Summary
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy faced sharp criticism during a House Oversight Committee hearing over USPS delivery issues, financial troubles, and his leadership.
Rep. Rich McCormick mocked DeJoy for covering his ears during heated exchanges, accusing him of bankrupting the postal system and undermining public trust.
DeJoy defended his performance, citing ongoing efforts to overhaul USPS through a $40 billion plan, including electric vehicles, but admitted regrets and challenges.
Tensions reflect broader frustrations over USPS reforms and the agency’s financial sustainability amid mixed results.
In general? Definitely not. In this specific case? Yeah, probably. It’s not normal for appointees to be sycophant drones, and in terms of concentration of power it’s not even desirable. Concentrating total power in the President is not a good idea, and advocating it by blaming the President for things that fall outside the scope of their power only empowers the people who want a dictator.
He made his appointments to the Board. The decisions those Board members make are on them, if you have a problem with their decisions, criticize them directly and direct your correspondence to them. Concentrating every complaint on the President promotes an inaccurate, and therefore ineffective, conception of scope of responsibility.
When trump fires DeJoy, remember this comment.
