Amazon's move to establish a new headquarters in the Washington area will have one immediate political impact: putting CEO Jeff Bezos more in President Donald Trump's face than ever!!!
Bezos' ownership of The Washington Post, which he bought back in 2013, has enraged Trump, sparking Twitter-fueled allegations from the president that Amazon is dodging taxes, ripping off the U.S. Postal Service and putting traditional retailers out of business.
But the CEO's decision to put down corporate roots in the D.C. suburb of Crystal City, Va., injecting some 25,000 jobs into a region Trump has dubbed the "The Swamp," threatens to stoke the president's resentment of the tech mogul.
“Anything that makes Bezos more prominent in Washington is going to irritate Trump and he will take it personally," said Michael D’Antonio, author of the 2015 Trump biography "Never Enough." D’Antonio added: "He will think Bezos made this decision to stick it to him.”
You Go Bezos!
