Competing interpretations of this clip making the rounds. Both make some assumptions:
1) Get rid of the [mail-in] ballots, they're a problem. Then there won't be a transfer of power [because I'd win at the polls].
2) Get rid of the ballots [and cancel the election]. [I'm king.]

Trump talks like he has marbles in his mouth. It's not good.

Could also mean: “More mail-in-ballots are gonna be a problem. I keep warning you about this [rightly or wrongly]. We must encourage people to vote in person.”
Trump’s word salad is genuinely hard to parse. Journalists kinda have to form narrower questions + ask him to clarify.

This works too! Universal befuddlement + contempt is preferable to the *absolutist catastrophizing* that’s currently en vogue.
“OMG, did you hear what he said! It was crystal clear! Unbelievable.”
“WTAF? What are you even saying? Do you have a head injury? Unbelievable.”
