A Trump Takeover Could Make the Mail a Lot Worse
Briefly

President Trump's proposals for the U.S. Postal Service have faced resounding criticism from both parties. Lawmakers, union representatives, and postal advocates believe his idea to take control of the agency could damage its operations and ability to maintain universal service. By potentially placing USPS under the Commerce Department, it might face severe budget cuts and operational control issues. This initiative appears legally questionable and would likely provoke court challenges, needing Congressional consent for structural changes. The Postal Service, despite its popularity among the public, is often a target of Trump's criticism and reforms.
When Trump stated he could improve the U.S. Postal Service, most lawmakers and advocates disagreed, warning his plans could threaten universal mail service.
Moving the Postal Service under Trump's control may lead to indiscriminate cuts similar to those seen in other agencies, resulting in devastation.
