Trump bashes Amazon for a fourth time in a week, claiming the post office loses 'massive amounts' se

[ABX]

I would not be surprised if Amazon doesn't file a lawsuit against the administration (maybe they are planning to - they are letting him reel the rope out for them). Trump is knowingly lying about the post office & Amazon's deal.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter for the fourth time in one week to bash e-commerce company Amazon on Tuesday.
This time, the president reinforced his assessment that Amazon's business is costing taxpayers "many billions of dollars" through subsidized rates at the United States Post Office......

As a reference- the USPS (and taxpayers) are not subsidizing Amazon's package delivery- they are actually still making a profit. USPS's losses have nothing to do with that but are related to their pension fund - http://time.com/5226036/donald-trump-amazon-postal-service/

Seems to me Trump's actions are criminal and should be stopped.  Government has no right that I know of to interfere in a business like this.  At the very least, I hope Bezos takes him to court - civil or criminal.

And where is congress in all this?  Do our elected representatives have a legal recourse to stop Trump from trying to destroy Amazon?  Seems to me they should. I thought we had a system of checks and balances in the US. 

This president's actions, if not illegal, are definitely unethical.  Someone please stop him. 

By the way, @AbaraXas  --Trump supporters, it seems, don't really care about the truth.  Trump has told them to hate Amazon and like sheep, they follow their leader.

I wouldn't be surprised if he next tries to weaponized the IRS against them.

The same place they were when Obama was busy destroying those entities and businesses he decided he despised.

The Republicans already surrendered their authority to the Executive branch under Obama.  Now it is just par-for-the-course to do whatever the Democrats want.  Or - if the Executive acts just like a Democrat and worse.

That Trump should engage in the public destruction of a corporation simply because he is jealous and the owner is not loyal to him, is one of the greatest of examples of Fascism we have adopted as our politics to date.

Republicans have failed to serve as a check on Trump.  They are begging to have their butts kicked in the next election.  Then the cycle starts over.  I truly believe political parties will be the death of our republic.

We read from followers over and over during the campaign that they wanted someone to use 'Democrat tactics against them....' well be careful what you wish for, you just may get it.

If he does that should be an impeach able offense.

I wonder if Trump does it, I wonder how many people here would support such move.

He could abort a baby on 5th Avenue wearing an ISIS headscarf and his supporters would call him the greatest pro-life president in history.

Why?  Is Lois Lerner in jail yet?

Last I checked, such an offense was treated by the Republican Party as grounds for a hearing only - and that was all.

So now, weaponizing the Alphabets against political opponents is now a permissible and legal precedent that will be used heretofore from now on.

You know, if we measured Deceitful Donnie by his own standards (where he wants to “open up our libel laws” and "...have people sue [journalists] like [they’ve] never got [sic] sued before"), he'd have his considerable behind handed to him.  He's a man child of no class, no decency, no ethics.
