Lost me at the first line: "Jeff Bezos is one of President Donald Trump’s biggest critics." How do Jeff's political opinions affect AWS' suitability as a cloud

  It doesn't, but this is the US we're talking about. Thinge get shady here. Trump is the President and theoretically can call the shots at the Pentagon if he wants to. Bezos is the CEO of Amazon, which, despite having the most popular service, is a company that Trump doesn't like. Oracle has spent probably billions at this point over the decades lobbying Washington. Safra is working very hard to pull strings to keep this contract in the good ol' boy network, considering the hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each and every major branch of government spends on Oracle stuff every year.

  It's also not true. Bezos has said very little about Trump. Trump is mostly pissed because he owns WaPo which reports on his misdeeds.
