Trump says universal mail-in voting will make America 'the laughing stock of the world' and predicts a 'catastrophic situation' as he blames Democrats for failing to reach a deal on emergency USPS funding

President Donald Trump has predicted catastrophe if states continue to pursue universal mail-in voting for the November election, saying there will be chaos and massive delays in announcing results.

'Universal mail-in voting is going to be catastrophic, it's going to make our country the laughing stock of the world,' Trump said at a press conference at his New Jersey golf club on Saturday.

Trump blamed Democrats for failing to make a deal on emergency funding for the U.S. Postal Service, which faces historic revenue shortfalls in the pandemic, and defended his new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who has come under heavy criticism for cost-cutting measures that have cast doubt upon the agency's ability to handle election mail on-schedule.

Democrats know that Joe Biden isn’t going to win so they want to muddy up the process and call Trump illegitimate

Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii have been voting 100% by mail for years with no problems. Trump knows he's going to lose and is just making excuses ahead of time.

I believe Mr Trump is correct.

However, I disagree with having USPS equipment removed to slow down the mail delivery service.

I hope Mr Trump isn’t as stupid as he looks?
Because he may have encouraged the removal of equipment to slow down mail delivery if he is in fact as stupid as he looks and acts. If so that is quite unfortunate.

this seems to be the only way the Democrats can come up with to steal the election. But just about everyday now you are hearing of mail in ballots being filled out by people that are not the ones mailed to. Harvesting like California has is the worse because Democrats pick up the ballots supposedly and deliver them. More people there are voting than is even in the districts. How can 125% of people vote in a district of only 100% people. And you wonder how Pelosi and those career ones keep winning????

Hyped up scare tactics.

Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Utah vote almost exclusively by mail and have for some time with no issues.

Look at the republican application for mail in voting that has Trumps name emblazoned on it... it clearly states that mail in voting is safe, and secure.

This is smoke and mirrors.
