He stripped their funding, he put a confidante on the postmaster general post (that did not refute to scrap machines and whatnot), and then he publicly said that well, they do not have funding now, guess we can't do mail-in voting. How much more specific does it need to get?

I don't know. Maybe they whine. Maybe some would go further, if Trump tells them to do so, that they were betrayed by dark, unamerican forces and it's about defending the homeland. I expect this to happen, but I don't know. I know it's dangerous.

Yeah, for he got unexpected pushback.

Words. 

Yeah, some are "words", that doesn't mean the things he says are irrelevant. Words have power. Eg. when he says there are millions of illegal votes collected by the evil deep state Dems and people get worked up because they believe it, those words are not harmless. And if someone then does something in the name of what Trump says, that would be on Trump.

This leaves me baffled. Burr is Trump's guy, his nominee, his AG buddy. Of course what Barr does falls back on Trump, don't act like these two men have nothing to do with each other.
I mean, I could say "he nominates people like Barr that then happen to do his bidding in a blatantly irresponsible manner" so it directly addresses Trump.
