WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Funding for the U.S. Postal Service and to shore up election infrastructure is the main sticking point in talks between the White House and top congressional Democrats over a fresh round of coronavirus relief, President Donald Trump said on Thursday.

Trump said his negotiators have resisted Democrats' calls for additional money to help U.S. election officials prepare for a presidential contest during a pandemic that has killed more than 165,000 Americans and presented severe logistical challenges to organizing large events like the Nov. 3 election.

"The items are the post office and the $3.5 billion for mail-in voting," Trump told Fox Business Network, saying Democrats want to give the post office $25 billion. "If we don't make the deal, that means they can't have the money, that means they can't have universal mail-in voting. It just can't happen."

Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that mail-in voting, a way to allow citizens to take part in the election without creating crowding that raises the risk of transmitting COVID-19, is likely to be rife with fraud. Experts who study elections say there is little proof that this is the case.

The White House negotiating team of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has not met with House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in six days.

When the two sides last met Friday, they were some $2 trillion apart in their negotiating positions. A Reuters/Ipsos poll this week showed that Americans blame both parties for the standoff, which has led to the expiration of a $600 per week lifeline to unemployed people.

New Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who has donated $2.7 million to Trump and his fellow Republicans since 2017, has ordered operational changes and a clampdown on overtime in a bid to fix the financially troubled Postal Service, which reported a net loss of $2.2 billion in the last quarter.

i got a lot of folks to back me up including anyone with half a brain that is not a trump cultist. i know trump cares about no one but himself. holding back needed help to dem states? what he is doing with the post office is illegal i am sure. but jj you are just the kinda guy that could care less that trump stole charity money from vets and children with cancer. or mocks disadvantaged reporters or war hero's who wer pow's. of trashing five star families whose son saved his whole squad from certain death. or continuing to put kids in cages and taking them from their families. and yes i know obama did some of that but he did not remove children from their parents. hell he is afraid of pootin and would not stand up for our kids when the bounty was put out...........that also caused some troops to die. i can go on and on and the fact you are ok with trump makes you just as bad in my eyes because you and others have enabled him. so my point is because of what i just said i put little credence in what you say. you are welcome to address me anytime but you waste your time.

We live in a time where those in leadership roles say things like:

1) Inject disinfectant to cure viruses

2) OverPopulation will cause an island to capsize

3 A quote from the DoI is “created by ya know that thing“

4) Reducing Cow farts helps global warming

The circus is still popular and they don’t even need large tents and lions anymore in 2020.
