Trump attacks 'ridiculous' early voting after encouraging supporters to vote early
After speaking for about an hour at his Bedminster country club, Donald Trump took questions from the media, where he responded to one question by attacking early voting after encouraging supporters to vote early.
One person asked a question about credit card debt, which is an increasing problem, particularly with high interest rates. The official question was what Americans should do when it comes to things like credit card debt.
Trump's response didn't address the issue. Instead, he rambled about early voting, encouraging people to do so before attacking it. Trump has attacked early voting for years — believing that it was part of why he lost in 2020 — but has flip-flopped on the matter.

"You know what I think they should do? They should — on Nov. 5 or sooner if it's early voting, which largely it is, which is ridiculous; we should have one-day voting paper ballots, we should have voter ID, we should have proof of citizenship because people are voting and people are going on now without citizenship, but we should do it," Trump said.
"And maybe we'll be able to get that done too. It's one of the things I wanted to do, but my message to them would be very simple: Vote for Trump," he continued talking about himself in the third person. "And we're going to fix the problem. We're going to get it fixed."
He took another question without explaining his plan or suggestions to help people deal with credit card debt.
