Taylor Swift has called out US President Donald Trump on social media yet again, this time for threatening to withhold funding from the US Postal Service ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.
According to reports, many experts and observers believe that Trump is purposefully withholding funding from the Postal Service in order to delay the expected surge of Mail-in ballots that will come in November.
Swift slams Trump
Earlier, the 30-yr-od pop icon took to social media following reports about Trump mulling over withholding billions in coronavirus aid from the US Postal Service. On August 15, Taylor Swift in a tweet urged Americans to request an early ballot.
The Lovers singer also slammed Trump administration over the COVID-19 crisis in the United States and said that the pandemic had worsened to a degree that the country has become the epicentre of the virus. She said that Trump was trying to take advantage of this pandemic and strip Americans of their right to vote.
Donald Trump’s ineffective leadership gravely worsened the crisis that we are in and he is now taking advantage of it to subvert and destroy our right to vote and vote safely. Request a ballot early. Vote early.

Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president. He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.

Swift has been vocal against the Trump administration and US President in the past; back in May, Swift had called out Trump for suggesting that violent action should be taken against the protesters in Minnesota. That tweet later went on to become the Swift’s most liked tweet and garnered over a million likes on the social media platform.
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump
