Evil Trump

- Don Ellis Henderson Fredric Rolando Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump claims that if President Barack Obama had made the deals he did, we would have named a national holiday after him. So maybe they should name national holidays after some of Mr. Trump’s great deals.

What names should they be?

For border security: Children’s Day. For negotiatio­ns with Kim Jong Un: D&K Day. For outing the United States from the Iran nuclear deal: Hide Day. For his great financial deals: Laundry Day. For his love of the media: Fake News Day. For all his truths: Pinocchio Day.

Mr. Trump believes he is so great that I am sure we can find a holiday for him in each of the 12 months.

It is clear the president is very envious of President Obama’s 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, his doing in of Osama Bin Laden and his pulling our country out of maybe the worst financial disaster ever.

decades into the future. That $5.6 billion annual burden accounts in recent years for 100 percent of financial losses. In fact, over the past half-dozen years, the Postal Service has averaged almost a billion dollars in operating profit (i.e. absent this political mandate). Lawmakers need to address this flawed public policy.

Meanwhile, the value of the Postal Service to the public should be emphasized. It provides Americans and their businesses — large and small — with the industrial world’s most-affordable delivery network without a dime of taxpayer money. It’s the centerpiec­e of the $1.3 trillion national mailing industry, which employs
