Trump is already threatening to sue post office because they’ll ‘maybe purpose-ly’ lose mail-in ballots

Former president is once again doing the groundwork to challenge the election results if he loses in November

Donald Trump has suggested that he may sue the post office because they’ll “maybe” lose mail-in ballots.

The former president appeared on Real America’s Voice on Monday night, once again dragging up his claims from both before and after the 2020 election that mail-in ballots are heavily affected by fraud, even though the voting method has been found to be safe and secure.

Trump claimed, “We have very bad elections. We have a bad voting system. We have mail-in ballots. You know it’s very interesting, I read the other day, the post office is saying how bad it is.”

“The post office is critiquing itself saying, ‘We’re really in bad shape, we can’t deliver the mail,’ and they’re not even talking about mail-in ballots,” he added. “‘We’re gonna dump millions and millions of ballots.’ And I’m saying to myself, ‘How can they be taking the vote?’”

. . . of MAGA mail carriers he imagines must be out there serving Democratic strongholds in swing states.

In an interview with some crazy podcaster that Tim Miller highlighted the other day DT talked about mail bags of ballots that would probably be disposed of. I don't think he specified whose ballots.

I thought mail in ballots were fake, the problem? They wanted to throw them out? Now we are scared they WILL BE thrown out? Maybe I am missing something.
