Former President Barack Obama condemned President Donald Trump in a new interview over his efforts to “actively kneecap” the United States Postal Service in order to frustrate mail-in voting ahead of the November election — casting the maneuvers by his White House successor as “unique to modern political history.”
The House bill also included a $25 billion payment to the cash-strapped Postal Service “for revenue forgone due to coronavirus.” Trump, who has claimed mail-in voting results in widespread election fraud, referred to those funding figures Thursday in an“[Democrats] want 3 ½ billion dollars for something that will turn out to be fraudulent. That’s election money, basically. They want 3 ½ billion dollars for the mail-in votes, OK? Universal mail-in ballots.
Too stupid to know the difference between mail in voting & absentee voting?! HUGE DIFFERENCE & DEMS are intentionally misleading voters! If they can protest without 6' distancing, they can vote IN PERSON! Even DR. FAUCI says there's 'NO REASON we can't vote IN PERSON! SCIENCE!
OBAMA BALONEY!!
Politico🤣
He wants to have the election the Chicago way.
No Democratic Mail In Voting Fraud.!!!
Well, Obama tried to 'kneecap' the entire United States, and still is.
Except Trump offered $10 billion for the USPS as part of the latest stimulus package and Democrats left town without a deal. So this is fake outrage and I don't see you pointing that out.
This is the Dems new pony...ride it because it will buck you just like The Russian Hoax The Impeachment Stormy Daniels Letting Crazy people ruin Cities and Defunding the Police.
Postmaster General must be stopped now. He work's for the GOP Fundraising. Conflict of Interest!
The Postal service has been our rock in the history of the USA. Ne ver have we ever encountered any wide spread disruptions or human slow downs to try to help one politician over another. This must end or we will become another country with a Dictator.
That's rich coming from Obama
We do not give 2 fucks what Barack says. Get it
It’s funny every time when the POTUS realDonaldTrump wants to fix something that is so broken the Democrats and fake Republicans cry foul.
It’s been the very worst of government for decades.
NO ONE CARES
It's imperative that people show up at the Polls if they can to have their vote counted!
Kneecap....coming from a thug.
BarackObama weaponized the IRS against Conservatives. Now he's pushing the use of the USPS to rig the 2020 election after committing treason in 2016 failed. He remains the most dangerous person walking the planet.
...Idiota...
How low can Trump go? VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
If you want your vote counted, go out in person and vote.
The post office has already been knee capped well before realDonaldTrump
AgapeLoveAllDay Voter suppression is illegal, yet teump is getting away with it. This has been planned for a while. I don't say nor write cuss words, but damn it man, Trump is a lying bastard.
America, RISE UP! Vote & pledge allegiance to our Flag🇺🇸 of the USA & to its Republic/People for which it stands for; one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty & justice for all.🦅- VOTE GOP/RNC/DJT! 4MorYrs-K🇺🇸G-Protect US from Socialism.
Obama PARDONED those (Dems) caught in MAIL IN voter fraud 2016. Some commited sr offense midterm & got caught. Why are you not anti Mail In voting when it’s proven so many votes disappeared & dead voting, even dogs? You want a fair election right?
Obozo had his chance.

Shut up, Barack. Your time has passed.
Vote in person. You can protest. You can vote in person. Period.

Hey kids! It’s the new Russian Collusion 2.0 MailboxHoax
Media forget about second stimulus checks?
Dont dems and reps have to do the deal? Then trump signs it off? That would make this article, this headline and barrys statement dishonest.
Obama/Biden effectively knee capped the USPS for 8yrs by doing nothing to fix it! Obama should be honest: Admit what a mess the USPS been for decades. Admit this is an issue right before Nov, only because the Dems need the USPS to pull off their fraudulent vote scheme.
Spewing Disinformation 😡
Nothing Obama says matters anymore, and it's killing him. LOL
BarackObama should be in jail for spying on POTUS
Urkel is going to jail. Thats all that matters.
Tell O he doesnt matter any longer, nor his opinions
Obama shouldn’t even be in Washington, much less having anything to say about what our President Trump does!! Obama should be in jail!!
Nobody cares what Hussein says
Hey UPS & FedEx I geuss y'all better help the USPS get the vote out, cause they are sucking wind right now! Man see what competition does, it tames out of control monopolies and sometimes destroys them in the process! Ooooh Well! 🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣
Who gives a 🖕🏻what he thinks?
Says the ex president who tried to sabatage the Trump presidency.
Obama can STFU. In his first 2 years he had a Democrat House and Democrat Senate. They did absolutely NOTHING to help the USPS.
I think dead people shouldn’t be able to vote by mail
I believe someone else is in charge at the Post Office, someone new who is taking action to stop the $2 Billion in losses. Ppl use email now. You've heard of email? Post office is restructuring to handle packages, which Ppl, who are shopping online, will probably be happy about.
