Trump Signals Compromise on Postal Service and Vote-by-Mail

Trump signals openness to compromise on USPS funding

President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he would be open to approving additional funding for the U.S. Postal Service if congressional Democrats agree to his legislative agenda on combating the coronavirus pandemic and its accompanying economic crisis.

During a White House news briefing, Fox News' John Roberts asked Trump whether he would accept an additional $25 billion for the Postal Service and over $3 billion that could be used for mailing ballots if Congress were to approve his administration's coronavirus relief proposals.

Trump responded: "Sure, if they give us what we want."

The figures Roberts cited came from House Democrats' opening offer for coronavirus relief, legislation passed in May which stalled in the Republican-held Senate. The bill — dubbed the HEROES Act — included $3.6 billion for "election resilience grants," which could be used for mailing ballots and registration forms to voters.

I imagine what he wants is something worse.

"No, I won't buy that lawn chair from you for $50."

(Points a gun at his son.)

"Put that gun away!"

"Alright, alright, how about a compromise? You pay the $50 and I'll put the gun away. I live for making deals!"

That's not a compromise.  There is no compromise.  Nobody should compromise with him.

If he wants to continue committing political suicide by dismantling the postal service, make sure everyone and their mother damn well knows about it and make this the #1 news story for weeks on end until he relents upon seeing his poll numbers tank.  I want every Congressional Republican grilled on this subject.  I want ads across the country.

"Wanna-be dictator says he might not sabotage elections if given what he wants."

The only response from Democratic leadership should be, "The United States of America does not negotiate with terrorists".

What even are "his administration's coronavirus relief proposals"?
