Trump, Trump, Trump. I know, you’re probably tired of hearing about him but he just won’t go away. And it’s not even really full-on election season yet.
One of his latest Twitter barks (and there have been many) was at CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos:
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!

Sick burn, right? Well, Bezos came back with this whopper:
Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospace https://t.co/9OypFoxZk3

It’s been a weird year for political candidates, as they have taken to all forms of media to make their thoughts and feelings heard. While not everyone is taking the “spray and pray” approach that Trump is, when they say something on Facebook or Twitter, the world ends up seeing it. And this time, the world included his target, Bezos.
Let’s get to the space ride, though. Does he have to pay for his seat? I hope so. Although my main question is, “Does it have a return flight?” Let’s hope not.
