Trump's latest attempt to revamp US elections mocked by analysts: 'Irony is dead'

President Donald Trump's latest attempt to revamp America's election system was brutally mocked by political analysts and observers on Monday.

In a short Truth Social tirade, Trump demanded that the Republican Party shift its focus to passing the SAVE Act, which would implement several large-scale changes to how the U.S. conducts elections. For instance, it would place significant limits on mail-in voting and change the documentary requirements for voter registration.

The call came at a time when Trump was pushing Republicans to find a way to fund his $400 million ballroom with taxpayer money after the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

"America’s Elections are Rigged, Stolen, and a Laughingstock all over the World. We are either going to fix them, or we won’t have a Country any longer," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Political analysts and observers mocked Trump's comments on social media.

"Irony is dead. Murdered. Person of interest: Mister January 6," writer Harry Turtledove posted on Bluesky.

"Trump having a normal one demanding mass voter suppression as his press secretary insists he totally isn’t a threat to democracy," history PhD candidate A.U. Davies posted on Bluesky.

"Total panic, better find a way to cheat AGAIN when you are guaranteed to lose," consultant Milan Asanović posted on Bluesky.

"Trump knows - as does the GOP - that he is failing HARD, and the midterms, if unmolested, will be the beginning of their collective end. So, of course, they are either going to steal the elections or prevent them from happening altogether," writer Tim Jackson posted on Bluesky.
