Trump Tells Dan Bongino The GOP Should 'Nationalize' Voting in 15 'Crooked' States

President Donald Trump urged Republicans to “nationalize” the voting process in order to block “crooked” Democrat-led states from allowing illegal immigrants to vote, which the president said is going to make it nearly impossible for the GOP to win moving forward.

The president made his comment during an appearance on Dan Bongino’s Rumble program on Monday; it was Bongino’s first show back since he recently quit his job as the deputy director of the FBI.

“These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally,” Trump said. “And it’s amazing the Republicans aren’t tougher on it. The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.'”

He added, “The Republicans oughta nationalize the voting.”

Voting? That's what I thought. Sounds like diaper don is feeling the heat cause he knows they are going to get pummeled in November. And that is because of his "policies".

It will all happen IN THE MOMENT for shock and awe value totally throwing chaos into the mix while he affirms "the upper hand." Opponents will run to the courts, leading to more confusion while Repubs will say until they are blue in the face that "they won."

And Congress will not pass any law “nationalizing” voting in any state.
