President Trump spent much of his daily briefing Wednesday railing against additional funding to support the Post Office and mail-in voting — repeating the unsubstantiated claim that voting by mail is ripe for fraud.

President Trump on Wednesday criticizes Democratic congressional leaders for seeking additional funding for mail-in voting and the U.S. Postal Service.President Trump on Wednesday criticizes Democratic congressional leaders for seeking additional funding for mail-in voting and the U.S. Postal Service.

"The Democrats have abandoned the American people over the simple subject of politics. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are holding the American people hostage over money for the radical, left-wing agenda that the country doesn't want and won't accept," Trump said. Each side continued to blame the other for refusing to budge. Democrats have said they are willing to compromise with Republicans to reach a deal to provide Americans with financial relief from the effects of the deadly pandemic, but party leaders said Trump and his allies have refused to meet them partway in negotiations.

Just a reminder that “unsubstantiated” is an understatement here to the extent it implies general uncertainty. Recall that Trump specifically convened a commission to look for widespread voter fraud and found NOTHING:

Meanwhile, in reality:

And the HouseGOP and SenateGOP sit by and allow him to scare away their voters! Brilliant strategy! VOTE VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Voter fraud Except in Florida Laughable donnie

“Without evidence” again with the linguistic propaganda. You mean without the evidence your own outlet has reported on multiple times?

Then his argument should be used against him and a huge push should be made to pour funds into more (safe) polling locations.

NPR- you would have to be a FOOL to think mail-in voting is NOT the most insecure way to have an election, or else you’d have to be an OUTRIGHT LIAR!!!!!

He’s going to do it again unless our side stands up!

It is

Gore tried to nullify absentee ballots from deployed military too. Appointing a guy to run it that has 75 million invested in USPS competitors though is taking it up a notch. Delaying US Mail is a felony, at least is non-cronies do it.

“Unsubstantiated “ 😂. Just look at every election since April and the evidence is all over the place. npr is a disgrace.

Defund NPR.

Delusional leftists....trying to steal 2020 after failure in 2016.

Just say lie. C’mon.

'Mail-in voting in Oregon has worked for decades, says Republican'

He needs to be gone

More fake news from NPR. Mail in voting is absolutely riddled with fraud. This was a great press conference.

I love the usps as I’ve never not received a bil. Seriously though they are an asset and congress should 1) give them whatever money they need and 2) try to eject the nutcase that’s currently in charge.

railing? not hardly he was calm cool and collected. stop inserting opinions and just report the facts

GOPLeader senatemajldr GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP you believe in attacking my US Post Office? You think we will not forget how you are cheating! Of all the things you have done this is vile! People get ready to vote! Take back our voice! Protect the US Post Office!

It's not unsubstantiated Stop saying it is. It ADDS failure and fraud points. There are ample examples easily found of it fukin up even in the last two months. Just be fukin honest instead of partisan for once....

From the Leftist Lexicon: Railing means disagreeing with creepy little pigs like the fake journalists at NPR.

He's the fraud! Resign!

The orange man is deranged!

He keeps giving numerous examples of fraud. Do you actually listen or do you only hear what you want to hear?

Is this supposed to be a Coronavirus briefing? This guy is off the rails.

😂😂😂😂 he really has no idea he's already lost this election! God he's so dumb

The biggest problem here is that people will not get their medicines and essential items. But, come hell or high water...we will Vote

Kanye West is voter fraud personified.

What does it matter? You have not considered Antifa. It's likely the next federal buildings attacked will be post offices. They are opposed to our democracy.

Go to 1:23:30 of this presser from today and then defend your fake headline.

He is hilarious...and gee...we can vote in person...early vote...and wear masks...wash...and stay six feet apart. I am going to Vote

Yikes

STOP KILLING US

Psst!! Hey media... Trump is facing SERIOUS JAIL TIME if he doesn't win in Nov so he'll literally LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING to make sure he doesn't lose.

Any system can be tampered with or corrupted unless there is complete transparency and accountability. If these aren't met, then speculation will exist.

There are a lot of known issues with mail in ballots. How can you call that unsubstantiated?

