Times: Trump's call to delay the presidential elections aims to deflect attention from America's job crisis

US stocks fell after the announcement of the largest US economic recession ever, and weekly jobless claims increased by 1.4 million, and in the meantime, President Donald Trump suggested postponing the elections.

This was reported in a  report by the British Times newspaper on Trump's tweets calling for the postponement of the presidential elections scheduled for next November, saying that these tweets aim to divert attention from the current suffocating employment crisis.

She pointed out that Trump has been sending weeks signals that he wants to postpone the vote, and has attacked the mailing vote 70 times since late March, and in two interviews he refused to say he would accept the election result.

The Times said that Trump's re-election campaign is facing a problem, as most polls showed that he - at least - is lagging behind Democratic candidate Joe Biden by 8 points, and she seems to be looking for ways to attract the attention of voters away from the high number of deaths due to the Corona pandemic, which reached in The United States 150 thousand.

She said that shortly after his postponement of the election delay, one of his strongest supporters, Hermann Keen, one of the country's most famous businessmen, was announced dead.

Trump also tweeted yesterday that postal voting has already proven catastrophic, claiming that Democrats themselves know that this vote is an easy way for foreign countries to enter the race, and more than that there is no accurate count.

And the Times quoted the election officials as saying that there is no evidence that foreign powers can flood the elections with calculated calculated papers.

The newspaper also reported that senior Republicans joined in the opposition to Trump's call, as Mitch McConnell, the majority leader in the Senate, said that there had never been in America's history, during wars, economic stagnation, and even civil war, that the federal elections were postponed from their scheduled date.

The newspaper confirmed that no presidential elections were postponed in America, and even Congressional elections were held during the spread of the Spanish flu pandemic in 2018.
