Attacks Amazon and claims it costs the U.S. Postal Service billions
Trump launched a multi-day Twitter attack on Amazon, falsely claiming the company pays "little or no taxes" and causes the U.S. Postal Service "massive" financial losses by using it as a "Delivery Boy." Fact-checkers noted the USPS actually makes money on package delivery and that Trump's animus was likely driven by Jeff Bezos' ownership of the Washington Post.
"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!" — Twitter, March 29, 2018
