Trump Rage-Tweets About Amazon, Wants ‘Fake Washington Post’ To Register As Lobbyist
Earlier in the week, it was reported that President Donald Trump wanted to go hard after mega tech company Amazon, with a source saying that Trump is “obsessed.” Apparently, a number of the president’s real estate friends have complained that Amazon is killing their brick-and-mortar retail businesses.

This morning, Trump continued to rage-tweet about the company. And this time around, he added in another Jeff Bezos property that he has consistently whined about — The Washington Post.

published a story this morning about Trump’s businesses and how the Mueller probe and Stormy Daniels lawsuit could lead to the secretive Trump Organization finally being forced to open its books. So this could also be a bit of a subtweet from the president regarding that story.
