2020 Election

RESTORING TRUST IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to protect the integrity of American elections.

This Order strengthens voter citizenship verification and bans foreign nationals from interfering in U.S. elections.

The Election Assistance Commission will require documentary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: 

Former President Donald Trump’s final push before the Iowa caucuses came with warnings about an outrageous Democratic scheme to register immigrants in the country illegally to vote.

"That’s why they are allowing these people to come in — people that don’t speak our language — they are signing them up to vote," Trump said Jan. 5 in Sioux Center, Iowa. "And I believe that’s why you are having millions of people pour into our country and it could very well affect the next election. That’s why they are..

Former President Donald Trump’s election-year message to his supporters is clear and often repeated: If Democrats win the November election, blame voter fraud. 

Fraud by mail-in voting. Fraud by noncitizen voting. Fraud by a vast interstate conspiracy. Fraud orchestrated by the Democratic Party. 

Trump sent a fundraising appeal in August that said his victory needed to be "TOO BIG TO RIG" by the Democrats...

Donald Trump has described 6 January 2021 as "day of love" when asked about US Capitol riot during a campaign event just weeks before the presidential election.

The former president said the thousands who travelled to Washington DC that day did so because “they thought the election was a rigged election”.

Trump hosted a rally that day outside the White House before his supporters marched to the US Capitol, culminating in a mob storming the building as lawmakers certified Joe Biden's election win.

Former Vice President Mike Pence will receive the 2025 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for “putting his life and career on the line” to ensure the peaceful transfer of power in 2021, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced on Thursday.

Pence publicly split with President Donald Trump after Trump pressured Pence to reject electoral votes won by then President-elect Joe Biden following the 2020 election. Pence refused to follow through, upholding the election results on Jan. 6, 2021.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that he was ready to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss the war in Ukraine, which he said might not have started had Trump not lost the “stolen” 2020 election.

“It’s certainly better that we meet and, based on current realities, discuss calmly all areas of interest to both the U.S. and Russia,” Putin said during an interview with state TV journalist Pavel Zarubin.

“We’re ready,” Putin said, adding that he and Trump might find “common ground” on addressing strategic security and economic issues.

Donald Trump made several false and misleading claims in his first address after being sworn in for a second term as president, some of which go as far back as his first time in office.

They included claims about immigration, the economy, electric vehicles and the Panama Canal, and were followed by yet more dubious statements as he delivered remarks at the US Capitol's Emancipation Hall, such as misleading allegations about the pardons made by President Joe Biden as he left office.

Here's a summary of some of the most egregious claims.

President Donald Trump made only a smattering of false claims in his inaugural address on Monday, mostly sticking to vague rhetoric, subjective assertions and uncheckable promises of action.

But then he embarked on a lying spree.

President Donald Trump took his second oath of office Jan. 20 as the 47th president of the United States, offering an agenda heavily foreshadowed by his campaign promises.

Speaking from inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda because of the subfreezing temperatures, Trump said, "The golden age of America begins right now."
