Even before his loss in the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump unleashed a smear campaign on the 100+ year old institution of voting by mail, anticipating an unprecedented number of pandemic-induced mail-in ballots.

After the election was called for now-President Joe Biden, Trump repeatedly lied that counting stations had "found" votes for Biden in the dead of night, when in reality, the mail ballots—which were more likely to lean Democrat thanks to Trump's smears against mail-in voting—were simply being counted.


Trump and his supporters worked to throw out as many mail ballots as possible and the former President only doubled down on his lies that Democrats somehow used mail voting to facilitate election fraud that delivered Biden a false victory.

Those lies eventually led to the deadly siege on the United States Capitol by pro-Trump extremists earlier this year.

Never one to show contrition, Trump is back home in Palm Beach, Florida which will soon hold its municipal elections.

In what his critics say is a master class in hypocrisy, Trump has requested a mail-in ballot, signaling he intends to cast his ballot by mail. The development was first reported by the Palm Beach Post.

Trump voted by mail in two Florida primaries last year, but because he was President at the time, he said he couldn't be at the ballot box in person, which according to him was the only time mail voting was permissible.

People weren't surprised by his hypocrisy.




That didn't stop them from calling him out



Others couldn't help but laugh.



Florida is one of dozens of states where Republicans are looking to implement more voter suppression laws in the wake of their 2020 election loss.

In an appearance on The View, actor Carrie Coon—a star on HBO's hit shows The White Lotus and The Gilded Age—spoke about her political views and how it can be tricky to navigate when someone you care about supports Donald Trump, summing up her reason for speaking out against him in just four simple words.

In the third season of The White Lotus, Coon’s character Laurie broaches the topic during an uncomfortable dinner with her childhood friends Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) while vacationing together. Tensions later rise when Laurie and Jaclyn learn that Kate is now a Republican and voted for Trump—a scene that was conceived and filmed well before Trump’s re-election.
