President Donald Trump on Thursday returned to one of his favorite targets, attacking online retail giant Amazon over taxes, its effect on brick-and-mortar stores and one other thing that caused some head-scratching.

Trump said Amazon uses “our Postal System as their Delivery Boy.”

That has people wondering: Isn’t the United States Postal Service supposed to be in the delivery business?

It’s in their mission:
“The Postal Service mission is to provide a reliable, efficient, trusted and affordable universal delivery service that connects people and helps businesses grow.”

The USPS says on its website that it’s “the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation,” and notes that it delivers 47 percent of the world’s mail.

Trump seems to imply that the company’s heavy use of the USPS is, as he tweeted, “causing tremendous loss to the U.S.”

My comment:...Sometimes we really don't know where Trump is coming from. Is he lost in space? Is he on the way to the Klingon Empire? Who is in charge? How stupid can someone be? What the hell does this mean?. Yes, he is lost in space..but it ain't any space around here. He is lost in his own universe, in his own world, and totally lost about telling the truth..

1. Amazon is probably what enables the USPS to keep going...

he seems to get dumber by the day.

[Stuart G]

2. I think you are correct. Sometimes we think he cannot get any dumber.

And then, he proves us wrong. There is no clarity to what he has written. What does it all mean?
Doesn't he have a writing coach in the WH? guess not...

5. It's why people worry about dimentia

It is so reminiscent of my fathers decline. The assertions become more nonsensical each day.

6. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of Newman telling Kramer he can't

stop delivery of the mail because of too much junk mail. Newman tells him junk mail is why the post office still exists.

3. I wish everything he said could be considered irrelevant

And we could just concentrate on his actions and those of his fellow swamp- dwellers. They are dismantling our democracy piece-by-piece, little by little until we wake up one day and it is gone, over, kaput!

4. Shake your head if you think Trump makes no sense

[demigoddess]

7. this is one rich man who never had to learn anything and without the curiosity to do so

leading into dementia probably. If you don't use your brain you lose it.

8. Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, remember?

Mr Bezos also owns one of Mr Trumps betes noir, the Washington Post.

That is where he's coming from.

9. The Klingons wouldn't...

...want him. Anymore than we do.

10. There is an episode in the original Star Trek series where some alien entity

that enjoys hate and more hate, anger, and war..gets on the Enterprise and the opposing Klingon ship and the entity tries to provoke a war, hate and anger between the Enterprise and the Klingons. For a while, the alien's plan works..and it seems to move the two against each other in a warlike way.

At the end of the episode, the Klingons and the Enterprise make some kind of temporary peace in order to get rid of the alien..The alien senses that there will not be a war, and the peace that is made... is hurtful to it, so the alien leaves both ships and the Enterprise and the Klingons go on their separate ways.

The title of that episode is ...The Day of The Dove. If you hit the following link you will find out more info on it. It is the seventh episode of the third season of Star Trek, first broadcast November 1, 1968,

Yes, Trump is so bad, that I would make peace with ..."Them" if it meant getting someone more sensible and stable. Trump is not stable, and I think he is a danger to everyone in this world...period

12. Major Trek fan here. I know the episode well.

IIRC, Kirk and the head Klingon (played by Michael Ansara, I think) laugh the entity off the ship. The alen was depicted as a whirling/swirling light that would get redder as tensions increased.

Does this make me a Trek nerd? I didn't look anything up before posting this.

[Stuart G]

13. No. nerd is the wrong word. We are just "fans of a great TV show"

You know there are people who can quote Seinfeld episodes. They can tell you who said what and when. Many of Star Trek episodes had great underlying meanings.

[3catwoman3]

14. "Many of Star Trek episodes had great underlying meanings."

They most certainly did.

In the mid-1970s, I went to 2 Star Trek conventions. What delightful exxperiences. Fans of all ages. The most pervasive feeling was open-mindedness to possibilities outside the current known world. Gene Roddenberry was the keynote speaker at one of them. I had my picture taken with Jimmy Doohan and Walter Koenig. It was so much fun.

11. Maybe the orange ass can explain

How ANY company can survive a congressional mandate to fund pensions for 75 years in a 10 year period unless you want them to fail!
