On Friday Donald Trump said of Amazon, "If I become President, oh do they have problems. They're going to have such problems." Six months ago Amazon shareholders may have ignored Trump's statement, however, since then Trump has won the last three votes by wide margins, and recently picked up two governors' endorsements. While Amazon did not move much following this news, it may take a hit as Trump gets closer to winning the Republican nomination. The quote follows a claim by Trump that Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos, purchased the Washington Post to buy influence to help Amazon, however, reports say that speculation over the comments is more to do with Trump's belief that Amazon should pay more tax. Trump has also suggested that Apple should be made to manufacture its products in the San Bernardino and be boycotted for its stance in denying the FBI access to the iPhone associated with the US terrorist attacks.
