President Donald Trump sat down for an exclusive interview with “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” where a primary focus of the conversation was centered on the election problems of the 2020 presidential election.
Trump reflected on his administration in 2020, noting that everything was going along swimmingly until the “rigged election” that year. “It was rigged, 100 percent rigged,” Trump stated.
The president said that one of the questions he gets asked the most is, “How do we stop them from cheating?”
In the chaotic aftermath of the 2020 election, Americans’ trust in the United States election system has been severely damaged, and so many voters and Trump supporters naturally are concerned about the security and the integrity of the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Trump explained, “I’m in Florida now. I drive to various locations, and airports, and places – every house has a Trump sign…We’ve got all the votes we need.”
He added, “The risk is, what’s going to happen during election period?”
President Trump criticized the ongoing vote-counting processes that became a standard procedure in 2020 and beyond, essentially turning Election Day into a multi-day affair.
Trump said, “We ought to go to all paper… same-day voting and voter ID.” He also pointed out that “the Democrats are violently against voter ID because it will it very hard for them to cheat.”
Host Lou Dobbs pointedly asked the 45th president what he would like to see Republicans do in response to the overwhelmingly unsecured election processes in the United States today.
“The Republicans don’t fight the same way,” he said, lamenting the weakness of Republicans like Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
However, he said, “We have great people now watching.” He encouraged Republicans and Americans to “watch that election period [and] secure the vote, really.”
