By whose accounts?

By all accounts. The Post Office, for one. They say that they make money off of Amazon, and have begun Sunday deliveries in some areas to handle deliveries from Amazon and others. They wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't profitable. The law, for another. The Post Office Act of 2006 makes it illegal for the Post Office to charge less to deliver an item than what it costs them.

Trust me, they are not making money on Amazon.

OK, Mr. President. But it would help if you had some documentation to support your claims.

Is the USPS operating in the black?

They haven't been for years and it has nothing to do with Amazon and everything to do with pension funding demands the Congress placed on them.

Hahaha. The post Office says so? Ok. It must be true then. Yes..they deliver Amazon on Sunday...not because of volume...it was part of the deal...you think it wasn’t offered to UPS or FedEx? The post office wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t profitable? Now you are just being silly. You have NO idea how much money the USPS wastes on useless programs. The USPS would be losing money regardless of the prefunding that was part of the 2006 law...that was totally supported by the NALC at the time by the way. How can an organization make money paying one carrier $45/hr to deliver one package from Amazon on overtime? It’s a joke. You should work there. I do. Ask 100 carriers what they think of Amazon. I’ll guarantee you 80% would agree with Trump, and prefer Amazon go elsewhere. Especially a rural route carrier who is paid by the route. The USPS doesn’t follow the 2006 Act by Congress. Do they care? No. They haven’t even made their prefunding payment in over a year. They just borrow more from Treasury. The taxpayers

Then why aren't they profitable?
