"But you were in Palm Beach"
Acyn @AcynTrump: I used a mail in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for Florida because I felt I should be here.

my question to the President in the Cabinet meeting that wrapped up a few moments ago

“And because of the fact I’m president of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt like I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sun,” Trump said.
After the reporter pointed out that he’d been in Florida the past few weekends and could have voted in person, Trump falsely claimed that the state had exceptions for people away on business trips.
In reality, Florida is a no-excuse mail voting state, meaning any voter can request a mail ballot. But if Republicans follow the president’s lead and include a proposed ban on no-excuse mail voting in the SAVE America Act, Trump likely would not have qualified for his recent mail ballot if the bill became law.
“So, I was away, mostly in Washington, D.C., so I used a mail-in ballot, but I don’t appreciate the question,” Trump, who has regularly voted by mail in the past, added.
Just a day before Florida’s special election, Trump called mail voting “mail-in cheating.”

...no one would care except that this is one of the main planks of his anti-voter agenda that he's simply violating.
