It's like the best baseball player in the world signing a contract for $25,000 dollars a year. They'd be profiting $25,000. But they lost a ton of money signing the deal, because they could have gotten $25,000,000 a year.
The key principle is that the value of that 1 dollar exists. And Amazon, the giant company that prints money is getting it, and the Postal Service which loses tons of money doesn't.
Don't let the semantics distract from the more important point.
No no no no, if you are going to claim 45 is making this argument, even if I agreed with you, which I don't, it is still FUCKING LIP SERVICE.
We've done deregulation, union busting and "don't tax the rich" since Reagan, now, which party does the Orange fuckface belong to?
If you want a Republican who actually cared, Teddy would have fit that bill.
45 only gives a shit about himself, nobody else.
Brian, you've got to dump your partisan bullshit. There are tariffs in place. The Republican establishment HATES tariffs. Also, the Democrat establishment HATES tariffs, just more quietly. Because Billionaires HATE tariffs, and both parties are owned by the billionaires.
All the people that you oppose, oppose what Trump is doing. Maybe if the 62 billionaires who control all the worlds wealth don't like it, there may be something positive to it?

It was my impression First Class Mail was the big money loser and the collectibles and parcels were profitable.
What's ridiculous about this whole thing is that if the post office were losing money, it would be their own damn fault. Amazon haven't found some weird loophole that lets them send packages for low prices, they signed a contract with the post office for discounted mail rates.
You're right. That's all it is. And I think all Trump is saying is "That's a shit deal. They should renegotiate."
And I think we probably all agree he's right.
