17. We had to destroy the village in order to save it.

Trump is destroying the postal service to save it from evil liberals like Amazon who use it as a delivery boy. It's unacceptable to have liberal pay money to the post office to deliver things. Everyone knows their job is to fund retirement 75 years into the future. Get a brain morans!

Trump and his people will always try to destroy every American institution and it's disgusting that we have to defend the frickin post office. It's rural and elderly people who depend on it the most. Trump's own voters in the red states are the ones who depend on the post office when they don't have commercial options like the cities. It's Grandma sending letters and birthday gifts to her grandkids who gets screwed.
