There's no good faith argument for slowing down the mail and gutting USPS' senior leadership in the middle of a pandemic and an election year.
Trump doesn't oppose vote by mail. He's voting that way from his fraudulent voting address. And encouraging other Republicans to do so.

USPS' economic and social value are undeniable and the only reason it isn't "profitable" is because Republicans created impossible pre-funding of pensions for 75 YEARS specifically to create the talking point that it isn't profitable.
This is a deliberate attempt to scare possible Democratic voters from voting by mail and to literally burn up their ballots by slowing down their delivery.
And if that doesn't work it's just a pretext for Trump and Barr to contest the election when that's not even a thing.

This is why you can't underestimate Trump.
He has plain-brand Republicans defending his assault on the post office because they hate the post office, too.
But this an obvious attempt to steal an election where he knows stealing is his best option.

And Trump didn't invent that.
