Trump also claimed last year that Amazon was not paying internet taxes. He also slammed The Washington Post as “fake news.”

In addition, he questioned whether the newspaper is a “lobbyist weapon” to keep politicians from looking into Amazon and its no-tax monopoly.” Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of the e-commerce giant owns the newspaper.

In 2015, Trump suggested that Amazon’s stock would “crash” and “crumble like a paper bag” if the company had to pay fair taxes.
