Trump flips out over ballot cases: 'They are trying to illegally remove my name'
Donald Trump on Tuesday posted a video in which he rails against recent efforts to have the former president blocked from state ballots for purportedly aiding an insurrection.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Trump had sued the state of Michigan in connection with its operations for determining candidate eligibility. Similar cases seeking to determine if Trump should be blocked from ballots have popped up in Colorado and other jurisdictions.
Now, Trump is saying the legal maneuvering is "illegal."
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"They Are Trying to ILLEGALLY Remove My Name From Your Ballot," Trump wrote in a caption to a video posted to Truth Social on Tuesday.
"A fake trial is currently taking place to try and illegally remove my name from the ballot," Trump says in the video.
"I often say that 2024 is the most important election in American history," he continues, saying this might be "the last election we ever have" if he loses.
"Our country will not survive," he says. "If Crooked Joe and the Democrats get away with removing my name from the ballot, then there will never be a free election in America again."
Trump goes on to say:
"We will have become a dictatorship where your president is chosen for you."
