Trump Falsifies Claims

U.S. President Donald Trump revived a claim from his 2024 campaign that Americans must show identification to buy groceries, despite grocery purchases typically not requiring ID.
Trump also asserted, falsely, that mail-in ballots lead to election corruption.
His claims misrepresent a commission co-chaired by Jimmy Carter, which did not assert mail-in ballots guarantee corruption.
There is no evidence that recent elections were anything but free and fair.
