The President of the United States Donald trump decided on the unthinkable, justify the fears of its most implacable opponents and sworn enemies, spit on democracy and distorting the bright ideas of American democracy— suggested to postpone the election.”Universal postal voting (not voting outside the polling station, it’s a good one) in 2020 will be the MOST INACCURATE AND DECEPTIVE ballot in history. It will be a great shame for the United States. Maybe to postpone the election until the people can safely vote in the prescribed manner?” — wrote President in his Twitter account.Why he did that? There are two reasons. First, to the untrained observer the second part of the tweet much remarkable than the first, especially because of the media it is willing to circulate. Meanwhile, Donald trump even more than all the other Republicans do not get tired to criticize voting by mail, regularly “procodes” it on Twitter.Mr. trump and the Republicans believe that the massive voting by mail not only “gives rise to corruption” (although according to statistics, the chance of deception is only of 0.00006%), but also allows you to collect “groovelily harvest”: collect the ballots of tens and hundreds, for example, homes for the elderly where the elderly make it easy to vote (of course, for Democrats). Have that conviction and another aspect: in accordance with the Republican stereotypes of postal voting, which it is not necessary to waste time, helps to Express their opinion to the poor and the holders of the workhorse low-wage jobs, including racial minorities, traditional supporters of Democrats.The second reason is frankly deplorable situation with popularity, which plummeted during the crisis: economic, epidemiological, crisis management under the ongoing large-scale protests. And falling rating of the President among those who were for him in 2016, for example, affluent residents of the suburbs.Then Donald trump is also ready for anything: literally the day before he had cancelled introduced under his predecessor Barack Obama the rule of “fair economy”, which obliges authorities to take measures to “dilute” the rich suburban neighborhoods economy-housing, not to produce ghetto and poor areas. Formally, the rule was abolished in order to reduce the regulatory burden on local authorities, but on Twitter Donald trump was outspoken. And wrote: “Happy to say the people, leading a suburban life dreams: you no longer have to suffer and endure losses due to homes for the poor in your areas. The price of your home will rise, and the crime rate will drop”.Donald trump all bad, and he knows it, shuffling members of his campaign staff, undertaking direct political action, not covered by concern for the common��m good, and take drastic measures like postponement of the elections. Plan of action seems to be there, but a typical bluff could work: well, Mr. President, elections by mail, we will cancel, but let’s at least move them will not. And before you know it, we’ll find a way to rectify the rating.
