USPS is fine except for enormous pension overhang.

This president is the only one that have the balls to fixes things, and all he receives are criticism!!!

Trump Phony News & Bullshit - 1. 3 of the 5 PRC members were appointed by Trump 2. Post Office cash flow has been improving 3. Amazon share of USPS deliveries declining since 2017

POTUS I have the USPS fix!!! Most mail today is Junk..., Cut home delivery to 3x/week. MWF for half the city; TThSat other half!! HUGE Savings! Cuts FUEL & FLEET expense by 50%!!! Let labor shrink naturally!

It’s all the above issues . Amazon , UPS are contracted and it does favor those two quite a bit . But the current and retired personnel is the biggest issue . Pensions to 600,000 with 500,000 current workers getting excellent benefits is the biggest reason .

The King of blaming others. He went bankrupt 4 times. I wonder who blamed for that. The purveyors who never got their money.

Will he blame medicine companies for the struggles of the undertaker industry?

WOW. Whats in this dude’s brain?

Trump is mostly correct in this regard. Price increases to the internet companies an absolute must!

BENEDICT DONALD....

I wish amazon speeds up their progress to get amazon freight going. USPS will go bankrupt

Nope postal service is being killed by the generous benefits being paid this prez is so wrong!

He blames china, who, and now even US companies. He blames everyone instead of taking responsibility, realDonaldTrump is a total a**hole

You got to be kidding?

Why not privatize?

That's like the Greyhound bus company blaming the airlines.

amazon 🖕🏿realDonaldTrump

Bullshit

shut it down

Amazon probably saved the USPS

He didn’t actually say that. But hey just spin it how ya want. He was being accused of its demise , he just pointed out the truth-something the left wing media hates.

Trump Blames (fill in the blank)

A study by the Institute for Policy Studies found that 70 million more Americans would have to pay hefty surcharges for deliveries without the USPS. The impact could also raise prices of the goods being shipped.

What is wrong with him.... Free trade, open competition, the best win... Remember

The “Blame Game” ... how to divert attention from your own failures!
