Trump said that the postal service needs to raise the price of a package, “approximately four times” because they are currently losing money delivering packages for Amazon “and other internet companies.” Trump said that the Postal Service is “very cozy with some of these companies” which is why, according to Trump, they wont raise the price on packages.
So now he’s okay with government forcing private industry to raise prices? What’s next? Trumps become a socialist taking over companies and handing out trillions of dollars. Wow! Republican Party has changed for sure.
Big companies are exploiting the good service and low price. But looks like most of the comments don't see the misuse by Big Companies of the perfect USPS. Not so stupid as most assume. Why must a big courier charge money to send it via USPS for less than they charge the client
If US Postal are not going to be funded ...TRUMP HOTELS should not get any as well!! Hotels are NOT ESSENTIAL!
He has no clue. Congress sets postal rates.
Half true. Devil says good job cnn
Raises prices on delivering packages from larger companies like amazon not people dont forget that part! But its our tax dollars required to keep shipping the packages so either way your point is the cost on american people will go up?
As a retired postal worker, I think the President is just trying to help them do what best is going to help them. That will put them into the competitive market of parcel delivery and not let Amazon run things.
USPS needs to run more efficiently..... are we having way too many mailboxes to serve nationwide?
Is that like a bribe ?
pdt353 Such BS.
Very smart. U.S. postal service is a disaster.
Change the Narrative and win the game. Stop reporting on him all together except press conferences and suggest people follow him here. Let the people decide for themselves if he is honest and trustworthy. Maybe you will gain a bigger audience?
Trump Lysol Beer
How many of you( US a Postal employees ) voted and supported this moron
THAT'S RIGHT LET'S JACK UP THE RATES 4/5 TIMES WHAT IT WAS AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, DELIBERATELY ENDED THE USPS. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DO A HEAD CHECK ON HIM BECAUSE HE IS DOING AND SAYING SOME BIZARRE THINGS. I THINK NO MAR A LARGO/GOLF IS GETTING TO HIM
I’d pay a Dollar per stamp! 🇺🇸 📬 🤗
Fake News!
If anybody needs and deserves a raise other than the healthcare professionals and retail workers including food service, it's the USPS. Rain, shine, sleet, or snow, they're in it.
Dont try this at home
Bio
Did somebody tell him Obama created the postal service?
Jesus Christ, he won't bail out a necessary government agency, but he bails out oil companies!? 🤯
It's not like they can raise prices tomorrow. The mechanism relies on rate proposals being approved by a committee which has been slow to raise rates.
Foolishness
Trump is looking more and more like a dictator. Withholding funds to the USPS if they don’t increase postage to Amazon! He just withheld funds to a WHO because they said they warned him about coronavirus back in January! Trump is getting very scary!
CNN Hides
Trump and Republicans just want to privatize it, so they can own it.
He is trying to impose more taxes on the goods that's from the particular countries opposite him.
Sounds pretty reasonable
This Man interferes with everything, he is the expert and The poiologyst to cocid 19 . Postal seveses are supject to University postal Union convention and it's Acts . Their are also the prices of the competitors . He believes only in money.
Give a dollar her and take it back of there
Fake news.. he did not say this.. he said he wanted USPS to charge Amazon more for delivery rather than pass the expense on to the consumers.. please watch the press conference.
Why is it that this POTUS can't see it's the US consumers that get hurt with this type of thinking (China tatiffs) and now increased postal rates.
Talking about Amazon packages.
Did anyone tell him that Amazon doesn't really need the USPS
It's not gonna depreciate Jeff Besos wealth one bit.
Care packages wld be great. We cld share books, cookies, pics...send Get Well cards (remember cards?) to covid victims' families, hospital staff, firefighters, medics, police, supermarkets' staff, our mechanics, maintenance workers, cust svc depts, heck, even Post Offices.
Wouldn't now be the perfect time to start a national letter writing campaign? Write out letters to friends n relatives the way we used to?

He wants to sell post office to his rich friends to break apart and profit
Why? When millions don't have an income how does raising prices in mail do anything to help anyone,m
Just blame China，we will win very soon
Boy... does 45 really hate Amazon(owner) or what! 45 has talked about this before and he's been waiting for this moment. Boom 🤨
realDonaldTrump tax JeffBezos 33% ~ he paid “0” taxes last two years! WTF is that about?! Subsidize the postman, not the playboy .. .you know like a real President would do. PS ~ show us your taxes fakepotus45
Well that should be a gift to the competition and hasten it’s demise.
