Donald Trump admitted that additional coronavirus relief funding negotiations are currently put on hold on Capitol Hill partly because Democrats plan to dole out billions of dollars to U.S. Postal Service in a bid to facilitate its mail-in voting efforts. Noting that if they do not come up with a deal, the president noted that Democrats will not qualify for getting the money, meaning, their plan to have universal mail-in voting will not come to fruition.

In other words, Trump isn't willing to provide the coronavirus relief funding to Democrats because they want to support the USPS (U.S. Postal Service) and mail-in voting, which the president claims will lead to voters fraud. In an interview on Fox Business on Thursday, he pointed out that Democrats need the money to ensure that the Post Office works, and takes millions of ballots.

The president went on to explain that if Democrats do not get those two items, their plan to have universal mail-in voting will fail. Moreover, Trump said if they do not end up making a deal, Democrats will not get the money and they can't have the universal mail-in voting, saying it is "sort of a crazy thing. Very interesting."

The president has been asked about what caused the disruption in communication between the Democrats and the White House on Capitol Hill. He has been hinting at a potential rigged and fraud 2020 election if a surge of mail-in ballots takes place. Election experts have accused Trump of pushing a baseless argument on vote-by-mail,  The New York Times reported.

The president's latest remark suggests he wants to quell expanded mail-in voting plans, as well as the Postal Service’s ability to facilitate it by refusing to agree to fund those plans. Democrats, on the other hand, have raised concerns about recently introduced changes by the postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, who is also a top donor to Republicans and various Pro-Trump committees, likely to harm the election's integrity.

Members of both parties have urged Deloy to reverse the recently introduced changes which have led to widespread mail delays, according to advocates of the mail workers. The president of the American Postal Workers Union Mark Dimondstein said in an interview with CNBC that they have been receiving complaints across the board about mail deliveries slowing down.

Anything that slows down the mail does not coincide with what American people deserve of want, Dimondstein added. The $3 trillion COVID-19 relief proposal of the Democrats includes a noteworthy $25 billion for the Post Office, which has already lost billions of dollars in the wake of the pandemic.
