Jamie Raskin: “The American people are smart, that they are not going to be fooled by what is happening here today.”

President Trump is obviously desperate for the American people to ‘love’ him.

This is a naked power grab by a historically unpopular president—who himself regularly votes by mail—to inject confusion and chaos into our elections in a last-ditch effort to keep his party in power.

But stealing taxpayer dollars to pay for Mr. Trump’s narcissistic ego trips is plainly illegal.

It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.
