Trump unloads on Democrats over voter ID: ‘More bullsh– than any human beings on the planet’
BS BULLETIN:
- President Donald Trump used his keynote address at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas to renew his push for voter identification requirements.
- Trump argued Democrats oppose voter ID because they “want to cheat,” then delivered one of the night’s most memorable lines about their explanations for opposing Republican proposals.
- Democrats dispute Trump’s accusation, arguing that measures such as the SAVE America Act could make it harder for eligible Americans to vote.
President Donald Trump wasn’t interested in diplomatic language when the subject turned to voter ID Wednesday night.
Speaking at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Trump renewed his push for tougher identification requirements at the polls and accused Democrats of inventing excuses to block them.
“The only reason they’re fighting us is because they wanna cheat,” Trump told the crowd. “There’s no other reason.”
Trump then mocked one argument against stricter voter identification requirements — that obtaining the necessary identification can be difficult for some voters.
His assessment of those objections was considerably less formal.
“They have more bullshit than any human beings on the planet,” Trump said.
The remark drew a strong response from the convention crowd and quickly became one of the more colorful sound bites from Trump’s lengthy opening-night address.
But the language was wrapped around a serious legislative fight.
Trump and congressional Republicans have been pressing for passage of the SAVE America Act, which would impose photo-identification requirements for federal voting and proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration. The White House has made voter ID a central part of its election-integrity agenda.
Democrats have opposed the Republican legislation, though their argument is not that voter identification should never exist. Critics contend that the proposed documentation requirements are overly restrictive and could prevent some eligible citizens from voting.
Trump isn’t buying that explanation.
Earlier this year, he said voter ID requirements should be in place for the midterms “whether approved by Congress or not” and threatened to pursue an executive order if lawmakers failed to act.
Wednesday night, Trump returned to the issue as part of a much broader pitch for voters to preserve Republican control of Congress in November.
The president told supporters to effectively treat the midterms as though his own name were on the ballot, arguing that continued GOP control is necessary to advance his agenda.
And on voter ID, at least, nobody leaving the arena was likely to wonder what Trump thinks of the Democrats’ objections.
MY QUICK TAKE
Only Trump could turn a policy argument over voter identification into a line that practically writes its own headline.
Washington has produced thousands of pages arguing over election law. Trump needed about nine words.

All this side crap is nothing but crap! The Useless Republicans hold both Houses! Why hasn’t this been passed? That is the only question here!
Why is it that the Dems have the power when they have the majority, and yet the power when they have the minority?
Why? Because the Republicans are Fn useless! When they need your vote they’ll promise everything to fix our mess, but when in power they produce shit! They don’t have a conservative majority, and they only care about keeping seats, and that’s why RINO’s will never be thrown out. What good is keeping the seat if it never votes your way?
If you think the Democrats are mostly responsible for the mess this country is in, then you’re no better then the left’s sheep. You’re a sheep of the Republicans. No fix for Medicare, Medicaid,Social Security, the Deficit, the Debt, inflation, gas prices, and so on. No real priority for the mass of the sex Slave trade in our country! Names of Epstein’s pedophiles! Another Fn war! Don’t give me that garbage about nukes! I’ve been hearing that from the last 5 presidents, if not more! 47 years! How Fn long does it take to make a nuke?
I don’t want to hear that bullshit about fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here. That is such a Fn bullshit line! It’s been used on almost every war and every military engagement! How is that working? 20 Fn years in Afghanistan and it is right back to where it was before we went! Besides, the towelheads are here throughout our government! Mosques everywhere! Dearborn Michigan lost! A Fn Muslim city going up in Texas because half the idiots there just want to be friends with our Muslim “ friends” and make them feel wanted! WTF!
A Fn Muslim governor of the site of 9/11!!! They’re taking over here while we spend trillions fighting over there! Hello you Fn dopes!!!
Trillions fighting that silver spoon fed, Obama loving ahole Bush’s war in Iraq, over fake nukes and bio weapons!!And that’s not counting how many great soldiers lives spent fighting these useless wars, and military engagements!
Now we are sucked in fighting Israel’s wars for them again, as they go expanding their land control, and murdering tens of thousands of children in Gaza! We don’t kill children for what their parents do! We send the money and weapons and Israel kills the kids! Yes, I hate Islam, but we don’t kill children! Don’t go there, because if you do, then you have zero right to complain if Muslims kill your children because of who you are, or what you do, or back!
I read MAGA posts, and it’s like the Fn sheep on the left! Everything Trump does is great, and you’re a commie if you disagree! Hey, open you Fn eyes! I voted for Trump every time, but what the hell happened to him? A war that has no end of us winning, unless we put boots on the ground, and that isn’t going to happen because we didn’t vote for this war to start. I was ok with taking out the nuke facilities, but regime change was NOT on the ballot! Gas prices are Fn horrendous! Food prices are horrendous! House prices are Horrendous! The Deficit is Horrendous! The Debt if Horrendous!
Where are those who yelled about Biden’s two trillion deficits? Trump has given us two trillion deficits and it’s ok now!!! You Fn sheep are Fn stupid! Just because Trump has done much good, you can’t see the trash he’s done!
We are just like Rome. Military spending gone wild, our kids learn nothing, morals gone down the drain, and everyone separated into their own little groups fighting for extra rights that are unconstitutional!
We are so Gone! Trump could have really saved this country, but what happened to him?
