Slippery Slide To Third World Status
Before 6AM today, the President tweeted:
[quote]Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost![/quote]
Background: Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon owns the Washington Post.
So, as the WaPo continues to provide factual coverage, and reports the real story, and seeing that people don't believe Trump's claims (that the WaPo is fake news), he's going after the owner (who does not actually get involved in the WaPo's content).
Amazon is one of America's success stories, it employs hundreds of thousands of people, and has made $Bs in investments in this country's manufacturing and infrastructure. But, because the WaPo refused to become FoxNews, then let's use the power of government to shut them up.
Doesn't this sound like something a third rate, third world dictator would do?
