Donald Trump is gearing up for a monumental second term.
After a landslide victory, he has stated he has “the nation’s mandate to save America.”
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
With a supercharged agenda, Trump promises to outshine his first term. He was already teasing major moves to cut waste, save billions—maybe even trillions—in taxpayer dollars, and restore what he calls “America’s glory.”
But Trump is not merely planning to tweak a few knobs. He has been targeting so far one agency at a time and in particular an agency he calls, “Failing.”
He hints it is draining the economy faster than a leaky bucket in a monsoon.
From Daily Caller:
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly looking to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), three people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post in a report published Sunday…
As mail volume declines for the Postal Service, the agency has reportedly lost $9.5 billion in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30, The Washington Post reported.
In fact, sources close to Trump say he is considering full privatization of the historic agency.
He has had candid conversations about it at Mar-a-Lago with Howard Lutnick, his pick for Commerce Secretary and co-chair of his transition team.
The USPS has been a financial headache for years. Last year, it hemorrhaged $9.5 billion, thanks to declining mail volume and what Trump calls “inefficiency on steroids.”
For context, this is the same USPS that received only 93 trucks out of The Obiden Regime’s grandiose plan for 60,000 electric vehicles.
This is a side note well worth mentioning:
U.S. Government Electric Vehicle Fleet—
Billions spent, almost nothing delivered—literally.
This is not just about saving stamps or packages, though. Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—yes, DOGE—has been sharpening its teeth.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the co-leaders of the panel, have reportedly had early discussions about USPS reforms. Musk, “whose efficiency obsessions could probably streamline a Monopoly game,” seems like the perfect foil to the Postal Service’s bloated operations.
Privatizing the USPS is not just a cost-cutting exercise—it is a philosophical shift. The agency, established in 1775 with Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General, has seen better days.
Back then, it was revolutionary, delivering letters and connecting colonies. Today, it is struggling to stay relevant in a world of TikTok and Amazon Prime.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, incoming chair of the DOGE subcommittee, minced no words.
She said:
USPS wasting money has to stop.
Greene’s blunt style pairs well with Trump’s unapologetic approach. Together, they seem ready to deliver a swift kick to the Postal Service’s inefficiencies.
And the timing couldn’t be more perfect—or hilariously ironic. As the holiday season rolls around, Americans are flooding the USPS with cards and packages.
But under Trump’s vision, next year you might be choosing from FedEx, UPS, or some new Musk-inspired “Rocket Mail.”
Critics argue privatization could hurt e-commerce, especially for companies relying on affordable shipping. But supporters say:
[I]t is about time the USPS started pulling its weight.
And if Musk and Ramaswamy are involved, you can bet it will be high-tech and innovative—or not at all.
Who knows? Imagine our future packages arriving via drone, or perhaps, a self-driving Tesla.
