A single Donald Trump tweet just lost Amazon $6 billion in value

Donald Trump knocked $6 billion off of Amazon before most of the country was awake.In a tweet sent at 6:12 a.m. EST, Trump claimed Amazon was "doing great damage to tax paying retailers," resulting in the loss of jobs.

The move isn't life threatening for Amazon, which is still worth in excess of $460 billion. It does, however, highlight growing concern that Trump may be willing to target Amazon, which has already stirred rumblings about the need for greater regulation to limit the company's growing power.
Amazon began to draw Trump's ire in late 2015 due to CEO Jeff Bezos's ownership of the Washington Post, which aggressively reported on the Trump campaign.
Trump went after Bezos, claiming that his ownership of the Post was so that he could reduce Amazon taxes. This wouldn't work, since the Post and Amazon are two entirely separate companies.

That was just the beginning. Since then, Trump has on three other occasions launched tweets at Amazon, including the time the president threatened Amazon with an 'internet tax.'

Trump's latest tweet on Wednesday appears to have been spurred by a Washington Posteditorial published Tuesday night entitled "The nation can only weep," which calls out Trump's response after Charlottesville. Lee Hnetinka , WunWun , Gawker , Valleywag , CEO , Hamptons
 "That car in Charlottesville did not kill or wound just the 20 bodies it struck. It damaged the nation. Mr. Trump not only failed to help the country heal; he made the wound wider and deeper," the Post editorial wrote.

Why Are Jared and Ivanka Partying in the Hamptons With Chuck Schumer?

Jon Wiener: Jared Kushner has serious legal problems stemming from the Russia investigations, but they have not prevented him from going out. Amy Wilentz: Jared and Ivanka went to a party given by Lally Weymouth on July 4th weekend in the Hamptons. Lally Weymouth is a socialite, but she’s also the senior associate editor of The Washington Post, because of nepotism. Her mother was the editor and publisher of The Washington Post: Katherine Graham. Republicans were there: In addition to Ivanka and Jared, Kellyanne Conway, and David Koch of the Koch brothers. Also Dina Powell, the deputy national-security adviser in the Trump White House. On the other hand, Chuck Schumer was also there, along with top Democratic funders George Soros and Stephen Spielberg. Various members of the global financial community were also there—all at this party, sipping champagne together, side by side—making you wonder who’s running the world. JW: But we are told that the Democrats and Republicans hav...
