You don't see his angle? Trump's? Amazon is owned by the guy who owns The Washington Post, and if Donald hates anything we know he hates the non-fake news free press.

And what's depressing is that you don't hear Republicans / "small-government conservatives" coming down on Donald for going to war with a private company. Whatever happened to "government shouldn't be picking winners and losers"? But I guess that's what you get when you have a president who governs by what he sees on Fox and Friends.

I'm sure that's a factor, but you know as well as I do that when Trump has a goal, he'll pursue it ad nauseam. 

The Washington Post is extremely biased, so they're inviting an emotional President's attention. While I agree that a President shouldn't generally target private companies, Amazon is an exception since they do business with the Post Office. His argument about the Post Office is wrong, but since Amazon works extensively with the federal government, they're not above the President's attention--right or wrong.
