Separating Fact From Fiction On Trump And The Post Office - And Why It Matters
If this new perception of the Post Office is now mainstream, that it is a “subsidized government service” rather than a quasi-private entity expected to cover its costs, that’s a substantial shift and something we need to talk about.

A reality-based look at Trump and the post office
The news is filled with reports of President Trump's "assault" on the U.S. Postal Service. The president, Democrats and some in the media say, is deliberately slowing mail delivery and crippling the Postal Service so that it cannot handle an anticipated flood of voting by mail in the presidential election. Former President Barack Obama said Trump is trying to "actively kneecap" the Postal Service to suppress the vote. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called the House back into session this week and has set an "urgent hearing" for Aug. 24, demanding Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and the head of the Postal Service Board of Governors testify "to address the sabotage of the Postal Service."
