The OP seems to be implying That Trump shouldn't be able to use the power of his office, to attack his personal political enemies. I'm sure that his cult members highly approve of such tactics.
Amazons competitiors approve, you mean. Otherwise your statement is garbage.
It doesn't help USPS stay afloat. USPS actually operates at a loss delivering for Amazon.
As reported several years ago in the Wall Street Journal, a Citigroup analysis found each parcel gets a $1.46 subsidy.
No matter how often your repeat this lie, it is still a lie.
"Is the Postal Service losing $1.46 on each Amazon parcel? No. This number is a suggestion from a detailed report of how much more the post office should charge to increase its revenues. It doesn't represent losses."
Conservative pundit Eric Bolling Bolling acknowledged that Amazon wasn’t even the cause of the Postal Service’s losses. "Without Amazon, @usps would owe us a ton more $$ than they already do," Bolling tweeted.

Haven't seen that, but a lot reports say the parcel section of the USPS operates on a profit, and the mail side is the one with a loss.
And reports speculating that Amazon pulling it's business from USPS postal could cause that division to start operating at a loss too.
If they want to renegotiate the contract, AT THE PROPER TIME, along with other companies, who get the SAME rates as Amazon, then I fully support them doing so.
If Amazon finds it too burdensome, I am sure they can come up with other options.

Well people are supposed to report their purchases for state sales taxes. However they don't. Mind you I think sales taxes are stupid because I only believe in user fees. I think property taxes, tolls , fees on contracts , rights of way, pass port services ,patents and copyrights, domain registries , band widths or any time anyone calls muh da guberment to enforce their access is a legit revenue source.
There is no doubt Amazon build its empire in part to tax avoidance. I am in a gray area here. Amazon gamed the system , but it was because it avoided a stupid thing to tax which is goods and services.
Amazon charges sales tax now. No more tax free stuff from Amazon.

"By law our competitive package products, including those that we deliver for Amazon, must cover their costs," an August 2017 USPS press release said. "Our regulator, the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), looks carefully at this question every year and has determined that they do. The PRC has also noted that competitive products help fund the infrastructure of the Postal Service."
In fact, the Postal Regulatory Commission gave the green light to the USPS-Amazon deal the same day Trump began tweeting about Amazon last week.
Trump might have a point, however, in saying the USPS could be making more money off Amazon. For example, Citigroup found that on average, USPS was charging $1.46 below market rates for parcel delivery (not just to Amazon). No, the Postal Service isn't losing a fortune on Amazon | PolitiFact
Poor widdle Donny, just can't deal with Bezos being a FAR more successful businessman.
That is it, isn't it?
Jeff Bezos has more money than God, and certainly than DT. More so he can prove it any day of the week with perfectly legit tax returns.
Then again there are scores of "tech" billionaires here in NYC and elsewhere that could buy and sell DT six times over, and still get change back.
It must gall DT that young dudes like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and others are worth billions, and still racking it in, meanwhile he has to scramble around with loans from DB and other sketchy deals to make his so called "business" work.
