3. The USPS may well be privatized by Trump.

Some private equity group will take over and rates for mail and packages will no doubt be increased enormously. The private equity pattern is always to cut staff, close unprofitable locations (most likely the rural ones) and sell the buildings paid for by taxpayer money for a profit to private investors, and cancel many services such as passport applications and renewals to force the service online where AI will handle everything, no staff needed.

Trumplandia will be a dystopian world where government serves only the rich.
