'Facing backlash over efforts to curtail postal operations when the demand for mail-in ballots has grown, President Trump tries to rewrite history,' MaeveReston writes. | Analysis
President Donald Trump sought to reframe the fall election two days before the Democratic National Convention, arguing on Saturday that key economic and pandemic indicators were moving in his favor, while attempting to shift blame for US Postal Service funding problems to Democrats and refusing to acknowledge his administration's efforts to undermine the agency three months before Election Day.
The President's finger-pointing and misinformation about the upheaval within the USPS was his latest attempt to rewrite history in real time into a version that better suits his reelection narrative. He's long done the same with the economy. Glossing over the fact that the US economy contracted at a 32.
