In 2018, Trump issued an executive order to create a postal task force, led by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. The group was charged with figuring out how to make the postal service a more profitable entity.

but how would we get Irene Independent, Centrist Carl, and Ursula Undecided to vote for the the urban elitist democratic tax-and-spend freeloaded party by reducing the efficiency of the USPS, which does absolutely nothing for rural americans?
