Former President Donald Trump once again expressed his skepticism towards the United States election system during a speech to Michigan Republicans on Sunday. He called for the implementation of paper ballots and made claims about the lack of legitimacy in American elections.
Addressing Oakland County Republicans in Michigan, Trump asserted that he had revitalized the steel industry in the state by imposing tariffs on foreign aluminum and steel during his presidency. He emphasized the importance of steel, borders, and elections, referring to the latter as “fake” in the United States.
In his keynote address, Trump stated, “And if you don’t have steel, you don’t have a country, like borders, like elections, got to have real elections.” He went on to claim that the United States does not have genuine elections, but rather, fake ones.
It is important to note that Trump and his allies have made allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite the lack of evidence supporting such claims. A poll conducted before the midterms last year revealed that nearly 40 percent of Republicans would blame voter fraud if the GOP failed to regain control of Congress.

According to a recent survey published this month, approximately three in 10 Americans still believe that President Biden won the 2020 election due to voter fraud.
Trump’s remarks reflect his ongoing concerns about the integrity of the election system and his call for changes to ensure what he perceives as fair and secure elections.
