Support NeoGAF

[PersonAndStuff]

There are some serious concerns about Amazon but I'd sign over my life to the Amazonian tech gods to see Trump truly brought low.

Yeah I feel like if the option would be between Trump or Amazon running the country, it wouldn't even be close

 

[Kill Your Masters]

He's calling them biased. Which will probably stick, honestly.

With his followers. Which are lost by now and not worth saving, if they still support him today.

 

[Saganator]

Of course he ignores the real issues with Amazon, the way they treat their warehouse employees.

 

[LilZippa]

That makes Amazon smart?

 

[thesoapster]

Of course he ignores the real issues with Amazon, the way they treat their warehouse employees.

Probably the only thing he likes about them.

 

[shira]

No, the coal on comes after the HTTP, not before the Amazon.

Took me a minute to figure that out lul

Jesus this stuff is a buck a pound. How did they pay the miners 100k a year

I really miss having a president. I mean, even though I was not the biggest Bush Jr fan, dude was the president. He acted the part even though he was goofy as hell. Trump is just sitting in the office but not really the president.

As some historians have been putting out on twitter, his behavior is mirroring Nixon when he knew that the noose was getting tighter and the outcome was obvious.

Well there is clearly some sort of mental deterioration when it comes to Trump. People speculate mental illness. His sentence structure over the years has become very simple. Very child like.

Nixon had become a drunk, and that was largely why he was acting so erratic. Once Watergate happened his drinking became even worse.

Right?

I'm getting really frustrated at posters and news paper stories talking about how Donald Trump's base still supports him.

They're his fucking base. That's what a base is. It's the support you can count on no matter what. You take your base for granted, then do whatever the fuck you need to win over people outside of it.

Trump's base still support him. Because no shit they do. He's still clearly losing support however slowly.

Donald Trump on Oprah in the late 80s sounds like a completely different person.

 

[conpfreak]

He's just jealous of Jeff Bezos. Sad!

 

[Regiruler]

I have no clue why he thinks waking up huge potential enemies is a smart idea.

 

[Trickster]

I have no clue why he thinks waking up huge potential enemies is a smart idea.

You made the mistake of assuming he's thinking

 

[SummitAve]

I wonder what kind of prime delivery the president can get.

 

[Salvadora]

Donald Trump on Oprah in the late 80s sounds like a completely different person.

He sounds like exactly the same person.

 

[Smellycat]

Does this mean SNES preorders aren't going to be on Amazon for a while?

 

[Regiruler]

You made the mistake of assuming he's thinking

Reading the other amazon thread though... there may be somewhat of a point in the tweets?

I've changed my mind a bit, I think they're a legitimate target concerning how they impact the macro economy, but it's a bad time to go after them.

 

[paragonpro]

"Fake news" i fucking cant, this man is our president, our country has been failed on a massive level

 

[JustenP88]

I've been expecting him to latch on to that "Amazon eroding jobs" story.

 

[Bsigg12]

More Americans have Amazon Prime than voted for Trump.

[Condom]

Pot blames the kettle

 

[Fergie]

Bezos is about to become the richest person on Earth so I don't think he's too worried

He can just buy the Trump brand altogether. 💀

 

[Imperfected]

I'd sort of rather live in a megacorporate dystopia than modern America. At least in the prior case we're probably going to get cool cybernetics and the absurdly unfair distribution of wealth isn't based almost entirely on race.

 

[Rktk]

Go ahead and increase taxes on corporations then you dummy.

 

[Rookhelm]

Conservatives are so worried about the destruction of the 2nd amendment (which has gone no where), and Trump has managed to destroy the 1st amendment with two words, "Fake News".


The 1st amendment isn't so you can say the n-word without getting in trouble, it's to enable the people (including the press) to keep a critical eye on the president and government. With two words, he's turned the people against the press, so no he can do what he wants and people will eat it up.

 

[Horns]

Just wait until he starts attacking colleges.

 

[Acorn]

His insulting adjectives then name of thing game is slipping.

 

[Fularu]

I can't make head or tails of what he says among all those FAKE NEWS words

I can't believe this is the US president

 

[Kyzer]

if hes saying shit like this he better back that cable monopoly break up

 

[Imperfected]

I can't make head or tails of what he says among all those FAKE NEWS words

I can't believe this is the US president

The essential gist of it is, "The Washington Post better stop printing bad news about me, because I exercise my powers to prevent monopolies against companies that make fun of me!"

It's the same song and dance number he did with Time-Warner. Trump takes a keen interest in corporate law when he's, A) in an immediate position to wield influence and B) been made fun of by a media arm of the company in question.

 

[commedieu]

Why is everyone talking about sales tax?

Retailers don't pay sales tax, consumers do...retailers collect the taxes.

Trump is referring to Amazon's well known business structure meant to avoid paying corporate taxes. Pretty much every big company in the US does similar things but Bezos has been known to attempt even more ridiculous than usual schemes; when he first founded Amazon he tried creating the company with a home adress on a California indian reservation to try to avoid federal taxes.

Trump is an idiot, but "amazon collects sales taxes!" does not refute Trump's claim.

This is the truth. But trump, as we all know, is a moron who isn't qualified to be president, and can't explain what he mean like an adult. So people have to figure out what he truly means.

Isn't Google/apple headquartered on the same Irish city, for tax loopholes?

And as the moron literally bragged about not paying taxes, these companies are doing the same thing. But they are more transparent.

 

[Neith]

I pay so much Amazon taxes now.

 

[dsk1210]

Somebody around him needs to man up and tell him to shut the fuck up, I honestly detest the man, his deflection of everything is wearing thin.

 

[SMG]

Isn't Amazon larger than all of Trump's holdings combined?

Take a guess why he is pissed at them.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Do it Trump. Piss off Amazon and Bezos until it gets to the point that they throw $5 billion in lobbying against everything you stand for.

 

[whitemex88]

He sounds like exactly the same person.

He is coherent and more articulate here. What we have now is just the ramblings of a person deteriorated mental health

"This new company "Amazon" wants to sell books on the internet. Terrible business model - nobody reads! Sad!" - Donald Trump circa 1995, probably

 

[lawnchair]

not me.

Trump will be gone in a few years. the trump nightmare will be over soon. amazon on the other hand ..

 

[ebullientprism]

Ya know I read the title and thought he attacked the Amazon rain forest and not for a second I thought "That cant be right".

Amazon smile link that donates to the 2018 democrat election fund incoming

 

[psyfi]

Alternative title: "Authoritarian leader attacks owner of newspaper critical of him"

Welcome to [insert third world country here]

Welcome to America. This is America.

 

[see5harp]

I've paid taxes at Amazon for years. The only time I sometimes avoid is if the seller is a third party.

 

[m_shortpants]

Trump is jealous that bezos is going to be the richest man in the history of Earth

 

[foxuzamaki]

Fake news officially lost all meaning to me now, I don't know how any one can believe him now whenever he says it

 

[Akuun]

His insulting adjectives then name of thing game is slipping.

I wonder how long he takes to come up with those.

 

[Nictel]

Time to buy Amazon stock

 

[NullPointer]

Call it Amazon Smirk

 

[Whompa02]

You know what, lets just go back to the Barter System. Fuck everything.

 

[avaya]

The funny thing is can't do shit to Amazon. Bezos is virtually untouchable.
