Amazon is a leader in cloud computing so far.

Microsoft was awarded the Defense Department’s 10-year JEDI cloud computing project over Amazon, whose founder, Jeff Bezos, has been a target of President Trump’s criticism.

Well, we can all be glad that Bezos' Amazon's lost out, since it's an ultra-rich company which has shown a lack of respect for people's privacy. Much better to choose Gates' Microsoft, a poor struggling company which has always had the best interest of Americans at heart.

Microsoft is not struggling, and Gates is not involved now.

Rich people bad, poor people good.

Wait, isn’t the crime rate, particularly violence crime rate, among the poor is like 1000 times of the rich?

He doesn't like Bezos because he owns the Washington Post, which reports the news accurately and honestly, and whenever you use the words 'accurately' and 'honestly' in relation to Trump, rest assured Trump will not like you.

He can do what he wants, just like Obama did.

Amazon hired and offered jobs to people who might have influenced the decision as well as their relatives. Had they won, the awarding of the contract would've been further contested. It's hard to believe that they were so brazen about gaining influence in the process.
