Live from NPR News, I'm Jail Snyder, President Trump used his prime time spee...

doubt on the integrity of the country's elections.

Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted

accurately in a system, and that is to make that system secure. One where cheating and interference are not just difficult, but virtually impossible. Unfortunately, the system we have today for us, catastrophically sure of that standing. Trump claimed elections in the U.S. are vulnerable, declassifying intelligence. He said exposed fraud and foreign interference.

He accused China of interference in the 2020 election that he lost a former president Joe Biden contradicting U.S. intelligence findings. During his speech, President Trump said that the networks that did not broadcast his remarks should have their licenses revoked, ABC and BC and CNN put the speech on their streaming services, CBS and MS now cut away before he finished Fox News carried it in its entirety.

President Trump's businesses made more than $2 billion last year, an unprecedented winfall

But the other half, including Bavanna, who participated under the condition her last name would not be used, said, "This is a serious issue." For me, when I see that the first thing that comes to my mind is abuse of power, and that

to me is morally wrong, and that itself should be a problem and is a problem to me. Senator voters said they were not troubled by Trump's earnings because he is a business man, and because they believe that most politicians are corrupt, Ashley Lopez and PR news.
