Snopes.

However, the reasons for the decline in the number of mailboxes during the Obama years appeared to have little to do with politics surrounding elections. According to the 2016 report:
As the Postal Service adapts its collection infrastructure to meet customers’ needs at a reasonable cost, it has eliminated underused collection boxes that on average receive fewer than 25 pieces a day, and added collection boxes that are convenient for customers.
In fact, the number of blue steel mailboxes across the U.S. has been steadily declining for decades under various administrations. In 1985, the country had 400,000 mailboxes. In 2011, there were 160,000. Today, there are around 142,000 collection boxes in operation. Many blame the gradual death of the Postal Service on the growth of the internet, labor costs, and congressional meddling.

As usual, liar. |
Liar? Your own source proved that Clothahump's numbers were correct. To be blunt: from the very source you quoted:

What's True
The number of mail collection boxes declined by more than 12,000 nationally from 2011 to 2016, according to an August 2016 report, largely because they were underused.

How does that make him a liar?
He also asked you a question that I think bears answering. Are you going to answer it?
