Trump: Postal Service is 'dumber and poorer' for not charging Amazon more

Trump: Postal Service is ‘dumber and poorer’ for not charging Amazon more
By REBECCA MORIN 12/29/2017 09:09 AM EST

President Donald Trump on Friday called on the United States Postal Service to charge Amazon and others “much more” for shipping, adding that the government agency is becoming “dumber and poorer” by not doing so.

“Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office dumber and poorer? Should be charging MUCH MORE!” the president wrote on Twitter.

Jeff Bezos, who is the CEO of Amazon and also owns The Washington Post, has been a target of Trump in the past.
