Billionaire Jeff Bezos officially launched an attack on President Donald Trump

Until now, billionaire Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump didn’t have a good relationship, like Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. But things are getting worse, after Amazon slipped the Defense Department’s $ 10 billion JEDI contract into the hands of rival Microsoft.

According to a shocking report yesterday, CNBC said Amazon wanted to suspend President Donald Trump’s power, to determine whether Mr. Trump personally played a role in Microsoft winning the JEDI contract. 10 billion USD or not.

Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) is a cloud-based defense infrastructure contract. The Pentagon had previously discussed it with Amazon and was fairly certain that the e-commerce giant would get this $ 10 billion contract. But the end result was quite unexpected, when Microsoft was the winner.

In its fierce statement, Amazon said it wanted to determine whether Mr. Trump would interfere with the government’s activities for personal gain. An Amazon spokesman also frankly asserted that President Donald Trump has repeatedly used his powers to interfere with Government activities.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos and President Donald Trump have had a discord for years. Mr. Trump especially criticized The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos. Trump also criticized Amazon for not paying enough taxes and trying to avoid tax by reducing most of the tax burden abroad.

In a trial last December, Amazon accused President Donald Trump of organizing behind-the-scenes attacks, so that Amazon would not get a JEDI contract. Amazon cited the memoirs of former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who said Mr. Trump wanted Amazon to not win this important contract.

In any case, the opportunity for President Donald Trump to suspend all power as Amazon wishes is very unlikely. The representative of the US President did not have any feedback on this incident. But if anything is certain, it’s the battle between billionaire Jeff Bezos and President Donald Trump has just begun, and it could get even worse.
