Amazon is now the USA's most valuable publicly-traded company by market value:

Amazon's ended trading Monday with a market value of about $797 billion, compared with Microsoft's $783 billion. Apple, which had been part of a close three-way race for the seat, is now down to about $702 billion in market value after plunging last week on the news of its weak iPhone sales. Google parent company Alphabet has surpassed Apple with a market value of about $748 billion.

    And possibly, I will. Because he's got a huge antitrust problem. Because he's controlling so much. Amazon is controlling so much of what they are doing. He's using the Washington Post, which is peanuts. He's using that for political purposes to save Amazon in terms of taxes and in terms of antitrust.

    Every hour we're getting calls from reporters from the Washington Post asking RIDICULOUS questions. And I will tell you, this is owned as a toy by Jeffrey Bezos. Amazon is getting away with murder, tax-wise. He's using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don't tax Amazon like they should be taxed.
