Trump asked the Post Office to raise shipping prices for Amazon.

If it’s true that Trump strongarmed the Postmaster General to double Amazon’s postal rates in order to punish Jeff Bezos for the Washington Post’s constitutionally protected critiques of DJT’s policies, that would fit snugly into a lengthening list of abuses of presidential power
