Amazon loses 50 billion in value after Trump says he "wants to go after them"

[DrLove]

Trump hates Amazon - But apparently not Facebook who got him elected.

President Donald Trump is not a fan of Amazon.

Axios is reporting that Trump wants to "go after" the e-commerce giant, citing five sources who have talked about Amazon with him.

"He's obsessed with Amazon," one source told the media outlet. "Obsessed."

Trump has discussed altering the company's tax treatment because several of his friends told him Amazon is hurting their businesses and "killing shopping malls and brick-and-mortar retailers," according to Axios.

Amazon shares fell 7.3 percent Wednesday after the report, wiping out nearly $53 billion in shareholder value.​

Bet ya Donnie Dotard bought a million or so shares after the dip.

Amazon loses more than $50 billion in value on report Trump wants to 'go after' company's tax treatment

He should have thought about that before giving them a massive permanent tax cut at the expense of the common tax payer

President Trump continually abuses his power as President.

He really needs to keep his big TRAP SHUT, until he has a final policy change.

and he needs to stop bullying people and companies he personally does not like or has a beef with, like the NFL, CNN merger, etc....

He's president of everyone here now, he needs to start acting like it!!!

It’s a shame there’s no recompense for these companies. Trump should be sued into oblivion.

Worst President in history.

Good. Amazon is a far greater threat to jobs and mom and pop shops than Wal-Mart ever was.

I love how you just cited the greatest mom and pop destroyer of all time to attack Amazon. The real people threatened by Amazon are the stores like Wal Mart that destroyed all the mom and pops.

Was The Auto Bailout Used To Shut Down Republican Dealerships? | Off The Grid News

The problem, according to Renacci and Kelly, is that a high percentage of those dealerships were owned by Republicans. The dealerships that had their relationships with General Motors terminated included Renacci-Doraty in Wadsworth, Ohio, owned by Renacci’s family, and Wayland Chevrolet, started by Kelly’s father. Both men claimed that they decided to run for Congress because their family dealerships were taken away.

Hypocrite, thy name is liberal.

This is more about Trump's hatred of the free press and in this case the Washington Post. Trump is a weak man, a bully who cannot accept criticism.

Rebecca Solnit: The Loneliness of Donald Trump

"In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness."

The bailout closed their dealerships!

Now that’s a whopper! Never heard that one before! “I had to close my GM dealership because LIBERALS decided that GM should still exist!”

He was a democrat before he became a Republican. Maybe he still has some liberalism still in him that is being used against the Democrats? Just the Democrats don't like their own playbook used against them.

From the people who voted for the community agitator who called the rest of US racists when we opposed his POLICIES not his race.. Bwaaahhhhaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa. Todays liberals hate REAL men as they feel threatened by them.

Not sure about "history" but in MY lifetime?

No question. He'll be ranked by presidential scholars somewhere in the bottom 5.

But of course. That's because Amazon deals in what we call "books" while Nosebook traffics in "three million Amish mobilize to vote for Rump" and "Hillary has Parkinson's" and fake memes about black crime.

As Rump's Fraud Fake-University preached to its fraudsters, 'you don't sell products, benefits or solutions--- you sell FEELINGS". Enter Nosebook, open all night.

Brick and mortar is dying. Mom and Pop need to be more creative. Amazon will never compete with a good restaurant or something else in the service industries.
