Calling US Postal Service 'A Joke,' Trump Demands Four-Fold Price Hike for Customers Amid Covid-19 Pandemic

From the article:

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to withhold all future Covid-19 relief funding from the U.S. Postal Service unless the federal agency dramatically raises its shipping prices—a demand that critics say is ludicrous given the economic calamity the American people and the post office are now facing.

Key to responding to this nonsense is that the USPS is in a crisis because the GOP create the crisis in 2006. What we must do is contact our Senators and Representatives and demand that they take action to save the USPS.

1. Fourfold?

Other than major tools, like a Shrekli, has any every day service ever gone up 400% in one shot?
Another "thin air" moment from PINO.

[guillaumeb]

2. It is complete nonsense.

Trump loves to make things up. Most of us understand that.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Every Small Business That Ships...

...would blow a gasket. Shipping quadruples and either they pay for it, or customer buy less because shipping is so high.
He is a clueless drone.

[guillaumeb]

9. Of course.

Millions receive medicine by mail. That cost would also increase. And amay are seniors who support Trump.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. Ooops!

Who would have thought he'd say something stupid with no prior thought?
Well, aside from the 70% who've figured it out.

3. He wants them to charge more than UPS & Fedex so nobody will use USPS.

Virtually everything he says about the USPS is designed to put them out of business.

[guillaumeb]

6. The USPS makes money on what is called "last mile deliveries"

from UPS, Fed-Ex, and Amazon.

Trump has no idea what he is talking about.

Again.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Then He'd Have Those 3 Big Companies Mad

Good idea, Donnie-boy! Keep it up. Forget anything else I said! Great idea, PINO!

[tanyev]

4. Joke's on him. A lot of people just stocked up on Forever stamps.

I’ve got about a year’s supply now.

[JohnnyRingo]

5. Because the USPS can't donate to his campaign.

There are others however. This is a warning shot across the bow of UPS, FedEx, and DHL that bailouts come at the president's pleasure.

[guillaumeb]

8. And if the USPS is killed,

Amazon will benefit. Trump's actions would help Jeff Bezos.

[handmade34]

12. The USPS

is a National Treasure and must be saved... I hope it can hold out until President Biden has the opportunity to help

[guillaumeb]

13. We can all contact our Members of Congress.

And demand action in the form of an immediate bail out, not a loan.

[Blue Owl]

14. Mr. Bleach Drinker thinks he can label something else a joke?

Oh, that's rich...

[guillaumeb]

15. What type of lunatic would suggest injecting bleach?

And in what sane world would this not be immediate grounds for invoking the 25th amendment?
