There's only 345 million people in the u.s 220 million files would be a lot of his own voters too lmao. We would have to hold a whole new election.

More BS from the BS-er. Literally the ONLY president in history to say a million BS per hour.

USA has just over 173000 voters, but Trump claims China stole the files of 220,000 of them. Yeah, it seems, Trump is some AI trained to never ever tell any truth.

No "hack" was required: in most U.S. states, voter registration records are largely public information. In many cases, anyone—from marketing agencies to foreign governments—can legally view, download, or purchase this data from commercial websites. There was, therefore, no breach of secure voting systems.

220 million US voter files with a population of 345 million citizens. That speaks to the lousy job states are doing maintaining voter file integrity.
