> Apparently the whole bid process is now on hold, not because of anything AWS did wrong, but because, well, Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which Donald Trump does not appreciate, and so it’s all a mess. This isn't even Amazon's problem, I'm not sure what anyone is meant to do about the President of the USA being a petulant child, other than just take their lumps.

Yes, if AWS is losing out because a politician doesn't like the founder that's a failure of your country's democratic process and defies everything the US purports to stand for. Sure, spinning AWS might be the prudent thing to do from shareholder's point of view in the short term. But doing so, makes things extraordinarily hard for the very same shareholders in the medium to long term.
