A Viewer Writes: Copy of email I just sent to President Donald Trump....hope he gets it:

Dear Pres. Trump, we voted for you, and while we do not agree with all of your positions, we will probably vote for you again. However, please lay off Amazon! We know you don't like Jeff Bezos, but when is the last time you actually did a lot shopping for daily items? We purchase items from a wide variety of categories from Amazon. We are on a fixed income, and we save a ton of $ by using Amazon.... for example: Just purchased 10 of CR2016 Energizer batteries from Amazon for $5.89, with free shipping, 2-day delivery. One battery at my local store costs $6.00 and I have to use my time and my car/mileage/gasoline. Stores like Amazon are the future. Times do change. FACT: Amazon has helped us save hundreds of dollars each year.

So you saving a couple of $$$ is your only Interst? But the Billions that could be collected in taxes to support the Wall Military wct ect means nothing ?

Shopping on Amazon is a no-brainer for us, too. We ponied up $99 for Amazon prime and have an Amazon Visa credit card that we use for all of our purchases, the one that gives us 5% back on all Prime purchases and 1-3% back on everything else we buy with it, including gas, groceries, restaurants, etc.
We do check prices online before we buy. Amazon doesn't always have the best price, even with discounts, but it's always near the top and definitely ahead of the game over most brick and mortar stores.

Amazon charges state taxes for most of the stuff we buy.

To all of the above posters: Thanks for underwriting the Washington Post, and supporting the Amazon fulfillment factories. The world's richest man gives you a thumbs up!

Yeah, and more people will be wanting to
shop Amazon when they see what's going to
happen to Prices here in Stores in the
coming future.
I voted Trump but for sure don't approve
of him saying a " Price War" would be good.
Good of Who ????

you are missing the big picture. your taxes subsidize the post office, so how about mr bezo's ponies up since he's the one using it and I'll take a break on my taxes?
analytical thinking is quite possibly out of your realm!
Amerika is f'd with morons like you allowed to vote!

I have sent 80 emails and 14 letters to him asking him to reopen up the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton and the emails.
Comey was not legally allowed to recommend no prosecution, he is an investigator, Lynch was the prosecutor at that time, and it was up to her to dismiss, not this bought and paid for idiot!

LOCK HER UP!

Aside from satisfaction, Clinton behind bars does not...DOES NOT put food on the table or pay the bills.

The constant fascination of her is beyond comprehension. She lost, is a has been and is very much history. Lets ALL move on!

Trump's rich buddies hate Amazon. Their businesses are losing to Amazon. That is why he is going after Amazon. Amazon has their own planes and delivery systems and is scaling back usage of the USPS. The PO sucks at delivery anyway.
