Taylor Swift slams Trump: 'Vote Early'
Swift has become much more politically outspoken since the last election cycle, often criticizing Trump
Taylor Swift is slamming US President Donald Trump over his handling of funding for the US Postal Service (USPS) ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Billboard reports.
The 30-year-old pop superstar criticized Donald Trump over reports that he is deliberately withholding billions of dollars in funding for the US Postal Service as part of a coronavirus relief package — in a series of tweets Saturday. Many claim Trump is purposely starving the postal service in an attempt to slow down an expected surge of mail-in ballots this November.
"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," Swift continued in another tweet. "Request a ballot early. Vote early."

Swift has become much more politically outspoken since the last election cycle, often criticizing Trump. Earlier this summer, she advocated for mail-in voting, saying, "We need to fight for mail-in voting for the 2020 election. No one should have to choose between their health and having their voice heard."
This isn't the first time Swift has spoken out against Trump. In late May, the singer slammed the president for tweeting that protesters in Minnesota should be shot. The post later become Swift's most-liked tweet ever, hitting more than 1 million likes in less than five hours.
Swift recently celebrated Democratic nominee Joe Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 election.
