Hmmm....could this tweet be a diversion ?

Link to tweet

I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!

1. Would a wild bear shit in the woods?

2. This guy is an idiot. They pay taxes and also now have their own delivery service. n/t

[PJMcK]

21. Facts?!

You don't expect facts to get in the way of a Trump tweet, do you?!

[RKP5637]

30. FACTS - False Accusations Courtesy of tRump Sucks!

[el_bryanto]

3. Possibly - but it is also something that might appeal to his base

And to small town America; it's not a bad point (feels wrong to say that) but the timing is also clearly beneficial to him.

4. Absolutely, Spanky is worried that Mueller is combing through his tax returns

[PJMcK]

23. That probably happened last year

The Special Counsel had the subpoena power to get Trump's taxes from the IRS from Day One. They would have probably been one of the first pieces of evidence Robert Mueller assembled. The best part is that Trump wouldn't have known because the IRS is not required to inform a tax filer that their records were subpoenaed.

Mr. Mueller's team must have mountains of evidence against Trump and Co. Objectively, it will be fascinating to see the case he will build.

5. No, it's a real thing.

45's rich friends from the retail/mall business complained
about Amazon.

What they really want is a federal tax on Amazon products,
I think.

6. Sucks they don't pay taxes. So why don't you show us your taxes??

[SummerSnow]

7. Every tweet is a diversion

[SHRED]

8. Not one word about Walmart

[syringis]

14. Hi Shred

He can't...where do you want him to shop(lift) after he'll lose whatever left of his pretended wealth ?

[SHRED]

16. LOL

[imanamerican63]

9. Reality just never crosses the idiot's mind!

He is worried about Amazon and their payments of taxes? This from a man who won't show his taxes to the public? Rightttttt!

[smirkymonkey]

10. You know who else pays no taxes?

The NRA and Christian Fundamentalist Megachurches. Why don't you go after them, Spanky?

[RKP5637]

11. Exactly! The religious pushers get away with everything. n/t

[syringis]

12. Hi dear, how are you ?

He doesn't go after them because CFM are used to spank hard with a paddle or something like that, and NRA...well...do you really think the draft dodger will risk to anger the NRA ?

[smirkymonkey]

17. Hi Syringis! Good to see you!

How are you feeling? Better, I hope. I know why he doesn't go after them, because they are his base and he is a total hypocrite. He is only calling out Amazon because he hates Jeff Bezos for saying "mean" things about him in the Washington Post. Poor little Spanky! Everyone is so mean to him!

[syringis]

20. Well, still bedridden...I've explained in DU lounge

Yes everyone is mean to the poor Spanky !

Even a nasty foreigner who doesn't even live in the US...

[karynnj]

13. Bezos, CEO of Amazon, owns the Washington Post

The WP, along with the NYT, has investigated Trump, aides, etc. Is this itimidation?

[NCTraveler]

15. His base hates Bezos.

He doesn’t leave campaign mode.

[democratisphere]

18. I pay sales tax with every order sourced and fulfilled from an Amazon facility.

I believe drumpf is hedging for a National Gross Receipts Tax to partially pay for his tax cuts to the wealthiest.

[yallerdawg]

19. "How long has Amazon been charging taxes now...

you stone-cold lying piece of crap? And USPS charges for deliveries, you ignorant asshole! Did you discuss what you were going to tweet with some rich friends before impacting the stock market?"

[malaise]

22. He is using the restored former post office to violate the emoluments clause

Fuck the Con!

[BSdetect]

24. The master of "paying little or no taxes" speaks out against paying little or no taxes.

[FakeNoose]

25. Actually he has tweeted this very thing before

Cheeto was called out by a lot of people because of all the misinformation/disinformation.
Now he's at it again, and there's nobody to stop him from doing it.

[maxrandb]

28. Who wants to bet

that some of his rich buddies are "shorting" Amazon stock today?

[FakeNoose]

29. I'd call that a sure thing

[bronxiteforever]

26. Man frozen in 1950s awakens in 2018, discovers internet.

27. Maybe malls aren't the best use of land

How about tearing them down, building townhouse communities with pools, playgrounds and gyms? Many of them are already near transit.
