The ‘sweetheart deal’ thing seems ridiculously silly, especially when the President tries to slam USPS doing a sweetheart deal with Amazon. 90% of the time whenever I order something from Amazon, it arrives from an Amazon delivery driver. Hardly ever do they hand it off to USPS - if it was such a sweetheart deal, I’d imagine they’d want to use them all the time.

Questions / criticism of various USPS deals predates the current administration by a LOT. They date back to at least the first major FedEx deal (dropboxes in return air transport) which was struck in 2001.
