Trumps Advisers Have Tried to Teach Him How the Post Office Works but He Wont Believe It

[RandySF]

After too many tweets, Trump’s advisers realized that he didn’t understand how the U.S. Postal Service worked, so they decided to teach him. Former economic adviser Gary Cohn made a PowerPoint. Staff members showed him financial data that showed that Amazon was paying its fair share in taxes. Other staff members tried to explain to him that the USPS is not funded by taxpayers. He even received briefs explaining that people were simply sending fewer letters.

“It’s not the narrative he wants,” one person told the Journal. “He clearly didn’t find it persuasive because he keeps saying it’s untrue.”

Trump insists to White House employees that something needs to be done about Amazon, especially given its upcoming $10 billion Pentagon bid, but—despite all the available information given to him—he can’t explain what he wants to do.

He derisively tweeted that Amazon is using the post office as “their delivery boy,” forgetting that the reason the USPS exists is to be a delivery boy. Trump won’t accept the data and numbers, either, because he hasn’t read them or he doesn’t understand what he’s read.

Because he is dumb.

That’s right. The man running our country couldn’t even get a job at the post office.

He just likes to spew things that sound things he thinks are impressive and the bluster will sound "presidential."

19. I'm sorry...but there are just times...

...when I shut my eyes and wonder if I've died and gone to Hell--if we've all died and gone to hell. I look at the title of this thread: "Trump's advisors have tried to teach him how the Post Office works but he won't believe it"--and I just have to stop for a moment. The President of the United States. There have been some dumb MFers as President. If you rolled them all into one, they wouldn't approach the stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance of our current "President".
