President Trump and Looming Anti-Trust (Anti-Monopoly) Actions
As MHProNews has uniquely kept MH Industry readers and investors informed, there are arguably more ‘anti-trust’ – read anti-monopoly – questions and concerns arising from this Administration and its allies than the prior one.
There are also concerns from prominent Democrats about anti-trust issues.
While the Trump Administration and the Democrats two are miles apart on many issues, the administration, his prior chief strategist Steve Bannon, and others allied with him are looking at not only the AT&T deal, but also Amazon as a possible target for anti-trust (monopolistic) concerns.

Per CNBC, and Yahoo Finance…
President Trump asked a billionaire investor twice whether Amazon was a monopoly
- President Trump asked Leon Cooperman twice during a dinner in July whether he thought Amazon was a monopoly.
- Trump has a periodically criticized Amazon and its billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, on Twitter.
- The e-commerce giant’s $13.7 billion deal for Whole Foods Market won relatively swift regulatory approval in August.
President Donald Trump sought a billionaire investor’s advice twice on whether he considered Amazon a monopoly during a dinner this summer, weeks before federal regulators signed off on the e-commerce giant’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
Trump appears to have reserved his antitrust fight for another giant deal: AT&T’s pending purchase of Time Warner, which is now headed to court. Trump, who has also openly criticized Time Warner’s CNN.
“President Trump asked me twice if I thought Amazon was a monopoly and I said, ‘No, Mr. President,'” Cooperman recounted on CNBC’s “Halftime Report.” “I think they’ve out-executed people. I think they’ve done a very good job.”
