Several years ago, Amazon didn't collect state or local taxes because states didn't require it. The laws were changed and Amazon now does collect those taxes wherever they exist. His scummy developer buddies and crooked real estate investors at Mar a Lago probably remember the former situation and don't even know about the latter.

Never forget that every bit of information he picks up is from Fox News and his personal acquaintances. (I don't think he's had a real friend since his mentor, Roy Cohn died.)
