    Trump voted by mail, so by that reasoning, he did a terrible thing.

    I don't follow anything he tells people to do.

    I listen to people who have knowledge and experience. He has neither.

    No. 

    Trump isn't concerned at all about fraud.  In a call he made to Fox News the other week he explained why he really opposes the idea of making it easier to vote by mail.  He told the hosts that if they implemented these ideas that the Democrats had turnout would be so high that you'd never be able to elect a Republican again.  So Trump is among a growing body of Republican politicians who believes, mostly correctly, that the American people usually prefer Democrats and that any kind of large turnout election will inevitably break against Republicans.

    Possibly. if you were able to vote electronically the elations would be easier to hack and interfere with, but voting by mail could take a large amount of time. By the time you count the votes, and receive them, the process is simply too complicated. So, I think it is terrible, they should consider an easier method.

    Only if he thinks that his supporters are unable to write or unable to grasp the concept of "mail."

    But it's far more likely that he wants to keep the turnout low. He's showing his desperation.

    The president, who has repeatedly lied about millions voting illegally in 2016, seems determined to limit voting in 2020.

    Trump’s baseless attacks on vote by mail are a pathetic attempt to suppress the vote in the middle of a national crisis, . Expanding access to the ballot through mail-in voting should not be a partisan issue, yet Trump and his cronies are trafficking in debunked conspiracy theories to undermine efforts to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot this fall.

    Is Trump ever correct about ANYTHING? It's so sad that he thinks "a Republican can't win in a vote by mail".  Wow, such confidence in his political party.

    If Trump IS correct, it would be the FIRST time in 4 years that he was correct about ANYTHING.

    You can pretty-well assume that when he opens his mouth, it is either wrong or it is a deliberate deception.

    Besides, if everyone goes TO the polls, the cases of covid-19 will skyrocket.  Trump's suggestion is a death-sentence for many people. And he doesn't care.

    All 50 states already offer absentee voting by mail. You cannot be an American and not know that.

    What the Democrats tried to do was attach a provision to the COVID-19 bill that would have allowed imaginary people to register to vote by mail and then vote by mail, like already happens in California.
