Donald Trump has never hidden his intention to destroy the United States Postal Service (USPS) as we know it. DeJoy has admitted that his changes to the USPS have caused delays to service, though he insists it has been unintentional. The postal service has long been a target for Republicans, in part because a successful USPS is a threat to Republican ideology. A popular socialized mail service threatens to severely undercut this case. The good news is: because the postal service is popular, Trump’s attacks on it have provoked public outrage.
