Trump is partly right about Amazon, but for the wrong reasons

Trump's obsession with Amazon probably has more to do with personal grudge than principle, but its power should nonetheless be checked

Donald Trump has his sights set on Amazon. He is reportedly "obsessed" with the internet commerce giant, and as is his wont, spent Thursday morning tweeting about it. And it's not because he loves online shopping.

"I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!" he said. Trump is allegedly mulling using antitrust measures to knock Amazon down a notch.
