Trump Rebukes Brian Glenn Over ‘Off Topic’ Question About Mail-In Ballots — Then Rants About Them Anyway

President Donald Trump put Real America’s Voice reporter Brian Glenn on the spot for asking an off-topic question about mail-in voting, which he then answered anyway.

Trump on Monday hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for another high-stakes meeting over the war with Russia. The meeting came days after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for a summit in Anchorage, Alaska.

When the Oval Office meeting was opened up for questions, Glenn — who’s also the boyfriend of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — asked Trump about mail-in voting. Hours earlier, the president said on Truth Social he’d try to eliminate the voting method.

After first remarking how “off topic” the question was, Trump proceeded to rant about the issue for several minutes while taking various detours into other topics:

GLENN: You pushed out on social media about doing away with mail-in ballots and potentially electronic voting machines. Can you expand on that and how it works?

TRUMP: Well, it’s a very off topic [question]. Just really quickly: mail-in ballots are corrupt. Mail-in ballots — you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots, and we as a Republican Party are gonna do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots.

We’re gonna 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. You know that we’re the only country in the world, I believe — I may be wrong — but just about the only country in the world that uses it because of what’s happened. Massive fraud all over the place.

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 watermarked paper and everything else. We would get secure elections. We’d get much faster results. The machines — I mean, they say we’re going to have the results in two weeks. With paper ballots, y ou have the results that night. Most people — almost [everyone] — but most people, many countries use paper ballots. It’s the most secure form.

So between paper ballots — very, very important — paper ballots, and I think maybe even more important, the mail-in voting. We’re going to end mail in voting. It’s a fraud. If you have mail-in vote — even Jimmy Carter with this commission, they set it up. He said, “The one thing about mail-in voting, you will never have an honest election if you have mail-in.” 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 sports, and with transgender for everybody, and open borders, and all of the horrible thing — and now the new thing is they love crime. They’re fighting me on the fact that I’ve made Washington, D.C. safe. We’re not going to get mugged, beaten up or killed like all the people you’ve been watching get so badly hurt. I’m glad — I hate to take your time with this — but I’m glad you asked me that question. We’re gonna stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt.

Trump continued for approximately another 80 seconds.
