Summary
Following reports that President-elect Trump is considering privatizing the U.S. Postal Service, progressives have expressed strong opposition. Critics argue that privatization undermines public assets, emphasizing the Postal Service's importance in American society. Trump's administration has faced scrutiny for its relationship with the USPS and the appointment of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, whose leadership has been contentious. With dwindling mail volumes and mounting financial losses, Trump's path forward remains uncertain. Public figures stress the need to preserve this vital service rather than sell it to private interests as part of broader cost-cutting efforts.
