485. Politicians need to stop reacting to the substance of his personal attacks, and focus

Tue Apr 3, 2018, 08:40 AM

Apr 2018

and focus on the fact that he's using his position to try to harm other people and businesses that he has a personal war with.

The stock market lost tons of money yesterday because of his statements about Amazon.

I do have a problem with Amazon, now. It has gotten so huge that its size alone allows it to gain an advantage that is unbelievable, and put hundreds of other businesses out of business. It is also buying up competitors. At some point, it becomes similar to an antitrust issue. Amazon wants to be the ONLY retailer, and it is headed that way.

WalMart did the same thing years ago. But Amazon's business plan makes WalMart look like peanuts.

But Trump isn't really concerned about that. He's concerned with the fact that the owner, Bezos, owns the Washington Post and is a "fake news" host that hits him repeatedly. Bezos is his stated enemy. That's what Trump cares about. He wants to make the multi-billionaire NOT a multi-billionaire. He's probably laughing right now at all the money Bezos lost yesterday because of Trump's tweet. Trump doesn't care that tens of thousands of 401k funds ALSO lost a lot of money.

Sanders played into Trump's scheme by carrying the water for Trump, instead of calling him on using his bully pulpit for a personal vendetta.
