Do you remember when Republicans lamented Walmart destroying small town main street?

Funny, neither do I.

Yet now the President sees Amazon as a threat to brick and mortar business, as opposed to a cost-cutter putting money back into consumer pockets (which used to be called the Walmart Effect).

1) Is it possible the President has a lot of friends in commercial real estate that own dead malls?

2) Is it possible that the President sees Amazon as a key customer of the USPS - an institution his party despises and wishes to destroy?

3) Is it possible that the President sees Jeff Bezos, who has $100B in assets and owns the WaPo, as a threat?

This story sounds like BS to me. Debunking appreciated

Similar story on Daily Caller

Synopsis: A social worker named Storm Durham was allegedly fired for simply having a concealed carry permit. The story rings false and the similarity in names to Stormy Daniels is too close to be coincidence.
