Every Time Trump Has Ripped Amazon and Jeff Bezos on Twitter
Read MoreHide Full Article
President Donald Trump took to Twitter early Wednesday morning to voice his disdain for online retail king Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) . But this wasn’t the first time the president used the social media platform to attack Amazon. In fact, he has ripped the company on Twitter almost a dozen times.
Shares of Amazon dipped premarket after President Trump’s 3 a.m. Twitter criticism. Amazon stock fell by around 0.85% in early morning trading, but it has climbed its way back since then and hovers roughly 0.10% lower than yesterday’s close right now.
President Trump’s attacks on Amazon aren’t new, but calling out the online retail company for destroying American jobs is a fresh wrinkle—on Twitter at least.
President Trump has criticized Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos in the past. According to the website Trump Twitter Archive, the president has mentioned Amazon by name 20 times on Twitter, but his early posts simply promoted his book which was being sold on Amazon.
However, after Trump announced he would run for president on June 16, 2015, his Twitter mentions of Amazon changed into attacks on the company and its chief executive.
Trump’s first three Tweets were fired off in succession in December 2015, and all attacked Amazon and Bezos about taxes and the Washington Post, which Bezos owns.
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.
President Trump began to continually harass Amazon and the Washington Post as one entity under the Bezos umbrella and often mentioned fake news in the same breath.

President Trump began his negative Twitter attacks against Amazon in December 2015 when the company’s stock price sat at roughly $675 a share. Today’s attack was followed by a small decline in share price. But even with Wednesday’s dip, shares of Amazon rest at around $980 a share.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