Wants to stop mail in voting
Maybe it is because they don’t charge enough for delivery. If you are losing money on packages, push your rates up. Amazon makes so much money because they get awesome rates through USPS.
This is serious
This will take effect on work from home moms :(
Good. Especially Amazon
This is not right at a time like now!! Yes he has a business so hates that amazon is getting orders more now then ever. Does he forget it’s because we are trying to follow a stay at home order and not be a part of the problem. When this ends everyone will be waiting to run out
These are front line workers. He trashed them. The narrative might change but who can forget this.
CNNCCP
Well but Trump = Biden. That's the real story here.
Cause the govt is skimmin profit off the PO. the govt owes them money and wont pay them back... to a millionaire/billionaire: how much is enough? This is your heaven... Hell is your future. Matt: 19:24!✌🏽
CNN Fake News
Make HIM pay for the damn postage! ‼️😡
We have never seen the in our generation. Everyone is to spoiled. Suck it up.
YES! Junk mail should pay the same price as me!
Of course he won't fund the Postal service. You can't vote by mail without the Postal service.
Yea like Amazon.
Wtf

trumpisdumb y'all should vote that man out plzzzzzz! I'm hurting for USA. Before I was excited to come there but now I'm not. Europa here I come baby.

Mr.President is from Russia? I would like to say from China, but his looking is not Chinese. Do you think?
Do you think the postal service could deliver mail to the correct addresses? I get other people’s mail. I wonder who is getting mone? You’d think that at 50 cents a stamp carriers could read Names & addresses? It’s pitiful.
Only reason why Orange Douche wants to cut USPS funding is so mail ballots cant be used for November's election!!
This mf here.

Post office needs to charge Amazon for delivery there products as usual CNN is fake News...
Amazon. He means Amazon. He can’t stand the sight of the successful business he always dreamt he himself would someday create.
It is time to call in the Calvary, the Special Forces, The Green Beret, The Navy Seals, AND THE PONY EXPRESS to save the United Postal Service from Donald Trump!
Small business cannot get the deal Bezos got and they cannot compete with him. The shipping kills small business. Bezos thats free shipping.
porter_jude There’s always a vindictive motive. He’s been fighting to have the postal service increase rates on amazon. He’s so envious of Jeff Bezos. The postal service would be worse off if it weren’t for amazon’s business.
So over a vendetta he's willing to put thousands and thousands out of work..seems about right with this President 🤦🏾♀️🤬
トランプはなんて愚かなことでしょう！
Particularly those of amazon bc he is super jealous of Bezos
☹️
Can I predict the end of delivery？
All the people saying the USPS should pay for itself are the same people who will scream about a stamp going up 9 cents.
Why not charge for deliver and mailing? Twice a week or so is plenty for many And if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere then go fetch it or pay
Which of the presidents companies or business associate offers cheaper prices for packages of the size he's asking the USPS to increase their charges on? Am I too cynical?
A must watch interview!!!!! Dr Rashid Buttar Exposes Gates ,Fauci
So, I'm other words...us out of work citizens need an increase in cost for mail.
Evyrtime I read a tweet from CNN I have to check what other media report. CNN is unreliable.
Doesn’t know when to stop
Vote for this asshole than
I guess that I will have to send my message to trump via your Twitter feed, rather than the mail, then.. special delivery for mr.trump..🖕
Another quid pro quo. Sick of this blackmailing, extortionist, wannabe mafia boss. realDonaldTrump
tracyk726 ANOTHER DISTRACTION BY TRUMP AND HIS CRONIES TO RAID THE TREASURY!! TRUMP CANNOT FIGHT BEZOS BECAUSE HE USES THE POST OFFICE FOR HIS PACKAGES AND HE OWNS THE WASHINGTON POST!! GOOD LUCK!
This has nothing to do with the cost of mailing packages and everything to do with preparing for the possibility of mail in voting in November. His base is as close to illiterate as one can imagine.
Fake news
He’s trying to make the post office go under so we can’t vote by mail in November.
FAKE + NEWS = CNN
And the people will pay for it
Let that federal service compete. If it can’t, that means private companies are better. I know Consitutionally it’s granted. But I’d be for updating that. But yeah, if you want it to survive, you have to raise prices.
I fixed your headline for you: 'President Trump says he won't sign for more funding for the US Postal Service unless it raises the price for delivering AMAZON'S packages.' WHY CAN'T YOU REPORT THE TRUTH? THIS IS WHY YOU SUCK AT NEWS!
