During a press conference, Liz Landers from PBS NewsHour asked Twinkle Toes Trump about the mail-in ballots, but Trump danced around the first question and flat-out ignored the second one:

Landers pointed out that the Supreme Court ruled against mail-in ballots earlier this week, but states like North Carolina had ballots going out as soon as next week. She asked how states were supposed to implement the decision on such short notice.

Instead of answering the question directly, Trump praised North Carolina as a great state because he won golf there three times. Trump then said that SCOTUS had ruled on the illegitimacy and how they wanted to make mail-in ballots legitimate. Trump then called it a "great ruling for the Republicans."

Landers then asked Trump why he continues to vote by mail-in ballot, but Trump just ignored her and went on to another reporter.

Another judge has already ruled against Trump's plan for mail-in ballots. If Trump was so happy with the ruling, why would he dodge questions about it? Is it because he knew it wouldn't stand, or because he didn't want to answer for his hypocrisy?
