What did President Trump do to the post office that the bureaucracy that’s been losing money for decades has not done to itself?

Let's look at it logically:

1. When was the last time you actually wrote a letter to any of your relatives and they answered back? That is a lot of postage and mail that the post office no longer delivers because we communicate via text, email, and facetime.

2. Are there many people left who still write a check to pay bills that requires sending by mail and purchasing a stamp?

3. How many people choose to have packages sent by USPS when FedEx and UPS are so much faster?

4. Why pay the post office when you can have the packages delivered and returned to Amazon or other retailer for free?

5. Are Democrats that dense and cannot see that the postal service has to reduce drop off boxes and remove them from places where nobody places letters inside anymore and the boxes are always empty? Don't they realize that those USPS truck use up a lot of gasoline and spew a lot of pollution into the air? Why not remove 15,000 unused mail boxes?

6. The post office always allocates its yearly funding first to the pension fund, years in advance.

7. I guess, it is more politically convenient and expedient to blame President Trump for the changing times and the changing financial fortunes of the post office.

8. No, Nancy Pelosi, we do not need your Democrats cheating through mail in voting. You can put your masks on and go vote in person. You don't seem too worried about thousands of your protesting black shirts who may or may not wear masks but they sure are well armed.

9. Due to the Democrat lockdown that has destroyed so many mom and pop and other mid-sized businesses, we no longer receive any volume of advertising, coupons, or catalogs through the mail. J.C. Penney and Sears are gone and so are their voluminous catalogs. We grew up with those and we used them to order everything from rakes to Christmas ornaments and they all arrived with the post office truck. Very few catalogs arrive through the mail anymore. People order online. Businesses adapted and streamlined. Some no longer have catalogs at all.
