On May 13, according to foreign media reports, United States presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday that the Amazon "serious antitrust issues."
In a Fox News interview, Trump said, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) is using the power of the media to influence the politicians in Washington, DC, to give tax benefits to the Amazon. Bezos owns the Washington Post, and the Washington Post are closely watching Trump's campaign.
The Washington Post had sent 20 reporters to know Trump at different stages of life. Trump was asked in the interview that he is ready to accept this level of review in the campaign. Trump says: "Bezos has the Washington Post is like having a toy. He is using to get power to the Washington Post, Washington, DC politicians not in compliance should have been the way to taxes on Amazon. ”
He said: " Bezos would the Washington Post for political purposes, in areas such as tax and antitrust save the Amazon . "" Bezos is very worried about me, I think he said to other people about it. In some reports, he thought, I shall be antitrust sights on him. He has a serious antitrust problem because he controls too much. For the work they are engaged in, and controls many of the Amazon . ”
Amazon has not yet responded to Trump's remarks.
Vox Web site believes that Bezos does have the Washington Post, but Trump Amazon tries to gain political influence and to tax avoidance has become obsolete. Since there is no charge and pay sales tax, so Amazon retailers relative to the entity to obtain certain advantages. However, several State Governments have started to amend the law, already covered United States 77% people in 25 States asked Amazon to charge sales tax, with the other 3 States without sales taxes.
In fact, Amazon and Trump said the opposite. Amazon is calling on Congress to amend the law to make business easier for companies to collect sales tax. The reasons for this is that Amazon is huge, and many States have asked Amazon to pay sales taxes, relatively smaller e-commerce company that has yet to comply with such a request.
In addition, the Washington Post in the United States political coverage has had a long history. The newspaper sent more reporters to cover the Trump Trump hardly has a lock on the Republican presidential candidate's qualifications. Trump comments is more like a revenge to the Amazon. In addition, he did not specify how the adjustment of anti-monopoly policy, strengthen monitoring on Amazon.
美国总统候选人特朗普狠批亚马逊：存在严重反垄断问题 - 特朗普,亚马逊 - IT资讯
5月13日消息，据国外媒体报道，美国总统候选人特朗普周四表示，亚马逊存在“严重的反垄断问题”。
在接受福克斯新闻采访时，特朗普表示，亚马逊CEO杰夫·贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）正利用媒体的力量去影响华盛顿特区的政治家，从而给亚马逊带来税务方面的利益。贝索斯拥有《华盛顿邮报》，而《华盛顿邮报》正在密切关注特朗普的竞选活动。
《华盛顿邮报》派出了20名记者去了解特朗普人生的不同阶段。特朗普在此次采访中被问到，他是否准备好在竞选活动中接受这种程度的审视。特朗普表示：“贝索斯拥有《华盛顿邮报》就像是拥有一件玩具。他正在用《华盛顿邮报》去获取权力，让华盛顿特区的政治家不按本来应当的方式去对亚马逊收税。”
他认为：“贝索斯将《华盛顿邮报》用于政治目的，在税务和反垄断等方面挽救了亚马逊。”“贝索斯很担心我，我认为他对其他人说过这件事。在一些报道中，他认为，我将会在反垄断方面盯上他。他存在严重的反垄断的问题，因为他控制得太多。对于他们正在从事的工作，亚马逊控制着很多。”
亚马逊尚未对特朗普的言论做出回应。
Vox网站认为，贝索斯确实拥有《华盛顿邮报》，但特朗普关于亚马逊试图获得政治影响力，从而去避税的说法早已过时。由于没有收取及缴纳销售税，因此亚马逊相对于实体零售商获得了一定的优势。然而，多个州政府已开始修订法律，目前已有覆盖美国77%人口的25个州要求亚马逊收取销售税，还有另3个州没有设置销售税。
实际上，亚马逊的做法与特朗普所说的恰恰相反。亚马逊正呼吁国会修订法律，使电商公司能更方便地收取销售税。这样做的原因在于，亚马逊的规模很大，许多州已经要求亚马逊缴纳销售税，相对而言较小的一些电商公司则尚未遵守这样的要求。
此外，《华盛顿邮报》在美国的政治新闻报道方面已有悠久的历史。该报派出更多记者去报道特朗普是因为特朗普几乎锁定了共和党总统候选人的资格。特朗普此番言论更像是对亚马逊的一种报复。此外，他也没有具体提出将如何调整反垄断政策，加强对亚马逊的监管。