Worst case scenario we will all brave the VID to go out and vote. No way we allowing this sucker to still the elections

If dead people can get relief COVID check, then voting by mail can cause fraud in election.

goloko_7 Voter Suppression Federal Crime

MAiL IN vOTe frAUd iS a MYtH!!! 🤡🤡

We must save USPS from a political lackey DeJoyMustGo his actions will disenfranchise WeThePeople 'He’s given apparently $2.5 million to the Republican Party. He also donated to Donald Trump’s victory fund.' SaveOurRepublic

Better start signing and hustling that maga garbage. Sale ends in 83 days.

Donnie: Show us the proof! Didn't you ever write a college paper? ('When you make a claim, you must provide evidence').

Trump is trying to rig the Election.

Again. He trying to take the focus off his lack of leadership. Don’t fall for it.

Come on, if it wasn’t fraud then explain what happened in NJ?

The Post Office is being dismantled. Reps have decided if they can’t win fairly just cheat. The sad part of all of this is that they’re using a mentally ill celebrity to try & win the election. And the worst part is Jared, Trump & Ivanka think people of color will go for that.

Where is the Senate? Oh yeah, McConnell can't be bothered, except to occasionally accuse the other side of inaction

The USPS will be fine. The only people mailing in their ballots will be panic riddled sheeple. Won't even be as busy as Christmas. Try harder.

Vote fraud? Sorry I’m from Chicago. 😂😂😂. We vote early and often and we we are proud of that.

He thinks if he says it enough EVERYONE will believe him, while it will only be his groupies

Man gotta go.

The USPS delivers bills, magazines, medicines, glasses and contacts, payments and the occasional letter -- not just ballots. We need timely delivery of everything everyday.

Was it unsubstantiated when Jerry Nadler said it was ripe for fraud ?

He's so off course we may actually win in November, even with a VP pick that has a lower approval rating than Trump now and Hillary in 2016.

Funny that Democrat Nadler said the same thing in 2004....but FAKE NEWS WONT REPORT IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT THEIR LIBERAL AGENDA/ NARRATIVE

Could you just run “repeating lies that voting by mail”. Accuracy, word count. journalism [And if it WERE true, wouldn’t he logically want MORE funding?]

Why are you calling it 'unsubstantiated' instead of, I don't know, 'false?'

.realDonaldTrump is really worried about letting all Americans vote

Axed

He must pay for how much destruction he has done to LIVES, TRUTH, ECONOMIC EQUALITY, AND OUR DEMOCRACY.

All lies as usual. Good thing no one was watching because they everyone was watching Joe and Kamala's debut.

How’s New York’s summer election going? All the mail ballots in and counted?

Dems want mail-in voting because they want to steal votes, just like the past 100 years

Please follow and share my list trump100reasons

Been quite a few cases showing just how apparent it is that mail-in voting is quite susceptible to fraud

In my state, Colorado, everyone gets a ballot mailed to them at their home address. You can complete it at your convenience, and mail it in or drop it off in a secure dropbox. It’s easy. It encourages everyone to participate in democracy. We’ve had record turnout. VoteByMail

20,000 ballots already mailed to dead people and you're still calling his claim unsubstantiated? Come on, ladies.

But we Americans clearly see that it is ripe for fraud. We see through your propaganda.

Orange mad bad

If. realDonaldTrump was concerned with the USPS he wouldn’t have put a DONOR in charge TRUMP IS TAMPERING WITH THE MailInVoting IN PLAIN SIGHT

Completely separated from the US political system, I have to wonder. Is there not too many humans in the chain, with minimal surveillance, to not be concerned about fraud with mail in voting?

TrumpKillsUSPS

The news treats him far too kindly.

It is ripe for fraud. It's common sense.

he's unraveling

WHY AREN’T YOU TALKING ABOUT CHILDTRAFFICKING SEXTRAFFICKING EPSTEINFILES WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING PEDOPHILLES LIKE BillClinton AlanDersh AND PRINCEANDREW YOUR SILENCE SHOWS US CLEARLY WHAT SIDE YOU ARE ON. SAVETHECHILDREN

Standoff over Covid relief could drag into SeptemberWhite House officials and top Democratic leaders signaled that they can’t agree to meet face-to-face, much less forge a compromise, on a Covid relief bill to help the battered U.S. economy or tens of millions of Americans facing financial hardship That works real well for those who’ve lost their jobs. Here's an example of U.S. leadership failing miserably, as both sides assume an adversarial stance rather than one of compromise. It's inexcusable that bickering and political infighting persist while many suffer. It's no wonder Americans have so little confidence in government. Dear leader won't let them...
