“Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost!” Trump said in the tweet.

Trump is losing the support of many company executives, some of whom resigned last week from a council of business leaders to protest the president’s response to the violent demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia. But he has often taken particular aim at Amazon and the Washington Post, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, for its coverage.

His remarks come amid one of the most tumultuous years in the industry’s history.
