President Donald Trump proclaimed Wednesday that the U.S. Postal Service doesn't have the capacity to handle an unprecedented increase in mail-in ballots because it lacks funds that his administration is blocking, remarks that were immediately viewed as an open admission of election sabotage by a president who has previously called USPS "a joke."
During his daily Covid-19 briefing Wednesday evening, Trump dismissed Democratic congressional leaders' demands for $3.5 billion in election assistance for states and $25 billion for USPS as "ridiculous" and vowed to continue blocking the funds. While USPS leadership insists it has "ample capacity" to meet election needs, postal workers have warned that without emergency funding, the agency could struggle to deliver mail-in ballots on time in November.
"Therefore, they don't have the money to do the universal mail-in voting. So therefore, they can't do it," said the president, who repeated his false claim that mail-in voting is highly susceptible to fraud. "How are they going to do it if they don't have the money to do it?"
I think this is misfiled under "Trump Lies".
He is being totally honest. He's bribing the counter-party. It's worked for decades. It's even worked with foreign governments....ask Ukraine.

A reporter should ask a reasonable, but medically specific, question that would be something that one of the doctors should handle. It would point out the lack of medical expertise in the room.
"Is the change in guidelines regarding isolation after fever related to new information about the RNA viral shedding?"
"The regulations are almost done, and they are really beautiful...like people tell me they are the most amazing regulations anyone has ever seen...really amazing...fantastic...perfect regulations like never before. Obama had regulations and they were useless...these are beautiful...amazing regulations".

The book, which portrays the president as almost pitifully desperate for affirmation, provides a harsh contrast to Trump’s self-made image as a tough and successful businessman. It also represents an extraordinary breach in the wall of secrecy that he has erected around his life.
More than any modern president, Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal or distort major details of his private life, barring his schools from releasing transcripts, refusing to disclose his tax returns or detailed health information, and requiring employees and others to sign nondisclosure agreements to prevent release of unflattering material about his business and personal affairs.

You'd better do more than HOPE, however. Please do the world a favor and help Joe get out the vote! Joe may be older than Chump, but with his honesty and integrity, he could run the country better from a hospital bed in an old-age home!

Yup! It's his classic "Not many people know this"......by which he ACTUALLY means, "I didn't know this until just YESTERDAY when one of the advisors I haven't fired (yet) tried to warn me not to mess with it".
