Someone Tell Trump Sabotaging The Mail Isn't Working Out The Way He Planned

When you explain it to him, use short words, and speak slowly. He really is stupid any may not understand unless you tell him over, and over and over.

I bet he thought it was a good plan.

Just like Trump Steaks, Trump University, and a crappily ran casino.

Seems like the people voting against trump will simply be people who use the USPS. I think that would amount to a majority right?

He's done some bewildering things, but I don't get this one at all.

Republicans have long hated the post office because it competes with private interests who are paying them to undermine a competitor.

This postmaster general has a financial interest in these competitors

And Donnie is a Russian agent so he's happy to dismantle the American infrastructure

And democrats want funding for the usps, so this is leverage to get a better deal.

And all this chatter casting doubt about election integrity is cover for him to steal it through *any* means. For instance literally making ballots from democratic strongholds disappear only to reappear after the election has been decided. People can think they got lost in the mail even if the mail delivery was working fine.

What is clear to me is that the attempt is illegal. He didn't even bother to try to mask the purpose. Now that is confidence.....

But he couldn't keep his mouth shut. I bet he was mighty proud of it and just couldn't help boasting or showing what a big deal he is/was. So he let the cat out of the bag and it's blowing up in his face. Not only will he be stopped, he has made so many people angry that he's going to bring out even more voters against him.
