Article 1, Section 8

Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, that document written by the Founding Fathers and revered by Americans, lists the powers of Congress.  One of those powers is "To establish Post Offices and post Roads."

Now Trump is doing his best to destroy the Post Office by starving it of funds because he doesn't like the fact that it delivers packages from Amazon.  Jeff Bezos heads Amazon, and Trump hates Bezos because Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which has been very critical of Trump.

It is difficult to imagine the pettiness of this President, who is willing to destroy an institution thought important enough to be mentioned by the men who wrote the Constitution.  And why?  To satisfy a personal thirst for revenge.

Trump is deranged.  Yet I know people who still think he is wonderful and plan to vote for him.

Note:  I plan to buy a new computer tomorrow.  I may not get it until Tuesday, which means no post tomorrow night.  I hope I'll be back on Tuesday,
