This is *Trump’s True Crimes – Episode 80: USPS Sabotage Before 2020 Election.*
The United States Postal Service has long been one of America’s most trusted institutions. But in 2020, Donald Trump turned it into a political weapon. Why? Because mail-in voting threatened his grip on power.
Trump spent months attacking mail-in ballots, falsely claiming they were fraudulent. At the same time, his administration was working behind the scenes to make mail voting harder. He installed a loyalist, Louis DeJoy, as Postmaster General — a man with no postal experience but deep Republican fundraising ties.
DeJoy immediately ordered sweeping changes: removing high-speed mail sorting machines, cutting overtime, and reducing post office hours. These moves slowed mail delivery across the country — just as millions of Americans were preparing to vote by mail during a pandemic.
The result? Mail piled up in warehouses. Medications and paychecks were delayed. And most critically, ballots were at risk of not being delivered on time to count.
Trump’s White House denied it was sabotage. But Trump himself let the truth slip. He openly admitted that if the Postal Service was fully funded, too many people would be able to vote — and in his own words, Republicans would never win.
It was an attack not just on the Postal Service, but on democracy itself.
