There’s a New Problem With Trump’s Attacks on Amazon

President Donald Trump has recently ramped up his attacks against Amazon
and its founder Jeff Bezos for not paying enough in local and state taxes.
While there are plenty of problems with the president’s criticism, it looks as
if hypocrisy might be a new one.

Amazon collects taxes in 45 states, but the Wall Street Journal reported
Friday that the president’s own online store—which offers an array of Trump-
branded items including Trump wine glasses, baseball caps, and golf accessories—pays
local taxes in only two states, Florida and Louisiana. Though the web store claims it is
headquartered in Trump Tower in New York City, it doesn’t appear to pay New York state
taxes either.
