What's Driving Trump's Attacks on Amazon? It's Personal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Early in President Donald Trump’s term, when White House officials heard him complain vociferously about Amazon.com Inc. they arranged private briefings in the Oval Office to make sure that he would talk knowledgeably about the company.

Gary Cohn, his top economic adviser, and other officials gave PowerPoint presentations and briefing papers they believed debunked his concerns that Amazon was dodging taxes and exploiting the U.S. Postal Service.

It made little difference. Mr. Trump persisted in attacks that ran counter to the material they had showed him.

“It’s not the narrative he wants,” one person familiar with the matter said of the White House briefings. “He clearly didn’t find it persuasive because he keeps saying it’s untrue.”

Sounds like the life story of Donald Trump. He believes he's right despite evidence to the contrary. We're all going to suffer because of that.

1. Because Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post......

Which has not been kind to Trump with all the Russia, Stormy Daniels scoops, and insider White House leaks they have printed.

With Trump, it has never been about business. It has been personal.

2. Because he once ordered something on Amazon and it wasn't delivered right away

I'm making this up, but would not be surprised if it turned out to be something this petty

4. He's pissed that other people can get Amazon Prime

In his mind, the only one in the world worthy of being Prime is himself.

3. Trump loves to Badger People

5. He googled "Amazons"

Saw pictures of fierce, strong, independent women...Something his mind cannot tolerate.

It's all over a typo
