After bashing Amazon deals, Trump orders investigation of U.S. Postal Service
The president issued an executive order after hours last night, aimed at evaluating the U.S. Postal Service. Citing the mail service’s “unsustainable financial path,” Trump’s order demands a “thorough” task force evaluation of the USPS’s finances and operations. The service has been a long time talking point for Trump, with Twitter attacks dating back to 2013, when he bemoaned a planned end of Saturday mail delivery. Of late, however, the Postal Service has seemingly been caught in the crossfire of his single-minded attack on Amazon. Back in December, Trump called the USPS out on Twitter once again, saying it was “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?” Of course, it’s worth noting that Amazon’s dealings with the USPS aren’t so straightforward.

Trump orders Postal Service review after blasting Amazon deal
After accusing Amazon for months of not paying its fair share of postage, President Trump has ordered a review of the US Postal Service’s finances via an executive order issued late Thursday night. The order calls for a task force to evaluate the operations and finances of the USPS. The order does not mention Amazon by name but it seems clear that Trump is trying to back his claim that the USPS is losing “many billions of dollars a year” due to the financial arrangement with its biggest shipper of packages, or about $1.50 for every Amazon package it delivers. Trump may very well be correct regarding the numbers, although his rage seems misplaced. Experts and even Trump’s own advisors have said that the enormous volume of packages shipped by Amazon have helped keep the Postal Service afloat. Rather, the long slow decline in junk and first-class mail are the reasons for the USPS’ mounting financial losses. Trump’s executive order acknowledges this. … [Read more...] about Trump orders Postal Service review after blasting Amazon deal
