u.s. postal service is profitable. on the issue of taxes the president suggesting that amazon is somehow scamming the u.s. postal service. there is a patchwork of state and local regulations that determine how much money has to collect in terms of taxes. and the point that the "washington post" is somehow doing the lobbying work of amazon is on its face false. so i reached out to amazon, to the "washington post," also to the u.s. postal service for reaction, richard. no one wanted to say anything about the president's tweets. we got varying degrees of no comment. i would point out though that in terms of policy the white house says it expects to take no actions whether in terms of taxes or sort of retaliatory steps against the online retailers. >> jeff bennett there with the president in florida. thank you so much jeff. >>> want to bring in our panel, jeff mason, some min kim. a lot of moves in the cabinet this week and the question is what is next. some are calling it the spring cleaning since we had the first day of s

u.s. postal service that is an agreed-upon rate. the u.s. postal service often has financial problems and runs in the red year after year. but to attribute that to amazon is certainly questionable. then he says, the failing "new york times" reports that the size of the lobbying staff has ballooned, then he goes on to say that does not include "the washington post" which uses a lobbyist. those are tip agitator comments from the president going against media. he is certainly swinging at amazon and "the washington post" today, alex. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you so much from west palm for us. alexi and erin, alexi, first to you on this whole amazon thing, what are the president's calculations on attacking amazon? does it play best with his base? >> so my colleague jonathan swann as axios reported earlier this week that trump is not really upset at facebook, he's upset at amazon, seeming to stem from jeff bezos and "the washington post." you're right that this does cater to his base and is also a lack of understanding of the issues of what's happ

u.s. postal service for a bulk rate. you know, so some of this criticism you have to look at it and wonder if the president's criticism is related to his opinion of "washington post" coverage rather than his view of the tax issues involved. i will just add one more thing. that's that, you know, some people described what the president describes here as unfair treatment. other people simply call it commerce. you know, the amazon is a business and they're in the business of doing business. and so the president, i think, needs to lay out some of thinks criticisms in a little more detail there. >> margaret, there are a lot of things the president could be talking about this morning. and usually the twitter feed is our only real glimpse into his thinking. but could this be a way of him changing the subject from stormy daniels, the russia probe and the current chaos and turmoil at his white house? >> he certainly would like to change the subject away from those issues. i think the one area that many people are curious to know

u.s. postal service, that is patently false. packages is the one bright spot in the u.s. postal service.rs. this is a president who thinks americans still get their milk from, quote, the local milk people, unquote. it's kind of crazy. so the question is, if we want to talk about anti-trust, that's another thing. do you want to talk about how amazon is pushing retailers out? >> his wealthier friends who he hops on the phone with are saying this is forcing mom and pops out of business. >> to me it's unfortunate that he doesn't try to cover more pressing anti-trump issues like health care where we're seeing massive mergers, pricing going up and americans aren't able to keep up with the price of drugs. trump's fda had tweeted about that. if anybody should be retweeting about it, it's trump. this is a problem he can solve. >> how much of it is, though, about the guy who is at the top at amazon is also the same guy at the top as what the president affectionately refers to as the washington post. how much of this is personal? >> it's hard not to think this is personal. trump went really hard af

amazon and the postal service have an agreed upon shipping contract. while the u.s. postal service has been losing money year after year, u.s. postal service officials say that shipping has actually been one of its financial bright spots. one of the reasons why the post office is losing money, having covered this in years past, is because they have billions of dollars of retirement costs they have to pay out that they cannot afford, alex. when it comes to taxes, that's something that's determined on the state and local level. so it appears the president again is conflating jeff bezos' dual role as the amazon ceo and the owner of "the washington post" even though the two entities are separate. so this is a situation, it appears, where the president is attacking amazon, you might say, as a proxy for attacking "the washington post" for its coverage of his administration which he views as unfair. >> i think a lot of people might be able to see that perspective. to your point, i'm looking at the post office fiscal year 2017 report, and they back up everything you're saying

u.s. postal service. on the issue of taxes, the president suggesting that amazon somehow is not paying its fair share, well, there's a patchwork of state and local regulations that dictate whether or not people have to pay additional taxes to amazon when they purchase a product and the notion that the washington post is somehow the lobbying arm of amazon is, on its face, inaccurate. it appears that the president is using the washington post, his attacks, rather, against amazon as a proxy to attack the washington post, given that jeff bezos owns both. those are two separate entities. in terms of policy, the white house tells us not to expect any new regulations or taxes targeted against the online retailer. philip? >> jeff bennett for us live in west palm beach for us on this saturday. jeff, thank you. with us now, giddeon resident, karen atia, and dave lawler, associate editor at axios. dave i want to start with you, with that expulsion of russian diplomats. why has the president been so silent on this st
