My son was a carrier for the USPS. One day, a crazy person came out of their house with a machete and started running toward my son swinging the machete. My son drove off and told his boss he would not be delivering on that route anymore. Trump took away the Postal Police that protected our USPS employees. We need them back. Carriers are being held up by gun holding goons.
