Not exactly. Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013. I can see how that’s confusing to Trump. I’m sure that picking a direct fight with Jeff and Amazon is going to go well for Trump. OTOH, given all the other shit he’s stepped in, what does he care. ---

No, the WaPo is not paying taxes because said taxes don’t exist. That’s stupid, anyone can do it. Trump avoided paying taxes that do exist by losing a third of his fortune in a boom economy. THAT is something only a Trump can do. ---

Yes, I realize the tax doesn’t exist, but Trump apparently does not. And in his mind not paying taxes is a smart thing to do. So giving all these tax cuts to rich Trump is in a way making them smarter - and because they are so smart, they deserve to be rich etc… And why you think everybody made so much money while Trump crashed - obviously that money came from Trump, so he actually supported the whole USA single handed, and as his hands are so small the rest of him must be YUGE. So Make Donald Crash Again, and everybody’s better off. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > And then goes on to say, “not paying internet taxes (which they should)” wtf is he even referring to? I didn’t know there was a tax on the Internet. My guess is that he’s referring to state sales taxes on purchases made on Amazon. Some states, but not all, make Amazon collect sales tax from buyers from those states. Trump seems to be saying that Amazon should collect sate sales tax from buyers from all states which have a state sales tax. Which is a strange position to take when he bragged that not paying taxes makes you smart. ---

I wonder if his staff has decided to just let him have twitter instead of driving them all crazy about the Russia investigation. ---

i guess Old Dickory doesn’t like Joe and Mika anymore. It’s only about a year ago that they were friends and Joe was lobbing him softballs about his golf game. These are a new low for Trump, I think. Really hateful and in a personal way So, hot off the twitter, I got a CNN alert so hang on for the blowback. > > ---

It’s both hateful and vulgar. And fucking childish. Something a 10 year old might say.