The most disrespectful, anti-American president ever!
Obama committed treason. Why is it the media doesn’t ask him about it? Oh yeah because they are frauds
Consecutive revenue loss for 13 years. The pandemic and Trump isn’t the cause and no amount of money thrown at it will keep it alive.
It’s the Dems not coming to the table. Get your facts right. Oh wait my bad
BS post office is not prepared for mail in ballots. If they want then 2024 should work fine
Obama is not in political office no one cares
What was he kneecapping when the usps closed hundreds of offices in 2011.
Resistors are protesting!
Vote in person! Problem Solved! Stop whining about nothing! Vote on your way to the grocery store where us hard working ‘Mericans buy your steak and lobster!
Haha he’s ruining Barack’s corrupt plan! 😂😂😂😂😂
Now we know definitively how the dems want to rig the elections.
OBAMA is a MARXIST himself
Too stupid to know the difference between mail in voting & absentee voting?! HUGE DIFFERENCE & DEMS are intentionally misleading voters! If they can protest without 6' distancing, they can vote IN PERSON! Even DR. FAUCI says there's 'NO REASON we can't vote IN PERSON! SCIENCE!
Who cares go to your local polling place and vote as usual that's what me and my family are doing
Trump is desperate and will not stop at anything. Look out 5th Ave-there's probably going to be a shooting.TrumpHatesAmerica USPSsabotage TrumpKillsUSPS
Washington State has drop boxes, and if USPS is slow, people should be encouraged to use them to return their ballots. Other states should have drop boxes. An improvement would be car-accessible drop boxes.
Hey Postal Service I will volunteer if you need me, free of charge!!!!
Fuck Obozo
VoteRedToSaveAmerica
Obama weights in on this obviously false post office narrative. He must be panicking!
Barack who ?
B-rock Obama should be in GITMO. Who cares what he thinks.
Congress passed the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. The act, among other things, required the Postal Service to start pre-funding the health benefits of future retirees 50 years in advance at a rate of about $5.6 billion a year.
We will show up at the polls! Let’s go!!!! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
I wish Democrats Would Care about the rioters looters and ANTIFA destroying public and private property every night i. Democrat RUNNED Cities and States. Chicago NYC PORTLAND Philly the crime is horrible and is way up. The Democrats just act like its not happening.
Jajajajjajjaj yes se jodieron porque eso no vaaaa.
Privatizing the post office is a long standing Republican wet dream. DeJoy owns stock, lots of it, in some if those companies. Conflict of interest. Destruction if Federal property. Mail tampering. Election interference. Arrest that mofo. And 45 too!
No oneI mean no one I talk togives a rift what he thinksin fact we wish we’d never have to see his face againhe had his turnhe divided America thst was his planwe deplorable people aren’t stupid
Everyone seems to question the shutting down of vote by mail as a Trump campaign tactic but no one seems to be questioning the democrats wanting so badly to have this option available when it has been proven to have major flaws that could significantly fraud the election process
Just proof that Obama is running a shadow govt...he is not the president anymore so why is he even speaking out or people still paying attention to anything he says...all he is there for is to further divide the nation like he did for 8 years
Can’t you shut up obama
14 years in financial trouble. Why didnt obama help them?
🥱 Obama we don’t care let it go you did your time 👋🏼
Democrats aim to steal the 2020 election using mail in voting
Barack Obama should keep his mouth shut! I have never seen a former President get involved like BarackObama does to undermine the current POTUS ! BackOffObama
Barack Obama watched the US Post Office bleed billions and did nothing. No excuse.
Conspiracy theories are ridiculous. This predates mail-in voting. He said no new funding unless they raise prices months ago. Look it up.
I'm getting my mail on time.
Go away! You are no longer President!!
Barack Obama is a traitor.
Obama is pasee lets leave it that way
Democrats preparing their next excuse when they lose on Nov. 3.
NastyOldWomyn Robert Duncan,USPS Bd of of Inez Deposit Bank in Inez, Kentucky.( think moscowmitch)Call 606-298-3511, you’ll get bank message with a dept,don’t destroy the USPS to kill an election for all Americans. Protect USPS whistleblowers.
I freelance, and the slowdown hurts me because many of my clients only pay, by check, via mail. Must also be hurting small businesses that depend on the mail to get their products to their customers quickly.
He had years to fix it, he can shut up and disappear like Bill Clinton, George bush
Using a mob term for this president is apropos.
His administration had eight years to correct this long recognized problem....and did not!
Elections have consequences
This is a lie fake news. What trump is trying to do is stop fraudulent votes in which the Democrats are hell bent on doing so they can cheat the election again
Because Barack Obama knows that America is headed for a Trump landslide victory.
