President Donald Trump trashed the U.S. election system on Thursday in a social media post.
Trump has consistently claimed that elections in the U.S. are rigged against him despite being unable to provide evidence supporting that claim in over 60 lawsuits. Republicans in Congress have introduced a bill called the SAVE Act that would implement significant changes, such as requiring voter ID nationwide and requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
Trump called on Republicans to "fight" to pass the legislation on Thursday, while taking a swipe at the system that brought him and his allies into power
"America’s Elections are Rigged, Stolen, and a Laughingstock all over the World," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We are either going to fix them, or we won’t have a Country any longer."
