What’s funny to me is the party of “pay your fair share” and “down with the 1%” is defending some of the biggest corporations who get away with not paying their fair share all because of Trump derangement syndrome.
Careful, you might break an ankle trying to do mental gymnastics like that. In any case, Amazon pays its taxes according to the law, and it collects all applicable sales tax from its customers based on the state they live in.
Yeah, I think it's bad for the nation that Trump gave the wealthiest Americans and all corporations a staggering tax cut, but of course it's ridiculous to assume that means I would be okay with Trump attacking specific businesses with obvious lies all as part of a transparent attempt to silence the free press.

The SINGLE takeaway is in a 50:50 political world, fiduciary duty holds that CEO's should remain as politically nonpartisan/bipartisan as possible.
Put another way, if a corporate CEO buys a newspaper, the public will likely attach his company to obvious bias in the paper, as it should.
Putting aside your false claim of bias, nothing you just said is relevant to the fact that the president is intentionally telling malicious lies about a company in order to damage their bottom line and intimidate the press.
When Trump attacks the "Amazon Washington Post", it's clear that he's being a little bitch and whining because he doesn't like the fact that they report on the train wreck that is his presidency. But Trump isn't the first American president to do this. Nixon was ALMOST as bad about it.
But, when Trump starts intentionally spreading easily disproven lies about a company and using those lies to encourage portions of the executive branch (e.g., the post office) to retaliate against that company, that's a whole 'nother level of banana republicanism. It's shameful to see so many cheering him on over it.

From $1600 to $1400 when during the Great Recession it was like $40, yep what a tanking stock.

Kind of a key word. It means the premise of this article is a hypothetical and not an actual outcry of shareholders threatening to sue. Subtle difference, eh?

You might have a case if they went after specific companies for purely personal reasons based on provably bogus arguments, which is what @real is doing with Amazon.

Facts aren’t necessary for a good Trump circle jerk. I’d refer to them as Sinclair talking points

There hasn’t been a free press since the 70’s.

Amazon will be fine. Maryland wants to give them 5.6B in tax breaks.