Remember that Obama is a criminal. This is well documented.
Rediculous! Request an absentee ballot or vote in person!
Who?
More like Nancy Kerrigan it. We should call DT Tonya Harding
Well, we can now tell at least one of the main Democrat tactics to steal the Nov elections: Voter fraud via mail in ballots. Thanks Barry!
I think Congress is kneecapping the nation not Trump
i love it I lived past 4 presidents with class when retired very little ejection or opinion Now we have retired BarackObama he feels the need to stur, mix it up with no Class. Make life harder, Stifle baby Stifle
This manufactured fake outrage is so silly.
Kneecap an organization who can't deliver packages on time? The horror. 😱
Why haven't the Democrats gone to the court system for an injunction to reverse these moves? It seems an obvious way to fight this fascistic tool. Nothing less than our future is at stake!
MAGA MAGA2020
Thats a lie. Ask the workers of the implosion. Your lying.
Obama is correct ....
The same ppl that bitch and complain about a package being a day late are the same ones pushing mail in voting.
There is absolutely no reason people can't vote in person. USPS can't handle the volume.
I'm sure Trump would condemn the billions that mullah lover gave to Iran. Barack can get lost, his opinion is irrelevant as hell. All he did was raise the cost of my insurance by 20%
Isn't that what Tulsi did to Kamala in the debates.
Trump ain't bending over is more like it. Fair and honest
Trump has always been a coward. He’s afraid he can’t win.
Wow a traitor with an opinion. Obamalamadingdong!
I’m sick of hearing what Obama has to say! Why won’t you let this guy disappear and quit living in the past!
EVERYBODY SHOULD CONDEMN TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂🙄😂. Now their’s the pot calling the kettle black
Trump KNEW EXACTLY what he did when he hired new POSTMASTER GENERAL. TRUMP NEEDED someone to stop, delay mail in ballots. Since UKRAINE didn't work. Has to lie liw on RUSSIAN MEDDLING. Try another tactic. USPS. For you TRUMP MORON BASE. THE MAIL.
Translation: Democrats are afraid they are going to lose so they are sowing the seeds for law suits. If this is their new Russia Hoax man oh man, are they scraping bottom this time. Cheaters tactics
'kneecapping' is apt phrase for the wannabe Mob Boss's actions
Due to a little invention called 'emails', USPS mail delivery is down 30% and its losing billions of dollars per year. realDonaldTrump is cutting overtime and retiring unused and expensive sorting machines. There is not conspiracy by Trump to steal the election.
Only way to make sure your vote will count is to vote in person.
President is sabotaging the USPS. Senate will not act. We need to send this to the courts. Sign AND share this petition
You can’t have mass mail in voting when the union for postal workers endorsed Joe Biden. You expect us to trust people who endorsed Biden to deliver the votes of people with Trump signs in their yard? That’s crazy! Votes would be stolen.
Lol he’s missing some points , everyone can notice that
Shorter version: lying meddling 0bama continues lying and meddling.
trump is now overtly creating voting chaos and interference. not even bothering to disguise it anymore.
Lies
USPS will remove drop boxes from Republican dominated districts next.
Knee cap it and break the legs off! They are like schools enough is never enough! Vote a Trump 2020! Obama belongs in prison!
realDonaldTrump just handed JoeBiden a great campaign gift: defunding the USPS is a stellar campaign angle. This could put the final nail in his coffin.
Trump’s attack on the Post Office is not a surprise: Trump hired 50,000 armed militants to “watch” the polling places. Those militants are not going to be able to discourage voters if everyone mails in their ballots. fridaynightmassacre PostalService rachaelmaddow
Dog whistle
NO USPS needed! USPS is removing drop boxes. Refurbish & place them outside each voting location. Poll workers collect each day. Have 30 days of early voting for in person or paper 'drop in' ballet. Keep mail in for absent but burden due to virus resolved! SIMPLE- pls retweet
trump is vandalizing our country because he is egomaniac with no morals. SaveThePostOffice VoteBidenHarris2020
Trump has “actively kneecapped” many things, like OUR nations COV-19 response and ensuring OUR schools are SAFE to reopen.
Trump doing all this because his ass is going to jail when he loses and he knows it is.
obama still showing his elitist chops,,, first acts like he doesnt understand the funding of post office is in congress hands ,,, not potus and he thinks like pelosi its better to starve americans than feed them in short term sane people get what they can
Obama tried to kneecap America’s economy.
Unbelievable he is a big fat baby
Yes , we need to support our postal workers. They need to get their full retirement and health insurance benefits at age 56 retired. Cool 😎, I want to be a mail carrier.
