President Donald Trump wants Amazon to increase the amount it pays to the US Postal System for its shipping needs instead of using it "as their Delivery Boy," according to a recent report from Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman.

Trump has reignited his criticism campaign against Jeff Bezos and Amazon in recent weeks, taking to Twitter to argue that the e-commerce giant takes advantage of the USPS' delivery rounds by mixing its packages in with the rest. He's also said that Amazon doesn't pay its fair share in taxes, and according to Vanity Fair, he wants Amazon to pay the USPS more in shipping costs.

This would effectively solve two issues Trump has with Amazon: That the company doesn't pay its fair share of taxes, and that the USPS actually loses "a fortune" because of its deliveries, as he tweeted on Monday:

Trump doesn't seem interested in the counter-argument some have shared that Amazon might have helped reinvigorate the postal service after it lost some steam due to e-mail. One of the people arguing that point was Trump's top economic advisor Gary Cohn, who no longer serves the President.
Please note this passage from the article...Amazon might have helped reinvigorate the postal service after it lost some steam due to e-mail.

Ciould this possibly be an abuse of power? LOL

There are real problems with Amazon.

First, its political arm (W Post) should register as a lobbyist because it is more political than ever.

Second, why should taxpayers help fund Amazon's delivery process?

So let me get something straight here.....Trump wants to prop up NK, build a hotel in Moscow, save some Chinese Telecom company and...destroy Amazon?

Who's fucking team is he on?

There are real problems with News Corporation.

First, its political arm (FOXnews) should register as a lobbyist because it is more political than ever.

Second, why should taxpayers help fund every corporation in America by giving them a huge tax cut when the National debt should be paid down instead?

Learn to read and comprehend Elk, the Post Office is part of the Gov and supported by taxpayers. Have the kid next door research it for you.

Thanks for admitting your a complete idiot. Fox like it or not is more fair then any of the rest. Why else would you libs keep whining about it.

Why shouldn't a business keep what ITS earned. Its not your business or your money. No matter how much you say it.

See, johnny? namandgulfdumbfuck thinks "your"(sic) a complete idiot. Amazon, like it or not, is more fair "then"(sic) any of the rest. Why else would you conservatives keep whining about it?

Why shouldn't a business keep what "ITS earned"(sic)? Why should their contract be broken and taxpayers take their money? Its not your business or your money unless you buy something from Amazon. Then namandgulfdumbfuck believes you are just taking taxpayers' money if you arbitrarily raise shipping rates on Amazon and its taxpayer patrons for partisan political purposes. No matter how much you say it. Why shouldn't Amazon be treated exactly like all the other businesses who have contracts with the post office?

Thanks for the support, namandgulfdumbfuck.......you imbecile. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another FAIL! by the Clown! A business can keep what its made. But subsidizing its shipping cost on the back of Taxpayers is liberal logic bullshit.. IN this case they need to pay for shipping not me.

Namandgulfdumbfuck is too much of a dumbfuck to understand that the corporation NEVER pays for shipping. The consumer does.

Amazon has a contract, and to conservatives a contract is simply something for suckers to be broken when it's convenient.
To get back at Bezos, Trump wants to raise U.S. Postal Service shipping prices on all of America's companies and consumers who ship through the postal service. But won't namandgulfdumbfuck be surprised when Amazon flees the post office (increasing its losses) and ships by FEDex or UPS instead, leaving taxpayers to foot the increased Postal Service losses.

Oh, wait...namandgulfdumbfuck never buys anything. He couldn't care less if shipping costs go up on the rest of America.
He also couldn't care less if the Post Office fails. My bad.

Elkin, you are quite entitled to your opinions, even though they are juvenile and kneejerk leftist.

But Elkin, if you really think you are brighter than any person on this forum, you are sadly mistaken.

There are posts on the ranch with a higher IQ than Elkin.

Well if you don't like the pricing then tell Trump to renegotiate the contract you dumb fucktard!

Now you can pay more for the shit that Amazon ships you!!!
