President Trump has long publicly decried mail-in voting.
On Monday, while in Memphis, he called the process "mail-in cheating."
Of course, that didn't stop him from using a mail-in ballot during a special election in Florida.
Trump essentially defended his behavior by saying I'm President and you're not:
There’s a big difference between somebody who is out of state and does a ballot and everything is sealed and certified and everything else. I think mail-in voting is a terrible thing. I think if you vote, you should go.
Alas, when Trump voted by mail, he was in Palm Beach, not in DC.
What it comes right down to is the fact that Trump demands of others what he will not demand for himself. And why wouldn't he? Trump doesn't believe the rules apply to him and, well, he got the Supreme Court to agree when they bestowed him with presidential immunity.
Trump doesn't have a problem with utilizing mail-in voting.
What he has a problem with is losing elections and accepting the fact that he lost.
In his worldview, Trump does not lose elections unless there is chicanery. Hence scapegoating mail-in voting.
This country has been voting by mail since the Civil War and he wants to take it away from everyone.
Well, everyone that is but himself.
