Donald Trump’s war on the United States Postal Service took a hilarious turn on Twitter when Trump appeared to accidentally tag a USPS advocacy group, which proceeded to troll him in response.
From removing the iconic blue postal service boxes from multiple locations or locking them up so they can’t be used, to removing mail sorting machines, and executing a Friday Night Massacre, Trump has admitted that the aim of these moves is to slow down the mail and sabotage mail-in voting for the benefit of his re-election campaign.
But he has also caused a national uproar as Americans across the country rally to save one of the few institutions that are mandated by the Constitution.
As a result, the House is set to convene in order to pass appropriate legislation and is seeking testimony from Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, even if they have to subpoena him or hold him in contempt.

Faced with such a massive backlash, Trump took to Twitter to insist that he supports the Postal Service and that all he wants to do is make it great. He even seemed to attempt to tag the USPS.
The U.S. Post Office (System) has been failing for many decades. We simply want to MAKE THE POST OFFICE GREAT AGAIN, while at the same time saving billions of dollars a year for American Taxpayers. Dems don’t have a clue! @USPostOffice911

The problem is that the account he posted is not the United States Postal Service, which can be found here, but an advocacy group that opposes Trump’s meddling.
The advocacy account went on to troll Trump by thanking him for bringing attention to their cause.
Thank you for tagging me & highlighting my account, Mr. President. I point out your incompetence and lies about the post office and mail-in voting on a daily basis.
The American people have caught on to the act and will hold you and your new corrupt postmaster accountable.

We can now expect this advocacy group to get a lot more popular. And it’s because of Trump’s incompetence.
