White House chief of staff Mark Meadows isn’t having any of the Democrat narrative that President Trump is engaged in a war against the United States Postal Service.
Drawing on his experience as a member of the House Oversight Committee, Meadows notes that the service had issues long before Trump took office.
It is NONSENSE to say @realDonaldTrump is undercutting the Postal Service. I know. I oversaw USPS in Congress on the Oversight Committee. It was a mismanaged wreck during the Obama administration—they’ve lost billions for a decade had issues long before this President.

The former North Carolina congressman also reminds Democrats that they failed to agree to a bill that included a $10 billion loan by the Treasury Department to the Postal Service.
President Trump has already offered $10 billion to fix Postal as part of a COVID relief package. Democrats have said no. They’re holding up a relief bill (including stimulus checks and small business relief) until they get more of their policy wishlist demands included.

Meanwhile, in a joint statement, Democrat leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accuse President Trump of “manipulating” the Postal Service.

Do Democrats seriously think the average American voter is gullible enough to believe that President Trump is the cause of a problem that Barack Obama was complaining about in 2009?
OBAMA (2009): “UPS and FedEx are doing just fine… It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.”

This is the kind of stunt that often ends up backfiring.
