Even taken at face value this theory is ridiculous. Targeting heavily Democratic areas would make sense for messing with the Census, but not for winning an election. Trump is not going to carry California even if you blew up every mailbox in Los Angeles. People are getting jumpy.

Tl;dr even across the board cuts to the postal service are going to disproportionately target Democratic voters, since cities lean Democratic. You don't need to go full Pepe Silvia around the observation that postal facilities exist in major population centers.

It would not help Trump to reduce turnout in blue states. He would still probably lose them. He would need to reduce turnout/mail-in ballots in swing states.

Yeah, but are they among the largest mail sorting facilities? That's the relevant question here.
