Trump can't stand being second to anyone. I'm surprised any conservative/GOP would defend the tweet, which basically calls for a new tax, which pre-Trump, was a pox for any GOP President. Yet Trump is defended, gets a pass...
I don't think anybody actually defended Trump, at least on this post.
I know that I stated clearly that I'm against a new tax on internet sales.
Trouble is, the trump-hate is so deep that otherwise intelligent people are rendered to blubbering idiots.
If Trump has a million lies, why do we see such fervor over this tweet, which is not a lie if a reasonable person reads it. Sure, our crazed friend Victor keeps crying about the term "internet tax", but sound logic reveals the true intent which was to poke Bezos who owns the dreaded Post and is CEO of that mom and pop Amazon thingy.
So I repeat: The tweet is ridiculous. It shouldn't be tweeted by the POTUS. It's petty and it suggest a new tax that I would be opposed to.
Sorry for defending trump so adamantly...
