Donald Trump jumps on anti-tech bandwagon, gets everything wrong
Combining his three favorite pastimes trying to steal the news cycle, getting all his facts wrong, and spreading brain farts on Twitter Donald Trump went on anti-Amazon tirade on Thursday.
While Facebook continues to be hauled over the coals for its loose relationship with the truth, and Google looks down with its hands stuffed in its pockets hoping no one notices it, it has fallen to the man who became president of the United States to make the case against the ecommerce giant.
"I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election," began the man who allegedly asked a porn star to spank him with a magazine that featured a picture of himself on the front cover.
"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!"
The tweet would appear to be an effort to ride the wave of anti-tech coverage in the news recently, although Trump avoided any mention of the main focus of that ire, Facebook.
No doubt that was because the entire scandal is about how a company that his campaign paid had possibly used dubiously acquired personal data to feed to people's prejudices and encourage them to vote for a man with no real experience and countless character flaws as president.
But, as with most of the president's electronic outbursts, he managed to get everything wrong.
