"President Donald Trump really hates the Post Office, it appears. The long lines, the snooty clerks, and the awful smelling buildings. All I can think is "yuck." However, he seems to hate Amazon more for using the only postal delivery system in the United States.
This past Friday, Trump sent off the old year with a series of Twitter tirades that indicted retail e-commerce giant Amazon for taking advantage of lower shipping rates through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). He alleged that, due to the low shipping rates that firms like Amazon receive, USPS is in dire straits financially and that rates should be increased to remedy the loss.
“Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office dumber and poorer[?]” Trump tweeted. “Should be charging MUCH MORE!”
Is It True?
The only upside to Trump's remarks, however, is that they are only half true."
