We bolded the portion Democrats and others shared out of context: "So you have ID and you have citizenship. So far, so good. No mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. Mail-in ballots are a disaster. Jimmy Carter, the best thing he ever did, he headed a commission after he was president. It was the single best thing, and he did a thing on mail-in ballots. He said mail-in ballots should not be allowed because they are inherently dishonest, and we have seen it time and time again and we just keep going with it, and I put that down as a top three — look, no mail in — now, you have the exceptions for the military, and I would even say foreign-based military, but for the military, for disability, for illness and if you’re traveling, you know, you have an excuse. I was lenient on that, but those three things. "Then, I added two more. These are best of, you know best of. These are called best of Trump. We should also add on to this bill — and so what I’ve asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added, and let’s go for the gold.

"They’re doing everything possible because they know if we get this, they probably won’t win an election for 50 years, okay, and maybe longer, and they’re going to fight like hell.""Then I wanted to add two more to it because they’re – I say 95%, maybe 100% – no men in women’s sports, very simple, add that in. And I wanted to add in one other – I’m not even adding in no open borders because, you know, there’s some people that like open borders. These people are crazy, but that’s OK because I want five things that are like close to 100%. No transgender mutilation surgery for our children. You can’t have transgender for our children."President Donald Trump’s tariff policies “have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs” since last year.
