Trump has reignited his criticism campaign against Jeff Bezos and Amazon in recent weeks, taking to Twitter to argue that the e-commerce giant takes advantage of the USPS' delivery rounds by mixing its packages in with the rest. He's also said that Amazon doesn't pay its fair share in taxes, and according to Vanity Fair, he wants Amazon to pay the USPS more in shipping costs.

Trump doesn't seem interested in the counter-argument some have shared that Amazon might have helped reinvigorate the postal service after it lost some steam due to e-mail. One of the people arguing that point was Trump's top economic advisor Gary Cohn, who no longer serves the President.
