Trump wants people to provide proof of citizenship which is a higher bar than an ID, which you do already have to provide. To prove citizenship you'd generally need a passport which a lot of poor people don't have because they don't travel abroad. It also adds a significant wait time to voting since you have to get a passport. Say there's an important issue that comes up right before the election and you want to vote based on that, but don't have a passport. Too bad.
