GOP nominee Donald Trump has made a few outrageous statements since beginning his candidacy. Some of it may be taken out of context, since news must be sold at all costs. However, the latest Trump news has Amazon in the title. President candidate Donald Trump has Amazon and Jeff Bezos in his sights for destruction. Earlier in his campaign, Trump went after Muslims, Mexicans, and Apple. His political strategy may be shock and awe. But when will this tactic put him at a disadvantage? Taking on Amazon is risky, sine almost everyone on the planet love Amazon. Everyone except eBay and Walmart, as the online consumer platform outranked eBay and Walmart on the world’s most valuable brands list.
Trump Publicly Attacks Amazon
Trump is known for public vomit mouth. Saying whatever comes to mind at any particular moment. Or at least it appears that way. On the “Hannity” show, Trump publicly attacked Jeff Bezos and Amazon. To Trump’s defense, Bezos did provoke The Donald after ordering a slew of reporters to start digging into his life. Bezos owns the Washington Post, so yeah, he can do that kind of stuff. Trump called the Washington Post a toy. And that Amazon is not filing proper taxes. Correlating the two as political controllers for Bezos’ whims. Trump insisted that Bezos should not be getting away with it, calling it a matter of antitrust.
Could This Be True, Can One Man Have Too Much Power?
If The Donald is concerned about one man wielding too much power by owning too many large corporations, then he may want to take a look in the mirror. How is he funding his campaign again? The fact is that Amazon is paying taxes. It has also lobbied for an Internet sales tax, which an evil online consumer platform wouldn’t normally do. The Washington Post is still a credible news source with reporters doing what they have traditionally done. Report. Report on presidential races and the candidates who know reporters will be looking into their lives in detail.
Walmart and eBay Fans Find Hope
If Trump is elected president, it could be bad news for Bezos. And this may lead to some happy eBay and Walmart fans. Online consumer platform eBay was ranked 52 on the world’s most valuable brands list, worth $68.9 billion. Walmart was ranked 22 on the same list with a worth of $261.3 billion. Walmart is worth roughly $100 billion more than Amazon. Yet Amazon is ranked 12 on the most valuable brands list. Trump’s comments against Bezos may be an inviting moment for Walmart and eBay.
