know the answer is that Jimmy Carter, years ago, along with Scoop Jackson and some others, they had a committee. Respected people, Jimmy Carter, a good guy. He was a good man. And the conclusion is you can’t have mail-in voting. We have mail-in voting. It’s so dishonest. They send stuff. Some people get seven ballots. Look at California with that horrible governor they have. One of the worst governors in history. He’s incompetent. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. They send out like 38 million ballots. Some people get five, six, seven. But Vladimir Putin, smart guy, says you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting. And he said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

“Why would you ever let your ballot be out of your own control until you cast it in person?”
And even then you have to worry about what happens to your ballot AFTER you cast it.
A small-time example is “The Battle Of Athens”. A big time example is 2020.
...Specifically, the Russian government has expanded the use of electronic voting, including online voting through the Gosuslugi portal, to increase participation and potentially exert control over the voting process, particularly in urban areas and annexed territories...
Who needs mail-in when you've got electronic voting equipment, eh?
Putin, you've got some 'splainin to do, товарищ.
It’s a distraction from the real menace.
See my reply #43.
It explains a lot.
Liz, you are a wonderful resource and a true gem of a person!
I always enjoy your posts.
Ok, so do Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Germany, UK, and the rest have clean, honest elections?
Mail in voting makes fraud easy. As witnessed by every state in the US that uses it is a democRAT cesspool. Who would knowingly vote for their own demise?
He uses everything at his disposal as leverage. He doesn't care that it may appear he is chasing after something irrelevant or banal. It is a tool to throw others off, to use that as an opportunity.
He is very different with those he is around all the time. His sons and daughters show much more of the real “him” than he allows himself, in public.
He wants people to think like you to surprise you.
Been saying that since the very first time I saw it used in Oregon over 30 years ago. It must be ended now!!
Putin is correct, but has no special knowledge.
He’s just telling Trump what he wants to hear to gain favor.
Anyone with a pea-sized brain know the dastardly Democrats rigged that election.
How do you steal elections without mail-in voting
Then you don’t verify the signatures on the envelope. If the initials are close to the original it is allowed. Close is a relative word.
Putin’s ego-stroking strategy is so obvious that surely Trump takes it with a grain of salt, and is just letting Putin think it is working.
“ And frankly, I value his opinion much more than yours on this matter.”
I think for myself , doesn’t really matter what a politician says on a matter .
Base banalities can always be rationalized as befuddling brilliance.
Then explain how an idiot becomes president twice against rigged votes.
He is not an idiot. Please rectify your statement.
You are the one claiming he has no “brilliance”—only “base banalities.”
Go change yourself.
Nope, base banalities is not all he has. They can be found in the smartest people. And base banalities does not make one an idiot.
