Trump drops Amazon's stock price by $5.7 billion with one tweet

[Space]

First, God-Emperor Trump fires a missile.



And then it hits its target.

Donald Trump just devalued Amazon's stock by 5.7 BILLION dollars, with a single tweet.

You guys remember Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, and what specific newspaper he owns, right?

The Washington Post.

This is racist somehow

 

[Exception]

As someone that owns quite a bit, and is currently outside restricted trading window, FUCK YES.

Is the President supposed to be damaging business? Amazon has 340,000 employees. It seems like an odd thing to celebrate.

[jamel]

Can Trump please tweet "stop watching or caring about the Kardashians."

 

[regmma123]

sarcasm aside, worst president ever

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Seriously this idiot out dummies himself every day.

A few months ago he was taking credit for amazon job creation in the US and for the strong stock market-- now he wants to drop words that could affect his own perceived success on the economy??

This stooge is indirectly riding high on a strong market and economy but still cant help himself to try and fuck it up.

brillant.

Literally all he has to do is shut up to score points.

 

[TrippleOG]

Amazon’s shares lost 1.2 per cent of their value in two hours of pre-market trading after Mr Trump's comments. They regained the lost value after markets opened in New York, trading down up 0.33 per cent by lunchtime

Id ask if OP actually read the article, but we all know the answer already.

 

[Thunderflash500]

It's over priced anyway.

 

[RockstarChris]

[Lead]

It went down less than 10 and that's 987 to 978. I thought I was going to see a deal... bullshit

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Trump just slayed one of the biggest capitalist fat cats in the world. Leftists everywhere rejoice!

They're currently in the process of eliminating up to 90% of those jobs. Amazon is hardly a model corporation. They started out generous but after gaining such a massive market share of online transactions they just work those 340,000 employees to the bone and have since raised prices to offset their generosity.
