Donald Trump has said he will issue an executive order to mandate identification for all US elections, a move likely to be challenged in court as unconstitutional.

"Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!,” the US president said on Truth Social late on Saturday.

Trump also claimed he wants to ban all voting by mail except for those who are very ill or in military service.

The US constitution grants primary authority to regulate elections to the US states, while empowering Congress to enact election laws or regulations. It gives no explicit authority to the president to regulate voting.

      No thanks, betting against this man hasn’t worked out for me yet, and I’m much too poor to spare the roof over my head when reality bends over backwards to appease this man again.

      And if needed the tech fascists will pull a Weekend at Bernie’s using AI and body doubles. Assuming they don’t believe JD is up for the job.

      Fascism isn’t ending with him dieing.

      Bet your life on it.
