It was Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' turn to get hit in a tirade by Donald Trump. The Republican Presidential candidate charged him with using a Washington Post op-ed in order to receive tax deductions. Jeff Bezos, part owner of The Post as well as the space flight company Blue Origin, gave his response to Trump, offering him a seat aboard one of its rockets, though it is not clear whether Trump would get a return ticket or not.

In The Washington Post, there were some tips on how the GOP Presidential candidate Jeb Bush can defeat Donald Trump in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina---with negative campaign ads. An indignant Trump wrote an immediate Twitter post slamming Bezos for using the daily to get a tax writeoff.

"The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon," he tweeted.

The tweet is rather puzzling, though. The Washington Post is separate from Amazon. While Bezos owns the daily personally, its loss will not affect Amazon's tax, The Guardian said.

Later, Trump called both companies losers and posted that he is good at winning.

However, while Trump is worth $4 billion, he has been overtaken by Bezos, who is worth almost $60 billion, pointed out RT Trump has not yet posted a reply.
