I wish people would make up their goddamn minds.

It IS sort of confusing, until you factor in how Trump operates. He's not a politician, and so not bound by political rules of political decorum. He did not say that the elections WILL be postponed, he didn't even say he WANTED them postponed - he just made a general observation using his opposition's own talking points against them. Basically, he's trolling them, blowing smoke up their asses just to watch them scream and rattle their cages like monkeys in a zoo.
It's not funny, but it IS funny that they take the bait and react as expected every damned time he does that!
EVERY. DAMNED. TIME!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
