Trump is so so full of lies he lies through lies..I actually thought amazon was trully ripping off usps as Trump said until I read about it well and knew the truth..

Trump is afraid the Washington post owned by Jeff bozos that keeps on bursting his lies would eventually run him down that is why he keeps on coming for Jeff and Amazon..

He is a stupid individual that will soon meet his Waterloo..The Mueller investigation is closing in on him and he is getting worked up..

How is Trump doing a bad thing here? Amazon/Jeff Bezos paid ZERO, I repeat, ZERO taxes in 2017. In fact he was paid about a net 800 million dollars by the daddy US government! If an Amazon worker earning less than $30,000 paid more taxes than a fucking billionaire... sorry.... the richest man in the world, then you know that it is a broken system that exists in the USA. An oligarchy. Remember even Warren Buffet said a couple of years ago that his secretary paid more taxes than he did.

What Amazon has done is to use its paid lackeys in government especially at the state level on being exempt from tax and even collecting government subsidies for their PRIVATE business. This is a business whose model is to operate at a loss to drive away all competition around it, especially small businesses, and then control more than 50% of the market of the commodity being sold, before hiking their prices. This has made many regular Americans who were using their businesses to get by, close down their shops and made them much poorer plus in more debt.
A rigged system if you ask me, yet gullible Nigerians just see a post and jump on it without knowing the facts. Smh angry

You had a point but don't get confused about this particular issue. Why do you think Trump is complaining that about Amazon's tax? But the truth is that Trump hasn't lifted a finger against Amazon because that will be a problem but just his comments doing the damage. And there is nothing anyone can do about Trump's comments.

He didn't pay any taxes in 2017. In fact he was paid more money by the government. A simple google search would show you. Plus I know all this information because I read and investigate my news from different outlets and not rely on fake mainstream media news for my information. People need to be more wise and know that all these billionaires don't give a Bleep about us. We are the slave class or the useless eaters as they call us. Research into a lot of things and you will know most of what you have been taught since you were a kid are mostly lies. Be smart, read books, use the internet to your advantage.

What about Trump himself and his businesses? Too many allegations of clever tax evasion. Trump knew how the system protects the rich, most especially the job creators like himself. He knew that policy wise, there was little he could against Amazon. So, the only weapon he has is to run the company down with his mouth and give it bad publicity. Most especially, his republican party is notoriously known for prioritising big corporates over smaller ones and citizens.

I am not American nor do I have a care about their rigged 2 party system. I am a realist and take things as they go. If Trump said something about Amazon and it dropped their share prices, I am happy. Don't give a Bleep about Trump, Republicans, Democrats or any of their stupid charades.
