Reports showing that Trump seems hell bent on a war with Jeff Bezos of Amazon. He keeps referencing the deal that the US postal service has with Amazon as being a rip off to the average American even though previous advisers have told him that is not the case. Of course in order for that to be the case Trump would have to care about the American people and of course he couldn't care less if they burst into flames.
What really seems to be behind it is the fact that Jeff Bezos is the owner of The Washington Post and he thinks they do not give him a favourable view. So he is using Twitter to attack Amazon, undermine its public perception and then use his power as POTUS to cancel a pending contract they have with US Government as well as renegotiate their deal with The Post Office all to punish Bezos & The Washington Post
He is literally using his power to try and shape the media into being pro Trump

Chinese playing it cute at the moment only done 3bn when US done 50bn if they wanted to they could cripple the US if they stopped buying treasurys
Wow Shooting at Youtube HQ
Yeah just seen, interesting to see when and how trump will react.
Update: statement from whitehouse in next few minutes
Just seen an interview with the San Bruno Chief of Police, they have come across a body of a woman with a self inflicted gunshot would that the believe to be the perpetrator. Which in itself is very rare, incidents like these and indeed violent crime in general are dominated by males.
Trump goes with the standard "thoughts and prayers", I really hope in the coming months the teens of the Parkland shootings go on a voter registration drive to get young people on the register and hit pro-gun lawmakers in the midterms
^^
yep trump has just wheeled out the "Thoughts and Prayers" statement
And its started China now put 50billion of tarriffs on things like Soya Beans, Cars, Chemicals and Aircraft

It's interesting though he is actually breaking the law by doing these tweets against amazon. if a normal person tells lies about a company and the share price dives its called Securities Fraud
Former Director of the CIA tweets to Trump.
