It is now being reported that Donald Trump wants to privatize the United States Postal Service. These reports don't really cite to the United States Constitution, which says that Donald Trump couldn't do that on his own by way of an executive order. Congress has the authority and is the only entity charged with the authority to regulate the post office. So it would require a bill to be introduced and that bill to become a law. But corporate media will propagate Donald Trump's wannabe authoritarian propaganda. But there's a broader issue that I think we should discuss here with Donald Trump saying he wants to privatize the Post Service, citing financial losses. Donald Trump and the MAGA playbook is to destroy the agencies, to destroy the institutions, and then use their own destruction as a pretext for privatization and then enriching their fellow oligarchs. end blaming Democrats or deep state or whoever, and then using those oligarchs like those who control Fox and other corporate media to propagate the lie.

Fortunately, we still have this platform here on YouTube and at the Midas Touch Network. to tell the truth, and we're going to use our voices loudly and proudly here. So let's use the United States Post Office as our first example, and then I'll show you some other examples of what's going on here. So who is the Postmaster General of the Postal Service who has utterly destroyed its ability to function? Oh yeah, it's a guy named Louis DeJoy. Louis DeJoy was appointed by Donald Trump, and back in May of 2020, When Donald Trump made that appointment, we and others were calling that out. We were saying, look, Louis DeJoy has never worked for the United States Postal Service before, but he is or at that time was an investor in numerous entities and contracting companies that competed directly with the United States Postal Service. In fact, Louis DeJoy's entire job was basically to compete with and bring down the United States Postal Service before becoming the postmaster general.
Ben Meiselas 3:09
We discussed that and what did he do as soon as he got that job? Oh, what were his qualifications other than wanting to destroy the entity he would lead? Well, he was one of Donald Trump's biggest donors. Surprise, surprise. Donated a lot of money, contributed a lot of money to Donald Trump. So what does he do when he takes over? He systematically rips it apart from within. Frankly, even Republicans have called out the way Louis DeJoy has handled the Postal Service. But that's not a quirk. That was the actual purpose of it, and it was the purpose to do that, to then privatize it, and then to hand it out as a favor to one of the oligarchs who show up at Mar-a-Lago and kiss the ring. I wonder, are people like Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg and Tim Cook and others who go to Mar-a-Lago, give $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration, are they lining up and trying to position themselves, for example, to be a privatized version of a postmaster general and to take a billion dollar contract or more as a favor? The way it exists, for example,
Ben Meiselas 4:17
in oligarchical countries like authoritarian countries like Russia. Is that one of the things that is taking place? So you take a look, for example, at the post service where Trump's guy destroyed the post service from within, used that as pretext to privatize, hand it over to the oligarchy, let the oligarchy run it and profit from it and exploit we the people.
