‘[T]he v-bomb.’

That’s how an unnamed Trump administration source quoted in a Washington Post report this weekend referred to a prospective presidential veto of coronavirus stimulus legislation if it included money to rescue the now-in-crisis U.S. Postal Service.

“We told them very clearly that the president was not going to sign the bill if [money for the Postal Service] was in it,” the anonymous administration official is quoted as having said. “I don’t know if we used the v-bomb, but the president was not going to sign it, and we told them that.”
