President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he wanted “all” people to vote by mail in Florida. The president’s tweet comes after he spent weeks attacking mail-in voting. Florida is the state where Trump is expected to vote.

“Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“Florida’s Voting system has been cleaned up, so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail!”

1. SO did someone tell him the fix is in for Republicans if they vote by mail

But wont be able to fix in his favor if to many people vote in person...

[zentrum]

12. Yep. They told him no

….matter how they vote, the fix is in.

I think he needed to do this in Florida because his main supporters in that state are pretty old.

18. Russia is up to no good in Florida

24. Much easier explanation. His vote here is old.

If he convinces enough of them not to use mail in ballots, a certain percentage of them will not make it to the polls.

2. "Florida's Voting system has been cleaned up..."

Coming from the Drumpfster, that sounds rather ominous. Is the fix in already?

3. But of course because he has to win

FL. But Nevada and every other battleground state needs to risk their citizens getting CV-19 to vote. Self interest and no shame.

[riversedge]

25. yes. well said.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. "I love chaos" is giving everyone whiplash. It is what it is....

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Suddenly Trump must be damn sure the fix is in

Frorida Democrats should grab some covfefe and think long and hard about how the GOP might hack Frorida mail in voting.

6. what happens when you a moron being led around by the likes of Stephen Miller trying

to find ways to suppress voting

7. If Pendejo45 is requesting it, he's up to something. ...

[SheltieLover]

8. Fix is in

Fk him. Ill vote in person!

It's not like we live in a free democracy or anything.

21. During one of those 7 phone calls, Putin probably told him not to worry if Florida votes by mail.

"I took care of you last time, and I'll take care of you this time. You are the best president the United States has ever had, believe me. I am so fortunate to have you as my best friend, Donald. Stay strong and dominate."

[SheltieLover]

22. Yup

[Fla Dem]

9. Guess that means we'll be getting good US Postal Service in Florida! Yea!!!

[Botany]

10. I wonder if the idea that all those seniors in Florida can't leave their homes to vote got to Trump?

But if you are stuck in your house or condo or apartment because of the Trump virus you might not
want to vote for Trump anyway.

[tableturner]

13. +1!

[ananda]

11. That's bc he's now got USPS backlogged..

.. so the ballots won't arrive on time.

[Nay]

15. Yep. nt

[LeftInTX]

14. When you have a president who shares every random

thought in his head as a possible EO, this what you get.

[Snoozin]

16. All the nopes in Nopeville...

Nice try tRump. I'll be voting in person! (as usual)

[intrepidity]

17. I think it finally clicked when Swan explained to him

That there was no difference between mail in and absentee.

Yes, that's how dumb he is.

[rockfordfile]

19. You could see this coming

[yellowcanine]

20. So we went from Executive Order threat to "I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail!"(sic)

He really is a douche, again.

[sakabatou]

23. How long until he says something against mail-in voting?
