Have you ever seen a knockoff bag? If you squint, these cheaper options can look like the real thing.

That seems to be the idea behind mockbusters: shows that resemble Broadway hits in style and sound but are similar enough to evoke the same feeling—for much cheaper royalties.

Although he regularly claims mail-in ballots are used by Democrats to rig elections, President Donald Trump was called out for voting by mail in Florida's election on Tuesday—and saying it's okay that he did it because he's the "president."

Palm Beach County records show that Trump cast a mail-in ballot earlier this week in the special election for Florida’s House District 87, the district that includes his Mar-a-Lago residence. He also voted by mail in the January primary for the same race.
