Trump is martyring the postal service
Trump has shown his hand. Now we know.
Trump told Fox Business on Aug. 13 that he opposes emergency funding for the US Post Office because it would help the service deliver more mail-in ballots in November. They need that money in order to make the post office work, so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots, Trump said. But if they dont get those two items, that means you cant have universal mail-in voting, because theyre not equipped to have it.
This, we can now see, is a major reason Congress cant pass another stimulus bill to help businesses and workers reeling from the coronavirus recession. The two items Trump referred to are additional funding streams Democrats want as part of the next stimulus bill: $25 billion to plug ongoing financial holes at the postal service, and $3.6 billion to help states fund a surge of mail-in voting. Republicans who control the Senate oppose that funding, and Trump has now indicated why.
Trump thinks mail-in voting will help Democrats more than Republicans. In March, Trump told Fox News that with expanded mail-in voting, youd never have a Republican elected in this country again. Theres no evidence thats true. Many states have liberal mail-in voting rules that cause no apparent problems, including Republican-controlled states such as Iowa, Montana, Ohio and Utah. Yet Trump seems convinced, without proof.

Because he's a frightened little boy.
