President Trump posted a bombing tweet about the postponement of the presidential election on November 3.

Because of the vote in the mail, I was fortunate to postpone the election until people could vote safely, saying that this election would be the most erroneous election in history.

Although he showed an attitude of public opinion using questionable sentences, a big ripple is happening because the current president directly discussed the possibility of acting as president.

In a recent interview with Fox News, President Trump also said that he should see whether to win the presidential election.

So, is it possible that the president can actually postpone the election? 

<Reporter> I

can't. The date for the election of the President of the United States is determined by Congress.

From 1845, we decided to hold the presidential election on Tuesday, the day after the first Monday of November, but this rule has never been changed.

Even during the Civil War did not change the date of the election.

The Democratic Party, which seized the House of Representatives, made it clear that it could not agree to postpone the election, and that the Republican Party could not delay the election.

In the end, an analysis is being made to say that it wasn't possible to make people's eyes look at the worst 2Q economic growth rate announced today.

worst growth rate in the United States in the second quarter is the worst in the world. 

<Reporter> The

US Department of Commerce announced that gross domestic product growth in the second quarter was minus 32.9%.

The growth rate in the first quarter was minus 5%, but the decline was much greater.

This decline was the worst since 1947 when statistics began to be compiled.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, it was close to four times the negative 8.4% during the global financial crisis.

The number of claims for unemployment benefits was also estimated at 1.43 million, an increase of 12,000 from the previous week.

As Corona 19 re-spreads, the number of unemployed is increasing.

The Corona 19 shockwaves received by the world economy were also huge, with Germany at minus 10.1% and Mexico at minus 17.3%.