The Trump MAGA Longest govt shutdown 50K Pandemic deaths USPS fund Tax relief for the rich Etc.
GOD bless America 🇺🇸, more years for realDonaldTrump
He said 'quadruple' unless he was misquoted. If the quote is accurate - use it.
His way of carrying out his personal vendetta against Jeff Bezos. He is the POTUS. This is not OK !!!
The post office doesn’t handle Amazon packages in my area and I suspect in most areas.
CNN I HEAR SESAME STREET ALWAYS HAD BETTER RATINGS SO IF YOU CANT BEAT EM JOIN THEM LMFAO
Little donnie hates amazon
TrumpGenocide HuffPost reuters maddow realDonaldTrump is a moron! The PO is already more expensive than the competition! If they raise their package rates anymore they'll lose business!
USPS run by board of governors who decide the rates NOT THE PRESIDENT. I guess you can add USPS to the list of entities he has a hard on.
A loss for words...
It’s just normal business . Amazone announces free delivery, and the post office delivers it to you at a lost. Who makes money here? Amazone with billions in profit... At the end of the year the APO ask for a bailout. Who pays here ? You the people..... Who makes $ Amazone
The Post Office will soon be out of business
Especially CNN and MSNBC!!!
This is the realDonaldTrump's vengeance on JeffBezos for the washingtonpost not liking him. JeffBezos stop making little girls cry!
How many companies did he bankrupt? Not sure he is the person to be giving business advice.
Ever notice whenever government shuts down USPS is open and delivering. That’s because USPS doesn’t receive one penny of taxes nor do they charge tax for their services. They deliver to EVERY city town community in USA 6 days a week others don’t.
Will that make it less competitive for his buddies at FedEx and UPS?
If you can't stop Congress from making mail-in-voting possible, just stop the company delivering mail
So it's either he puts them out of business or they price themselves out of business. VOTE BLUE !
quid pro quo in a sarcastic way.
realDonaldTrump This doesn’t make any sense. USPS is government service, many ppl won’t be able to afford to ship packages if you do this
But gas is less than $1?
it has already steadily raised prices, raising them more will severely hurt small businesses, causing compounding, undue economic stress...but glad the cruise ship industry is in good shape...
USPS has raised prices, repeatedly over the last couple years. Their profit doesn’t come from parcels, they only make money off of stamps. Sooo who would actually be benefiting with yet another parcel price bump?
‘Some packages’ is a code word for Amazon! realDonaldTrump is a whiner! Lead!!!
Easy to figure this one out! Cuz he does not want mail in ballots so he can cheat AGAIN!!!!
So in other words, he wants small business to suffer even more as the price of doing business will go up across the board 👍 Got it!
He said 'some' packages.. Which ones exactly?
Trump wants to put the Poatal service out of buisness. You raise too high and Fedex and UPS and other corier companies will swoop in and take it all away.
His hate for Amazon is priceless. He’s an ass
I can’t stand Trump but I back this. Residential mail needs to be 4-5 days per week and it should cost more. We’re in the end game of mass letter mailing. Don’t keep throwing money in a hole.
Raises prices for AMAZON, you mean... TOTALLY not telling them to try and punish a company ran by a who hurt his feewings.
He just wants them to raise prices on Amazon
Knowing his MO, it’ll be the packages containing PPE and tests...
Awwww, Trump really cares about HIS OWN workers at the USPS, saying “they are horrible” 😳
create a stamp with his big orange face on it, then you'll get funding lol
I’ve never understood how the postal service folk don’t understand economics
Trump attack on Amazon.
I don’t believe the post office delivers amazon packages anymore, correct? Or did they start that back up again?
I wonder which packages. Not really, we all know what this is about. Another agency under the incompetence of Trump. Will the country make it to January? (and I'm not talking about the virus).
Translated: Charge more for Amazon deliveries, because the founder of Amazon also owns a newspaper critical to the administration.
So raise the prices and lower them after he signs the bill. I seriously think Trump is trying to install a cronie in the USPS so he can disrupt mail in voting.
Maybe he is playing hardball hoping they will dig up dirt on a political opponent. As the saying goes, lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Trump wants to raise prices 400% on small biz owners who sell online and ship products.... Bad enough we are going through a pandemic and our B&M stores are shuttered, but now he wants to kill all our income. voteBiden2020 because we can't survive Trump's ignorance.
Jeez this guy is so stupid! And a business man! Its all about being competitive, the best service at the best price. Even a stable genius should know this
Dont fotget the real problem now USA.
