To privatize the USPS. If Trump wants to truly let the USPS do what it needs to do to make money, then yes I'll agree with him. But none of what the USPS has proposed involves raising prices on Amazon which seemed to be his solution in his tweet. USPS needs to get non-insane terms for their pension and medical obligations, reduce routes and post offices, and maybe eliminate some Saturday deliveries for some routes (something I believe Trump has championed). Congress is the final call in all this so they are in charge of the USPS. Nothing will change until they allow it to change.
