Donald Trump is considering scrapping a plan to transition the Postal Service to electric vehicles, which would result in the loss of 1,000 jobs in South Carolina.
Reuters reported:
President Donald Trump’s transition team is considering canceling a contract to electrify the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery fleet as part of a broader executive order targeting electric vehicles, according to three sources familiar with the plans.
The move, which could be unveiled early in the Trump administration, which begins Jan. 20, is consistent with Trump’s campaign pledge to roll back President Joe Biden’s efforts to decarbonize U.S. transportation to combat climate change. They said it was unnecessary and potentially damaging to the economy.
Among the implications of Trump’s decision are:
Trump plans to eliminate 1,000 jobs in South Carolina immediately.

It doesn’t matter that this move will stifle job growth and force companies that already have contracts to build fleets to lay off workers. The point is that Donald Trump is trying to turn back the clock and halt progress in any way possible.
This is one of the first of many stories about Trump overturning Biden’s agenda and killing jobs.
All those red state voters who failed to realize that Joe Biden’s policies are one of the big reasons their economies are booming will get what they want after voting to send Trump back to the white man, and many of them deserve it. I would say there is. house.
