Pres. Trump’s alleged efforts to subvert the Post Office for his own political agenda go beyond the current scandal over voting by mail. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on a long-running feud with billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, including incriminating secret White House meetings reported by the Washington Post itself, and why the scandal matters now amidst allegations of election impropriety and the Postmaster General facing Congress, in a new installment of The Beat’s special Backstory series. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 08/20/2020.

Losing Again: Trump's Postal Plot Backfires Amidst Bezos Feud | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
The Postal Service’s job is NOT to make money! They provide a needed service for the country.
Dump ,doesn’t know that !
Dump doesn’t know that
@Petunia Luna “So why is MSNBC not repeating that fact”
MSNBC isn’t known for facts anymore than CNN, NPR, PBS……..
@Manny Chada Trump has increased the national debt by 8 trillion dollars, by far the highest amount of any term in history. Look it up.
@J M dude ….that stock portfolio must be off the Chain !!! Gtfoh ! You racist silverspoon fed pig !
The SCARIEST time will be between November 3 and Jan 20……
@bogeyman10us11 exactly.
@Pedro Santos yes, trump wants us to vote at the polls because some voting areas use computers and the belief is that Russia hacked into those during the 2016 elections. Also some polling areas are being combined with others especially in low income areas to try and suppress votes in mostly Democrat areas.
You can go online to check to see if your vote was counted but you can’t see who you voted for.
Yes it will with all the whining from left when they lose!!!!
@HLulea my son would love that, he’s a navy seal.
HLulea this one is going to be a great show!
Vote as if your life depended on it. Because it does!
We must make it the highest turnout in history!
@StoneyRun No, it doesn’t. This is just Trump Troll disinformation.
@Remco V: Trump 2020: 20 years (without parole) for fraud, corruption, extortion, and sexual assault; and 20 years (without parole) for treason. Consecutive. That’s before we get to witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.
@Remco V: How’s the weather in Moscow, Vladimir?
@C. Scott you obviously never heard the complete quote, just the edited version the Dems want you to believe!!
They left off the rest of the sentence, ” and I’m not talking about the skinheads & neo Nazis, they should be condemned to the fullest!”
And it goes on from there!
Maybe you should go find the ENTIRE video and watch it & see for yourself! The Dems are LYING to you!!!

If there was only one example out there you might have a point but we both know that this person has no Moral compass. He has all the traits of a sociopath, narcissist, compulsive liar, etc…. when you make excuses for him you are damaging America. I know you won’t believe these words, you’re blinded by the cult of personality. History will reveal The depths of his depravity and you will act like you had nothing to do with it. But your conscience will have to live with it.
“The Post Office is a joke”? The joke is that we have a moron for a president!

@Paramedgirl And Moscow Mitch will every bill they present… 400 of them on the self-proclaimed Grim Reaper’s desk was the count a year ago.

@Jen Vicinity Shortsighted diatribe. Obama started building most of those cages. When you want to compare how many people have gained jobs with Reps vs. how many people dems pump into the prison there isn’t a question about motives. Both parties are responsible for the “war on drugs” with their own and collaborative private interests. Trump at least isn’t a tool for the establishment that afflicts both parties and the citizens of this and every country. Get a clue come back when you have a real link.
I PREFER DEMON
The Postmaster General just testified he didn’t meet with Trump about the policy changes, but many states are still suing to keep the pressure on the USPS. We will stay on the story.
That was a real thin attempt to tie a package together lol
Anna Bell agreed. Also keep in mind you can bet these same people are probably still going to Walmart but again the integrity of a ballot should never be compromised. Calif / New York are going to be a mess
Thanks for your insightful show, Ari.
I don’t always agree with you, but generally you are “right enough”!

Some people, like Biden, are actually capable of changing their views and evolve, over the course of 45 years.
Try it sometime.

I agree! And he keeps helping Bezos, along with other billionaires, with tax cuts. So now his plan to hurt Bezos actually hurts most Americans, and doesn’t hurt Bezos much.
So, we have here a Bezo who IS a billionaire, and a Bozo who is NOT.
🤣😂That is priceless.
Exactly I couldn’t have said it better
And they have him running the country!!! Dam shame Lord help us get this clown out of the WH
🤣🤣🤣Well said
this made me smile ~~ thanks
So it’s not safe enough to vote but it is safe enough to send our children back to school? Da faq???
Yep, I’ve followed this for years. This is definitely all because of Bezos’ ownership of WaPo. And there are so many other examples like this, most of them pretty obvious and out in the open. This guy is without a doubt the most corrupt president in our history.
If trump wanted to hurt Bezos he should’ve taxed the 1% which included Bezos
@Tugis Art Studio friends jews ? its just a puppet on a string psychopate nitwit
@Paul B usa is broke

@Tecumseh Sherman what got new nazi’s in comen whit whatever goes around in your sick head,from GERMANIA north mid. Europa what are manny usa’ers brainles puppets on a string.do you knowe what NSAP means
You’re right that’s why the US is a mess now .America can do better by electing a new president Joe Biden.
You”re doing a great job Ari covering trump and the postal services! Stay on it, this election matters.
This man is the embodiement of a toxic waste dump.
100%
Trump-pet indeed is best wishes GERMANIA
And they call African leaders corrupt. Now we know who they learned from
What a deranged man! Jealous of Bezos’ money.
100% right Bezos is a genuine self-made billionaire, Trump just squandered his dads money into multi bankruptcies.
T rump as a bussiness man compared to Bezos is a rag and bone merchant
I think if trump wins.he will take down cnn,msnbc,and others..we wont have too visit Russia..we can experience Russia first hand here in America
let us hope the majority of people cast there vote for BIDEN with the HOPE of eliminating that piece if ROT out of the WH *
Everything has to be his way or
The highway.. his a joke
The only joke I see is Trump.
Amen.
The USA, place of the living blind.
Can’t keep acting like you don’t see a thing.The longer the time, the more damage there’ll be.
Yet Voting for a cognitively impaired man is comforting…
Dont blame reality..
