This is a very different issue here, which he can't get his head around.

You have a president who has appointed a lackey into a position in order to purposely nerf the collection of mail in ballots (which has been publicly stated by the USPS), along with attempting to institute a number of major changes to shrink the postal service months before an election in order to ensure a complete disaster to the voting process.

To compare the slow decline of the USPS over the last decade based on lack of mail volume, in relation to what the Trump and his Postmaster General are attempting to do before an election is pure idiocy.

Trump didn't appoint Dejoy. The USPS did.
The USPS has been hemorrhaging billions of dollars per year, so yes, changes are in order. And even still, they've remarked that they wouldn't have any issue with capacity during an election.
Any issues they'd have would be through state regulations.

The equipment removed/replaced is part of routine maintenance. But has since been halted to quiet the mob of brainwashed morons who believe everything they see on Twitter without any subjective thought, so long as it verifies their position that orange man bad.

The Democrats TDS is on full display here with this conspiracy theory.
