Summary
Donald Trump is considering privatizing the US Postal Service due to its financial losses, a move that could disrupt shipping and push hundreds of thousands of federal workers out of government.
Citing the USPS’s financial losses, Trump argued the agency should not rely on government subsidies.
While his specific privatization plans remain unclear, Trump previously clashed with the USPS during his first term, attempting to shift control of key functions like labor relations and rate-setting to the Treasury Department.
This move could significantly alter the structure and operations of the USPS if implemented.
There were empty seats on the board that would have tipped the balance, sitting vacant for the entirety of Biden’s term.
Not to excuse Biden, because he has fucked up on multiple fronts, but aren’t those appointments dependent on Senate confirmations and thus sitting mostly empty under Obama, which let the Cheeto Bandito take over in the first place? And IDK if the Senate would have confirmed any Biden nominees. Wouldn’t have hurt to try though.
Biden appointed, and the Senate confirmed, enough postal board members to get rid of DeJoy if Biden wanted.
But DeJoy is still there, and it’s 1000% because Biden did not want to get rid of him.

Biden has made 4 appointments that are waiting for the senate to confirm. The earliest is from February of last year. I think he should have started earlier but to say it’s 1000% on him is false.
