Well considering they lose $1Billion a year and must be subsidized by the tax payers I'd say its piss poor management from the post master and not the president.
You are blaming 1 guy that's been in office 3 years for something that has been mismanaged for 40 years. Hell most the vehicles they deliver mail in are 30+ years old.
USPS is self-funded.
And the only reason it's facing massive budget issues is due to a stupid 2006 law that Congress and GWB passed that suddenly required them to pre-fund employee retirement 75 years into the future. The same bill also restricted the USPS's ability to raise prices on its services to help pay for this.

It's basically been set on a course to fail for 15 years by Republicans, who wish to see it be destroyed.
Basically, everything in your post is wrong and stupid.
And Trump knows damn well why they're in their current situation and what little they're allowed to do about it, as he berates them for not raising prices when they can't even do that w/o Congress allowing it.
