Amazon Postal Cronyism And President Trump — President Trump, this morning, tweeted:
I am right about Amazon costing the United States Post Office massive amounts of money for being their Delivery Boy. Amazon should pay these costs (plus) and not have them bourne by the American Taxpayer. Many billions of dollars. P.O. leaders don’t have a clue (or do they?)!
Note the parentheses around “or do they.”
You don’t need to be a brain surgeon like Ben Carson to get that he is expressing a suspicion that the leaders of the United States Postal Service are taking bribes.
It is not an unfair suspicion.
Not even a week ago — March 28 — President Trump fired Dr. David Shulkin as secretary of Veterans Affairs, replacing him with Ronny L. Jackson, who had been the White House doctor and is a Navy admiral.
Shulkin last summer took his wife on a luxurious European vacation on the taxpayer dime and accepted gifts that could be construed as graft. He also was by many accounts dragging his feet on needed reforms.
So if Amazon is getting the great taxpayer subsidy via the postal service as it appears why would one not expect palms to be getting greased?
