President Trump took questions from the press following their talks. Reporter Brian Glenn from Real America’s Voice asked him about his TRUTH Social post from this morning, in which Trump announced he was going to get rid of mail-in voting and electronic election machines.

President Trump: Well, I will… Just really quickly. Mail-in ballots are corrupt. With mail-in ballots, you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots. And we, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we can to get rid of mail-in ballots. We’re going to start with an executive order that’s being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots because they’re corrupt.

The other thing we want change are the machines. For all of the money they spend, it’s approximately 10 times more expensive than paper ballots. And paper ballots are very sophisticated with the watermark paper and everything else. We would get secure elections. We’d get much faster results. The machines, they say, We’re going to have the results in two weeks. With paper ballots, you have the results that night.

And it’s time that the Republicans get tough and stop it because the Democrats want it. It’s the only way they can get elected. Because with men and women’s sports and with transgender for everybody and open borders and all of the horrible things. And now the new thing is they love crime. They’re fighting me on the fact that I’ve made Washington DC safe. We’re not going get mugged, beaten up or killed like all the people you’ve been watching get so badly hurt. I hate to take your time in this, but I’m glad you asked me that question. We’re going to stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt. When you go to a voting booth and you do it the right way and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in…
…As you know what happens in California, it’s so corrupt, where some people get five, six, seven ballots delivered to them. Now we got to stop mail-in voting, and the Republicans have to lead the charge. The Democrats want it because they have horrible policy. If you don’t have mail-in voting, you’re not going to have many Democrats get elected.
