Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is notably no fan of President Trump and on Thursday he took another shot at him over apparent threats to withhold money from the U.S. Postal Service.
Referencing a $3.6 billion figure congressional Democrats have set aside explicitly for mail-in voting, Trump said on Fox Business’ “Morning with Maria" that Democrats "want $3.5 billion for something that'll turn out to be fraudulent — that's election money basically."

"They want $25 billion for the post office. Now, they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said Thursday.
“But if they don't get those two items, that means you can't have universal mail-in voting because they're not equipped to have it," he added.
Because of the failed deal and the expected influx of mail-in voting, which Trump has adamantly been against, Kerr accused the president of interfering in his own presidential election.
