It's hard to predict how this will go with Trumps base. They've been brainwashed into believing a lot of things that are against their own interests.

But ... anytime I hear someone talk about how much they love Amazon, I ask them to read this:

And I wish I could say I've completely boycotted them since this was published, but at least I'm down to about an order every six months or so.

Amazon is a good example of when the enemy of your enemy is still not your friend.

Then I buy from eBay where it's often cheaper and with free shipping,
without having to have purchased Amazon Prime.
