Trump trains crosshairs on favorite target, again: Amazon

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump returned to a favorite target Friday, saying that the U.S. Postal Service should charge Amazon.com more money to ship the millions of packages it sends around the world each year.

Amazon has been a consistent recipient of Trump’s ire. He has accused the company of failing to pay “internet taxes,” though it’s never been made clear by the White House what the president means by that.

In a tweet Friday, Trump said Amazon should be charged “MUCH MORE” by the post office because it’s “losing many billions of dollars a year” while it makes “Amazon richer.”

Amazon lives and dies by shipping, and increasing rates that it negotiations with the post office, as well as shippers like UPS and FedEx, could certainly do some damage.

If Trump had a functioning brain he'd know the reason that the USPS is losing money is because the GOP congress has required they fund their pensions decades in advance. In addition many of my Amazon orders have arrived FedEx.
