MRW Trump is tweeting about the U.S. Postal Service losing money on Amazon deliveries despite reportedly being told “in multiple meetings that his perception is inaccurate and that the post office actually makes a ton of money from Amazon."
Lefthandofgod
Trump literally lives on a separate timeline (of his imagination) from our own which sometimes coalesces with ours, but not often.
FinneganBojangles
It's because he's trying to get at Bezos.
todayok
You mean Trump is jealous of an actual, proven, billionaire? Naaaaaaaa. No way.

Alistairetheblu
Goosfraba....also it's about halfway over...right? (although I doubt his tweets as a former president will be any better)
casbott
Rumour that the Washington Post is about to drop a bombshell on Trump. Bezos owns the WP, therefore QED.
Brocktooon
If it was on Fox and he hears it between Big Mac farts, it's tweetin' time.
orionrh
The way this Presidency is going it's gonna get to the point where Trump is against everything. Trump supporters be like, boycott the Earth!
rando84
He also has a knack for insulting, belittling & firing anyone actually willing to work for him.

Amazon is the main reason postal carriers are still in business. Anyone who was alive in the early 2010s should be able to tell you that.
Nalianna
Trump supporters aren't real "facts" people though.
myselfasme
Jeff Benzos owns both amazon and the Washington post. Asshole is attacking Benzos for his newspaper’s covererage by going after amazon.

Common move for gaslighting sociopaths, to go sideways, cowardly, at a perceived foe.

Now we just need to find someone to run against him, that people will actually vote for.

But he's going to prison

Maybe we can put Hillary and Obama in prison instead.

I wonder how he's going to run for president from prison? It will make it awfully tough to campaign.

Implying he'll win a 2nd term?
DrKriegersClone
Sadly,I think he probably will.
Alistairetheblu
idk, he's got a lot of former supporters, people disillusioned with how him being president has turned out, also a big part of why he won 1/
Alistairetheblu
was that election turnout was one of the lowest in a long time. That won't happen again and the increase will be mostly ppl wanting him out.
Alistairetheblu
It's going to be a landslide about as embarrassing as his tweets.

Should the guy who doesn't show his taxes go around and say who he thinks doesn't pay enough taxes.

The other option really wasn't that much better, and if you are going to try and argue that she was you really need to do more research.

The other option was Bernie, but that option got fucked over.

Barely better than "egotistical bigot loaded to the gills with fraud charges, con games, lies, Russian mob connections, and zero knowledge."

Ah, yes, the competent administrator who'd come out of multiple exhaustive witch-hunts with the damning "could have been more careful."

The irony is that I did. Or do you mean I need to don my tinfoil hat and "research" conspiracy theories in LizardPeopleDotCom?

the "but her emails" is only a small percentage on why people hated her, Trump is an idiot but Hillary was equally worse and corrupt

The idea is that when he moves to privatizes the USPS, the idiots will support it.
invaderkong
It's more he's salty about Bezos owning the the Washington Post.
notaballoon
The USPS is, unlike other government services, not actually a "service" but essentially a government owned business.
notaballoon
The reason it'll likely never be privatized is because it's self funding. Whereas HUD or others can be "starved" of tax revenue, it can't be
LosPer
It's barely a service, and is definitely a money losing business...
Zatiebars
Due to having to pre fund retirement 100%
LosPer
It's a disaster. The Post Office has been left with 1950's processes and tech so it can function as a jobs and pension factory.

They use computers and scanners to automatically sort mail and have for over 15 years now. You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Did to pension obligations. But since it was once a government agency, it can't do anything right!

And really the big reason why they are not making money is due to being required by law to pre-fund all employee pensions.

No, he made it sound like they're suffering major losses. 800 million loss in 2017. Not major...
Chaimgoldbergenstein
Almost a billion dollars is major. Maybe not "Wall Street losing trillions in a day" major, but still major.

And he is blaming the loses on Amazon when they are actually helping keep them afloat

But they only lost money due to funding retirement plans at hire - something no one else has to do.

As a former worker in a shipping center, you underestimate how much business Amazon can employ during a Christmas rush.

I didn't underestimate anything. My comment was directed at how idiotic Trump is

That's why, as Mark Twain said, “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
