Obama Slams Trump Over USPS: He Prefers ‘Suppressing The Vote,’ Not ‘The Virus’

Former President Barack Obama is speaking out amid Donald Trump‘s opposition of money for the USPS, which could have a grave impact on the elections.

On Thursday, the president said he opposes an emergency bailout for the United States Postal Service in order to restrict nearly 180 million Americans that are eligible to vote by mail.

Trump’s moves could cause widespread delays, long lines and voter disenfranchisement come November, an issue that already gravely impacts Black people.

Many Democrats have spoken out against Trump and his apparent attempt to "sabotage" the presidential election. 

Now, former President Obama is speaking out against Trump, arguing that even if Trump wasn’t trying to give money to the USPS because of voting, the USPS is still suffering from the pandemic and needs money for other tasks.

“Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open,” Obama tweeted. “They can’t be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.”
