Capitol Hill wants Facebook’s blood, but President Trump isn’t interested. Instead, the tech behemoth Trump wants to go after is Amazon, according to five sources who’ve discussed it with him. “He’s obsessed with Amazon,” a source said. “Obsessed.”

What we're hearing: Trump has talked about changing Amazon’s tax treatment because he’s worried about mom-and-pop retailers being put out of business




quote:

Behind the president's thinking: Trump's wealthy friends tell him Amazon is destroying their businesses. His real estate buddies tell him — and he agrees — that Amazon is killing shopping malls and brick-and-mortar retailers.

Trump tells people Amazon has gotten a free ride from taxpayers and cushy treatment from the U.S. Postal Service.

“The whole post office thing, that's very much a perception he has,” another source said. “It's been explained to him in multiple meetings that his perception is inaccurate and that the post office actually makes a ton of money from Amazon."





Another Reptilian about to go down.

Why doesn't he curtail automobile production because it's harming the blacksmith industry?

Isn't this how business works? I thought Trump was supposed to be some great business man.

Should Amazon get special tax breaks that aren’t offered to other retailers? Playing corporate favorites through taxes isn’t “free market” economics, it’s picking winners and losers

Amazon has actually been really good for a lot of small businesses. Their secondary seller platform allows thousands of smaller companies to have a easy to use platform that connects them to 10s of millions of Americans

Amazon isn't a business it's the enforcement arm of the gay mafia

I, too, lament the loss of mom-and-pop retailers like Circuit City and Toys'R'Us

The reason Amazon is getting the tax breaks they got is because they choose to invest $100s of billions into American infastructure creating 10s of thousands of jobs

Yep, but let’s subsidize the shitty dying shopping mall industry. Make Cortana Mall Great Again.

I think this is a tricky decision. I mean is Amazon considered a monopoly, if not how much further along do they have to go to get that status? It was easy to bring the hammer down on Standard Oil. They did just fine after that.

Not even close to a monopoly. As long as walmart exists they are safe.
