Trump Calls Out the Postal Service for Losing Billions and Gives Them a Brand New Business Plan

The U.S. Postal Service just drew the ire of President Donald Trump.
The Postal Service, according to its own evaluation, lost $5.6 billion in 2016, and for President Trump, a businessman, that was completely unacceptable.
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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017
As any manager would, Trump has been examining the Postal Service's situation and looking for ways to bring in more money. He found that Amazon is benefitting from the Postal Service's low rates and paying little to have its packages delivered.
Trump's solution is simple. The Postal Service “should be charging MUCH MORE!”
David Vernon, an industry researcher, has studied the relationship between Amazon and the Postal Service and determined that in 2014, Amazon paid roughly $2 for every package it had the Postal Service deliver. That is about half the amount Amazon would have paid to other services.
If Trump could turn the Postal Service around, it would be a giant victory.