So U HAvent figured 0ut It's AII About getting amazon 2 pay Up? Thought U were All About Getting Every1 2 Pay their fair share. BarackObama TheDemocrats
Voter suppression in the works.
Trump's criminal, eleventh-hour attempt to undermine mail delivery shows his contempt for two iconic American institutions: the postal service and our democracy.
President Obama is correct. Trump will cheat and lie and let people continue to die needlessly...all to win re-election.
no mention of him 'bone spurring' the USPS?
No, the times have. The USPS has run its course. We no longer require daily mail service when the majority of mail is nothing more than junk.
During this pandemic, I have lost my job, my partner and about to lose my house. I have two children and no income. If you can help, my cash app is $athastings07. Thank you!
The US Postmaster’s email address is louis.dejoyusps.gov
Trump, the anti American constitution “president”.
Yes president Obama, we know! He is just pathetic
INVESTIGATE OBAMA-BIDEN----A DEMOCRATIC DISASTER
Obama should've bailed out the post office back during his term
Obama is first President to participate in a coup d'e-tat.
Only Obama believes the USPS is a success and performs well!
Here is your vote people. realDonaldTrump Isn't lying when he said your vote could go missing. U can't trust the usps to deliver your bills let a lone your vote YouTube
No one cares what the Worst of All Time FORMER President has to say about any matter. He had his eight years and was a traitor to Our Country. The FORMERS need to sit down and stay out of Our Government. It's a new day and old dogs should stay on the porch. Period.
kenjeong Well isnt Obama the pot calling the kettle!
Even if the USPS is handed $35 billion, there is no time to implement the funding, train new worked, expand facilities. This is all an attempt to force corrupt mail-in ballots.
Federal criminal law (18 USC 1701): Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail, or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Oh dear how sad. Never mind.
The USPS is not a private company. Profit or not, the US Mail should be in the hands of the American people ASAP!
The radical left is desperate to cheat. They know the cannot win if the election is fair
Says the guy who actively kneecapped the Trump campaign and the president elect.
kenjeong
The Postal Service is a terribly run organization. Obama sold them out to Amazon due to the sinking, and now Amazon is dropping them due to inefficiency.
Trump later clarified, he is simply allowing USPS to go about its normal business wherein it loses thousands of letters and packages per day.
Trump is doing more than “kneecapping” - and McConnell is part of it too. It’s McConnell’s boy Robert M. Duncan who is behind this. The KochNetwork and PutinsPuppet against the American People.
Proof positive that Dems just love incompetence.
Obama please just go away your like a bad penny keeps coming back!
Just so you know realDonaldTrump, my 95 year old grandfather gets his meds sent through the mail so you are to blame for when he becomes a pain in the ass without his prostate meds. Many vets and elderly rely on the postal service. USPSsabotage DrawTheLine

He sucked as president
Obama is soooooo yesterday.....
Who cares? Barack was a stooge and crook.
If we cared who BarackObama condemned HillaryClinton would be President. She's not. 2016 was just as much a condemnation of Barack as it was Hillary. Barack did not help her.
Trump must be stopped
Why don't we use Pentagon and military funds to fund the postal service?
Can we just point out that many people working for the USPS are veterans? As in the post office is one of the largest employers of veterans, so abusing it is abusing them. Donald does not care about veterans.
Once again BarackObama...you're no longer in the White House, working in secret with JoeBiden spying on realDonaldTrump campaign. The USPS isn't FISA! Take a look at ARIZONA, we've been voting by mail since the 90's! You can actually TRACK your own ballot!
Mail-in IS susceptible to fraud. Jerry Mosna found 83 mail-in ballots shipped to his apartment complex in San Pedro, California this weekend. All 83 ballots were sent to the same address where a single 89-year-old woman lives. Registrar's office is investigating.
Obozo the clown 🤡
.forfeityoursalary. Each Senator must forfeit their salary until agreement is reached on the Bill to help desperate Americans and USPS.
It's exactly what he is doing
JoanieReb This is why I am going to early vote if possible if not in person on election day.
Both parties seem to have an issue with mail in voting. Request an absentee ballot if you are physically unable to vote, it would cut down the confusion and not overwhelm the USPS. The postal services was overwhelmed with holiday mail the last several years.
Oregon's longstanding vote-by-mail elections include ballot drop-off boxes, no post office required!
Remember when a local NYC election used all mail ballots and it took 8 weeks to figure it all out...wait sorry I'm getting an update...IT'S STILL ONGOING
If you can go to the grocery store, if you can go pick up take out you can vote. If you live in a bubble in your home just request an absentee ballot which is verfied. Otherwise show up with your ID.
Compare and contrast. Then vote. TrumpVirus BidenHarris TrumpKillsUSPS
Please drop your ballots off AT the polls. ❤️
