What’s the play with the suspend the election deal

I’m not following why Trump would tweet that. I agree it’s a calculated play so there’s something behind it.
My only theory is Biden is about to be indicted and Trump knows the liberals will go crazy when that happens and ask for time to select a new candidate. They won’t be able to ask for him to move the election back now. But man that’s a stretch of a theory on my part so I can’t see why he would tweet it.

Yea man. That’s pretty much it

It’s just a troll, because Trump enjoys it.

Biden is never going to be indicted, so that's not it.
Maybe to distract from bad economic numbers?

Its an "alternative" for the ones crying about the virus making it too dangerous to vote in person. A way to shite on the mail in voting BS they're trying so hard to put in play.

I think some indictments are coming related to shady "coup" attempts. As to who, what, and how high profile remains to be seen.

Overthinking it, OP. It was a distraction tactic away from the GDP news and stir up the left.
He knows if mail-in voting happened he would lose since the left would cheat. That is the ONLY real reason it is ever brought up.

It's because GDP fell 9%, there's depression level unemployment and we've been averaging over a thousand deaths from the virus a day. His campaign pulled ads in Michigan and he's shitting himself.

Trump was just pointing out a very valid argument about the delays involved if we had heavy mail-in voting. Whichever side lost would challenge the election results in court, taking months, maybe years, to resolve. Imagine having to confirm the legitimacy of mail-in ballots. He would and he should.
The other option is to stay with traditional in-person voting, avoiding a delay, which Trump says he wants. But for that to happen the msm and dim party would need to back off the CV19 fear porn.

He’s trying to stop the scare tactics.
You can’t say every day life is too dangerous but let’s hold elections. Biden is trying to hide behind the virus.

IMO, it's one of three things:
1) Troll
2) Manipulate the media, AGAIN
3) Misdirect the public because there is something happening, or about to happen, that they want buried

Those are just the ones not lost in the mail. Those losses would amount to 3% or so, or nearly 4 million ballots.
It's because GDP fell 9% . . .
Meanwhile, counting mailed in votes would extend for at least a month.
Confidence in the democracy, given that kind of fiasco, would be nil.

To get the media to talk about it and why Trump “wants” to delay the election... Any person with common sense knows that mail in voting will be riddled with issues and fraud, but most American’s don’t even know that its what may happen.
He’s now got the topic on every news station and the average American is hearing about it for the first time and thinking “ummm, yeah, no... frick mail in”
It was pretty genius.
Now 75% of his other tweets, asinine.

It was a "Hey y'all, wanna see something really funny? Watch this." sort of thing.

Has more to do with China and the lefts willingness to appease them than it has anything to do with Trump.

I don't know maybe because he's a blithering idiot but apparently this board keeps trying to deny this fact.

What are the odds we hear a replacement for Pence being floated at some point in the next month?

1) If there’s a lot of mail in voting then the election RESULTS will be delayed. They need to make a law that mail in bites have to be received, counted and VERIFIED aa valid by Election Day.
2) He is just screwing with them to bring attention to the issues with it and to get mainstream America thinking about it because MSM won’t even mention it.
