At Thursday's White House briefing, President Donald Trump went out of his way to promote a number of old and new conspiracy theories about voting, from claiming that Russia and Iran would "print" their own mail-in ballots to interfere with the election, to claiming that Democrats want to keep schools closed to eliminate polling places in them.
The president's comments earned incredulity from social media.
