Six foot circus peanut Donald Trump has an issue with Amazon or the Washington Post or tax shelters or something:
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.

The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter

If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!

This is all very confusing and/or dumb as pointed about by just about everyone on Twitter, but in case you're not totally aware, the Post is owned by by Bezos through Nash Holdings, LLC and Amazon has no stake in the paper whatsoever.
How this arrangement could transform into a tax shelter seems beyond anyone's comprehension, but since facts do not phase POTUS-to-be Trump, we'll just move on.
