Trump tried to put some distance between himself and escalating problems with the U.S. mail agency that have erupted since DeJoy took over

“I don’t know what he’s doing,” he said at one point when asked about DeJoy’s cuts, which have sparked widespread delivery delays and spread disquiet across the country.DeJoy’s downsizing drive - which has included curbs on overtime and removal of post boxes - has become a major concern for Democrats who accuse Trump of asphyxiating the Post Office to disrupt the Nov. 3 election, which is expected to feature an unprecedented wave of postal voting due to the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday, the Postal Service’s inspector general said it would be investigating his cuts - along with potential conflicts of interest related to DeJoy’s ownership of millions of dollars in stock in Postal Service rivals and customers, according to a financial disclosure form filed by his wife. Early on Saturday, protesters gathered outside DeJoy’s upscale condominium in Washington to chant, bang pots and wave placards that denounced him as “Postmaster Saboteur.”Pressed during his news conference on why the Post Office was being starved of funds, Trump said Democrats were blocking a cash infusion during stalled negotiations over a new round of economic aid to ease the impact of the pandemic.

It's stunning how many people believe this. it's ALL made up, yet somehow the Globe and others can spread these lies. Insanity

Your job, If one person claims it's rainingand the other says it isnt, isn't to report the debate. It's to look out the window, and report. You're failing.

It would be interesting if Trudeau “let” Canada have a free media by NOT bribing them with 600 million in tax breaks and raising CBC’s budget...a free press in Canada would be refreshing, then we could have an actual “free vote”....

Trump lies. Surely people get this by now?
