Have you always been this literal minded? It's simplistic to think that AMZN is hermetically sealed off from the WaPo because legally the two entities have nothing to do with each other. Trump's insinuation isn't as strong as what you claim it is. He is at most suggesting that WaPo may be serving AMZN interests in a de facto, not de jure, capacity. Frankly, I think that he's just using Amazon as a symbol for Bezos because people know what Amazon is and what it means for businesses. They don't necessarily know who Bezos is. It allows him to associate whatever negative associations Amazon may have in his electorate with the WaPo. On the other hand, it may have been as simple as a humorous quip. In any case, you should relax.
- heartbreak 9y agoLet’s see... the President tweeted several times last night about Amazon and WaPo. No, it doesn’t look like a humorous quip to me. It looks like he knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s inventing a narrative and using that nonsense to interfere with an acquisition.
