BROKEN: Trump Reverses Opposition to Mail-In Ballots

Washington, July 15, 2020

Trump Cites COVID-19 In Reversal of Mail Ballot Opposition

by
Hoodia Blieve

In a closed-door interview with this reporter, President Donald J. Trump said that he will announce a push for more mail-in balloting for the November, 2020 Presidential election. Asked why he was reversing course, he said, "Well, a lot of my supporters have failed to wear their masks in public as I have advised and are catching the Covid. If they're in the hospital on ventilators, they won't be able to get out to vote, I suppose. So, I will send them all mail-in ballots to use, or to have their nurses fill out."

Responding to a question about why he had not been wearing masks himself, Trump said, "That's just a lie. I wear a mask all the time. The liberal socialists like Sleepy Joey Biden are trying to put out that story!" When this reporter pointed out that Trump was not wearing a mask for this interview, Trump retorted, "You need new glasses, sweetie! It's right here on my face!"

that it's necessary to read all the posts to see if it's satire or not.

Few are bold enough to attempt satire. Kudos, MineralMan for taking the time to give us this chuckle. Love the byline, too!

He found a way to cheat with mail in ballots!

Then I read the author's name and figured it was in fun.

Good job!!
