Twitter users lambasted the president’s attempt to slow down the United States Postal Service to help his reelection chances.
Donald Trump’s tweeted praise of two private sector delivery companies didn’t get the reaction he might have expected.
On Friday, the president praised employees at FedEx and UPS for driving through storms to deliver millions of doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
THANK YOU to the GREAT men and women of @FedEx and @UPS for driving through the storms this week to deliver millions of doses of the vaccine across the country. Two Great American Companies!

But some Twitter users didn’t appreciate the president’s message.
No thanks to the US Post Office?
Oh that’s right, they delivered all of those mail in ballots that made sure you were defeated. 😂 https://t.co/DLT9jOBIzD

Instead, they used the president’s tweet as an opportunity to lambaste him for attempting to slow down the United States Postal Service to help his reelection chances amid a massive push for mail-in ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic.
